This site has been so helpful to me. Thank you all for your coaching! I purchased a king size air bed online knowing I would need to buy additional foam to make it similar to a Sleep Number i8 bed, without spending thousands of dollars. The air bed is basic with two remote controlled bladders...

Thanks for the Amazon link!! That's a great find for me.

Thanks for the advice! The topper is from Macys. It doesn't seem to be waterproof but perhaps it is. I will try to find a wool blanket to purchase. If anyone has suggestions on where to purchase one online, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi! Thank you all for your help on this forum! I have a 3 inch Talalay latex on my air mattress. I have a 1 inch cotton Macy's mattress pad on top but I still wake up with sweat and heat since I added the latex. I've searched online for a wool options to place on top. I have a king size bed...

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your advice on this forum! I bought a three inch natural latex topper. It's pretty hot. I have a polyester topper from Macy's on it which helps some but not enough. Any suggestions on what to cover the latex with that will keep me from sweating? I heard wool is...

Thanks to all of you for your help on this forum! I am cutting an original Eastern King size Tempurpedic we no longer use for my kids bunk bed. I'm wondering the most affordable place to buy two zipper covers for the foam mattress once I cut it? Any links you have would be helpful. Also, can I...

I slept on a Hilton suite dreams bed for a week and it was awesome! Can you help me find the equivalent Serta bed as I live in Hawaii and cannot find that bed here. I don't want to ship one out from the mainland as it'll be quite costly.

Thank you all for coaching me into fixing my bed. I added a 3 inch Talalay twin xl 20LDL on top of my hard, original Tempurpedic. What a difference it has made. I can now sleep on my back. I bought another one to even out the King sized bed. For two nights, I stacked the two 3 inch toppers...

I want to thank each of you for your advice in helping me get a better nights sleep! My background is I have a king-sized Tempur-pedic original bed which is eight years old. It's too firm for me and has caused many aches and pains while I sleep. I followed the advice many of you gave and...

I have slept on a firm Tempurpedic for years and the pain has hit my limits. A few weeks ago, I bought a $20 air mattress and have slept on it for 2 weeks. The ability to control the firmness has been great for me. I have a 3 inch talalay latex on top of it. Does anyone know how to build a...

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for days. Been busy. I don't want to buy a new traditional mattress. So I ordered 3inch Talalay latex topper. Haven't received it yet to test drive it. I bought a twin air mattress. Been sleeping on that. What a difference. I actually can sleep on my back...

Thank you all for your advice. I haven't purchased a bed yet as I'm in the researching best options mode. Are air beds worth it? I'm thinking a decent quality airbed would be a safer purchase as it will allow me to adjust the firmness. How about this vendor...

Thanks Glenbury! I've been debating this option of just buying a new bed. Will all the options out there, what do you recommend? I know I need a softer bed. Should I consider an air-bed since the softness can be adjusted? I realize air-beds usually have latex and memory foam added on top...

Thank you for your advice and speedy reply. I weigh 190 and am 5' 11. 1. Do you recommend I order from Foam Factory or another vendor? 2. Where do you recommend I purchase the wool from? Thanks again for your coaching!

I have a 10 year old Tempurpedic kingsize bed. It's so firm and I constantly toss and turn. I bought an extra thick polyester mattress topper from Macy's and it's helped but is still uncomfortable. I have to take ibuprophen each night as my body gets sore using this bed. When I lay on my...
