I am still searching for the right bed and have narrowed it down to a few a like. It seems like the best option would be one of the online choices of latex mattresses, but I am a little hesitant to buy without being able to lay on them. One of the mattresses I found is a Sealy Springfree Beachside and has a synthetic latex core, the other is a Lotus Asana plush made by PranaSleep and that one has a poly core with two inches of latex on top . My question is, since they are both made from chemicals will there be much of a difference in durability or is the synthetic latex still better. I am still considering a Simmons Black coil mattress, but would really like to give foam a try. Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks. |
For myself, I am a heavy (>250) side sleeper with lower back pain (arthritis), hip pain, and pinched nerves, and I went with a blended Talalay latex mattress. My configuration is quite firm, three layers of 36 ILD latex, and a 2" soft topper over that. My latex mattress has helped my back and hip issues. Some people just don't like an all latex bed and want to feel some springs. Some people are still trying to get it right after years of fussing with their mattress. |
