Hey all! Last weekend my husband and I decided to make the most of what we had kind of lying around and built our own slatted foundation for our latex mattress. We had an existing box foundation and a piece of heavy duty plywood. Here's some pics to tell the story: This is what a box...

We got the 1" 20ILD topper from here. It came within a week and seems to be pretty good. http://www.mattressbymail.com/latextopper.html

You are absolutely right - that doesn't add up. Have you checked with the BBB to see if there are any complaints filed against the company? Or google searched any of it? It doesn't seem right that a label would be taken off or missing. Have you asked the guys at Mattress Discounters why it's...

Inspiration struck Saturday night. I thought that we might be able to build our own slat foundation from our existing box foundation and that piece of plywood we bought. Hence, we ended up with a DIY project that actually turned out to be fun. I'm going to post on a new thread the pictures in...

Hi! I can absolutely relate - four months ago I knew we needed a new mattress. I had no clue what adventure my husband and I were about to embark upon. First of all, try out the Temperpedic style mattresses in store. A friend of mine swears by hers, but I have read many different opinions...

One of the latest posts I read actually dealt with condensation build up under a latex mattress! http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/now-that-we-got-our-first-wonderful-latex-topper/4804-0-1.html zsbhi says "slept on the floor on our new 4 inch latex and the PU base until we built a...

We bought the new foundation today. Went to a local store and picked one up. I made sure to ask if we could return it if we didn't like it - especially since I didn't want to feel like I was sleeping on a rock as I did with the plywood. We get home, set it up - only to find out that we...

Update - the 1" topper is quite comfy. It didn't help much over the plywood board - we ended up yanking that out around midnight day 5 - my shoulder and shoulder blades were in awful pain. I just don't think hard plywood is the way to go for our foundation. We're back on the box spring as a...

New 1" topper arrived tonight and is in place. Here we go! It was also really refreshing to read about JCTurboT's experience with his SleepEZ in the old forum. Seems like he was having the exact same problem - that as the "foundation" for the bed changed, so did his opinion of the bed (and...

We bought a piece of plywood to go over our boxspring (we don't have room to put the mattress on the floor). It firmed everything up! Maybe a little too much. Now we have to rethink and retry everything. It's a little frustrating at this point. But again, I think it's good to stick with it...

Can I just say how awesome y'all are?! I cannot thank you enough for all of your encouragement and help in this process. I really appreciate all your posts on this and the old forum - they have helped us out tremendously!

Please check out the old forums. I spent pretty much the entire past two days pouring through the old forum, and WOW, is there even an extensive amount of advice and help to be found there! I know this has been posted before (time and again), but I thought it was worth mentioning again...

My husband is still waking up with back pain. We changed the configuration to medium/soft/firm and have been sleeping on that for about 2 weeks. It's a little too much on my hip and shoulder so we're adding a 1" layer of soft latex on top of that. I'm also considering trying med/med/firm...

My husband and I sleep in the middle and we do not feel the split down the middle of the mattress. This was a concern of mine as well, so we bought a full piece topper. The topper is no longer our top layer. We're still trying to configure our layers, but as we have similar body height and...

Hi all - I've been browsing this forum for the past two months in search of a new mattress. Ours was sagging and causing my husband back pain. After reading so many great reviews on latex, and being so frustrated with the innerspring mattresses, my husband and I decided to try out the latex...
