I’m 5’10", around 165 lbs
I used to use a cheap Comfort Dreams Select-A-Firmness (Soft) memory foam mattress I ordered from overstock. I used that for about 4 years. although it didn’t seem like the best of quality, and It was a little too soft for me, I liked it a lot more than what i’m sleeping on now. It also ran occasionally hot, which I know is a common problem with memory foam. Also. I missed having a bounce, which made me want to switch back to springs.
Last year I moved across country (to Las Vegas area) for medical school about a year ago, and purchased a new beautyrest recharge mattress. It felt very comfortable when I first started using it, but overtime it seems too soft for me and doesn’t offer enough support. I have a very minor scoliotic curve, which wasn’t even ever diagnosed until I was in med school. I have occasional back pain, which I believe has become much worse from using my current mattress. I think these days I pretty much only sleep on my side, and maybe occasionally the stomach, but I remember sleeping on my back more when I had the memory foam.
I want to get a king or a queen. Right now I have a full size mattress, and when my girlfriend and my small dog are on it with me it can get a bit crowded, which is reason enough to upgrade. The beautyrest doesn’t seem like a terrible mattress, so i’m just going to let my girlfriend have it for her apartment.
When I first started looking the T&N seemed like a great choice based on the price and reviews on Amazon. After doing a little more research I read an article on consumer reports saying that casper has better spine support than T&N. After that I did some more research making me consider BB BME, which seems to be an incredible value for the materials they are using. I really like the idea of the bounce that i’d get from the latex. They are also offering a free pillow right now, and free stuff is always amazing. So right now i’m torn between the T&N and BB BME. If I get the BME i’ll probably go for the medium firmness, but i’ll talk to them to reaffirm that choice.
Right now i’m leaning towards BB BME. If I get the T&N I would be able to afford a King if I wanted, but A queen is probably perfectly fine for my needs right now though.
Thanks in advance for the input :), this website is an amazing resource
