Hey everyone, we’re coming from the original Casper mattress as I’ve been struggling with horrible lower back pain in the morning for quite some time. I previously flew helicopters for a living and assumed it was just that bug lately have been researching and figured it might be the bed. I (6 foot 1 and 230 lbs) felt the original casper was a bit firm and my wife (5 foot 5 and 110lbs) couldn’t sleep on it due to the firmness. We purchased a 2 inch bamboo memory topper and the wife has been happy with the bed ever since. I think the bed is comfortable but I wake up in pain every morning. My wife is mostly a side sleeper though she does end up on her back from time to time. I typically fall asleep on my side but I always wake up on my back, some people I’ve talked to say this might be because of the bed. Our current bed “feels fine” but I can only stay on my side for so long, my should begins to get sore making me think it’s too firm. When I was younger I would occasionally sleep on the floor (always on my back) and enjoyed it and the return to comfort the next night.
After much research I think I like the offerings and return policy from SleepEz. I’m looking for a split king setup and their configurator is reccommending a Talalay Soft Top, Med Middle and Firm Bottom for my wife, while they recommend a Med Tala. top, Med Middle, Firm bottom for me. This all seems fine to me and had I not known more I’d likely just pull the trigger on it and see how it goes but after some research I wanted to see what the masses say here. I’m open to any advice or alternative views.
