Mattress Forum

  Background:

The SS latex mattress I bought, I slept 1 day on it on top of its soft side. It is somewhat too soft for me.

Also with its foundation resting on my iron rails frame, it is still low and I am 6 feet tall.

I am thinking of returning it all - mattress and crappy foundation.

I still don't know what caused the sag in middle of mattress. My good guess is that it is the metal foundation that did it.

The foundation is metal tubes interconnected. It has big gaps where there is no support. Where the mattress has sagged in middle there underneath it is the foundation area with 3.5 foot by 4.5 foot or so rectangle shaped metal tubes and in between that area there is no support!!that is where the latex mattress has sagged and the sag is showing in the foundation plastic cover which too has sagged there.

What would be the best course of action?

Like it has been suggested:

1. put the mattress on the floor to see if sagging goes away. But is it too heavy for me and I live alone.

2. return the mattress and foundation. and just get the new latex mattress resend by SS.  and get a foundation from a local store and put that latex mattress on that foundation. But if that does not work out and i return it to costco would Costco take the return? That is the question.

Last course of action - Please suggest me a tempurpedic.

3. Get a Tempurpedic mattress. But I don't know anything about Tempurpedic mattresses. How should I test which one suits me best? would the TP mattress feel different after a night of sleep than how they feel after 30 minutes laying on them in the mattress store? Would they become harder or softer?

do the TP mattresses come with their own special foundations? which ones should I chose if they have choices?

I prefer to sleep on soft surface but with excellent support. Not too soft like this soft part of Sleep science latex mattress.  Not hard surface definitely.
