Aloe Adelle vs. Aloe Alexis

[phoenix]

Hi Skook,

I had also considered Brooklyn Bedding’s Total Latex mattress, but it is more expensive, and my wife has a habit of thinking that everything should cost no more than it did 30 years ago.

It would even be great if things cost the same as they did even 10 years ago … but that’s wishful thinking and the mattress world has gone downhill a lot in that time.

Unless someone screams from the rooftop that the Aloe Alexis is a bad buy, I think it is at the top of my list. Now I just need to talk my wife into “upgrading” from a queen to a king. She is perfectly content with a queen because she starts out in the middle of the bed and works her way over to my side from there…

You sound like you have some similarities to my household. I can’t tell you how may times I’ve woken up on a narrow strip at the edge of my side of the bed … sometimes with one leg hanging off the side. Quite frankly though … I don’t mind because I’m a very “still” sleeper and nothing seems to bother me when I’m asleep (I’m famous for being able to sleep in any circumstances) … but besides the sprawling she also needs more room for all the pillows she sleeps with

I prefer to be cool while I sleep, and so I’m thinking there is a greater chance that the Aloe Adelle (memory foam top layer) may sleep hotter than the latex top layer. However, this opinion is based purely on what I’ve read in the past week or so and not on actual experience. As I said, anything will be better than what we have now.

You’re right that memory foam tends to sleep warmer than latex although the newer more breathable or gel memory foams are better than the older generation of memory foam in this way. There are also other factors involved in the sleeping temperature of a mattress besides just the top layer of foam which you can read about in post #2 here.
