Mattress Forum

we began this journey when our old simmons 400 nxg decided to give out and the springs were fading and i wanted a new mattress..

we went with a very firm latex mattress that was already made the 6 inch core was a 36ild and the 3 inch top was a 28ild. it was way way too firm so like most people on here we tried to soften it with latex 1 inch toppers (didnt work) we tried 4 and 5 pound memory foam ( nope still very bad it would just sink to the top of the latex and become hard)

after a month of this we ended up selling the latex bed for 1/4 of what we paid. rrrrrrrr......

we told ourselves that we were going with a sterns and foster (brookstone estate collection) it too was a JOKE!  within a month i was sinking down three inches and waking up in extreme pain. we ended up doing mattress surgery and tying to replace the foam with latex and thought we fixed the problem but with a couple of nights the pain was back and we just did not have the right latex ild to fix the prob but.we could not fix it because the springs were extremely firm everything we put on top was like a rock and way too high.

so we found ourselves back in mattress stores shopping for yet (another) mattress ( extremely broke and unhappy)

we decided to go with a big name and with the tempurpedic lux supreme  ............  how do i put this mattress experience into words,, wait im a christian so i will be nice  soft on top hard as marble on the bottom after two weeks and a $300 try me now sticker (90 days or money back less 300 dollars) we called the store and told them it was the worse thing my wife and i have ever tried to sleep on.

i kept telling my wife latex, latex, latex. but what bed, what company flobeds? 3000 again rrrrrrr   plus more money to fix it if its not right. ?

seems like a guessing game that we have already played,, and lost... so i did what i thought was the right decision ( you guys can yell at me.. go ahead)

so what to do..........   We called sleeplikeabear  and just placed an order here is what we ordered

3 inch 32, 3 inch 28, 3 inch 24 and a 2 inch 19 ( we have a 2inch 14ild) so the way i look at it (if) we can make latex work it will be with all the ild out there i stayed away with a 36 ild because of our first latex beng way to firm.

so i will let you know how this will all end up we are on a mission my friends i just wish i got paid to do this...  lol not thats funny the bank account is not laughing either is the wife.

on a side note sleeplikeabear has the BEST customer service out there and i feel like there prices beat anything out there unless you are going over seas to get your latex. or it is blended. plus i think they make the very best wool , cotton, and bamboo covers that you can order over the internet by themselves.

i will keep you updated once the building of the latex begins.
