Hi Aus10sntx,
You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. Congratulations on the new Nest Signature Hybrid!!! :cheer:
As you know Nest Bedding is one of Trusted Members which means that I think very highly of them and that I believe that they compete well with the best in the mattress industry in terms of their quality, value, service, knowledge, and transparency. I certainly look forward to hearing how it works out for you after you receive it and have a chance to sleep on it for a while. I’d first make sure to give some time for your body to adjust to the new mattress and for the mattress to adjust to you,… it can take up to 30 days for your body to adjust to a new sleep surface as well as lose some of its “learned alignment”,
Thank you for taking the time to share the Cantwell specifications, this is certainly a nice mattress with no weak links as it relates to the materials you provided in the post. I am glad that they were willing to share the complete mattress specifications. The N1-N5 are Talalay global’s 100% Natural Talalay designations and it good that Cantwell allows for customization as with your surgery it may take a bit of fine-tuning. The 2" of organic cotton batting seems quite thick… there should be a weight specification that can be used for more accurate estimations but it’s not relevant for you at this time. As with the nature of any quilt fiber, if it’s polyester or cotton, it will compress fairly quickly. While quilt thickness and fiber compression are not considered weak links and are relative to the overall design of the mattress, its thickness and compression can be an issue for some people so with your condition it is good to be aware of.
As far as value for quality … there is more about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your Mattress buying personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).
I wish many restful nights on your new mattress and the best with your recovery from the rib cancer and surgery, I can’t fully imagine how difficult this can be, but my thoughts are with you.
