5’10" 200lbs male - Looking for ultra plush / body contouring. I want it to be a like a marshmallow. I do not toss and turn at night, I want to sleep in the bed, not on it. Currently using an old mattress with a 4" memory foam topper, it’s probably less than 2lbs density - The cheapo blue swirl Amazon stuff.
After returning a Purple 3 I just couldn’t find a bed I liked in the store other than Tempurpedic but none were ultra contouring.
No cover as of yet, I have a very stretchy sheet that I was hoping would be good enough. However I’d probably go with something like this: sleeponlatex/organic-cotton-cover-
I am noticing that there are many retailers of various foams and there are many options to choose from. Am I making a quality choice here? Please let me know any suggestions.
PS. I do not care for hybrid beds, and am concerned that latex may make the bed too bouncy.
Welcome to The Mattress Underground ! Thanks for your question
Congrats on your new mattress shopping adventure:) ! You are off to a good start as it seems your preference is formemory foam. It definitely checks off the boxes of body contouring, motion isolation, and of “sleeping in” the bed feel. Good job on detailing your personal preferences!
Good work on making store visits and testing mattresses . Sorry to learn that your Purple 3 didn’t work out for you, KiryuKun0, nor the Termpurpedic. There are plenty of models out there that could be a better fit, so keep a running list of which tested ones do work and those that do not to help you continue to narrow down choices.
What is your preferred sleeping position(s)? In addition to BMI/ body profile type, sleep position(s) plays an important role in determining which materials and constructions are better suited for optimal comfort and support in a mattress. For example, if you are primarily a side sleeper, a 3" top layer may be more suitable for achieving the “marshmallow”/ body contouring feel you prefer. A topper encasement is needed to keep the layers from shifting, and your choice from trusted member SleepOnLatex is an excellent one.

Indeed; some do find that the combination of latex and pocket coils to be a little “livelier” than they prefer, especially if as in your case, they enjoy “sleeping in” the mattress and motion isolation. Do you have any updates on your mattress testing?
