I'm interested to hear about the Costco mattress. Try anything else for your back pain? I'm sure you wanted to punch through your screen and hit me when I said that, because I'm sure you have. Two things that really helped me was a 1 hr stretching routine I used to do (afterwards, no back pain)...

Did you ever try a wool topper on the latex? Just curious if that helped with the sleeping too hot problem.

Wow Kimberly I'm impressed with your knowledge of latex manufacturers! 100% natural latex is rumored to be crumbly, compared to natural latex blended with synthetics. Actually... none of that is really correct. Latex is a suspension of elastomer particles in a liquid. When the liquid is gone...

Thanks for the tips on the mohair. I'm hoping to get the coarsest stuff available, as it will hold up better, and from what I understand it doesn't shrink when wet, though it will felt.

Uh. One thing I found was the ridiculous prices on quilted wool toppers. 3 inches for a queen sized bed. Stuffed with 14 lbs of wool, for $300 to $400. I can get mohair (nice, soft, hardwearing) from a nice lady here in Oregon for like.. $4 a pound. She has a storage unit full. I'll wash it...

I have a 7yr old, $200 when bought brand new futon that my lady and I have slept on every night for 7 years. I'm 6ft and 200lb, while she is 5ft and 140lbs. Its gotten less comfortable lately. Perhaps I'm getting older. In pricing beds, the fact that they cost so much, and perform so poorly...
