Just wanted to report back about our purchase of a mattress at Sleeponlatex.com with the discount from TMU. All went very well; no issues. Very satisfied with the process that in large part began here at TMU. Regarding the mattress itself we have only just set it up. Thanks for the comprehensive information.
Hey Dcfas,
Thank you so much for the update on SOL, and you are very welcome, glad it can help.
Thanks
Sensei
I almost made a huge mistake buying a āwell rated for everyoneā mattress but decided to do a bit more research, scared of how confused I would get - but this forum actually made it really easy and Iām confident Iām making a decision on a quality bed that can hopefully be tweaked to our needs!

Thank you everybody for providing unbiased and useful information!
Long time lurker but Iām finally embarking on a DIY project after sleeping on a BIAB mattress that has given me lower back and hip pain as a side sleeper. After some local testing I realized that the much suggested 3x3 (SMF) configuration is too firm for me. Iām open to an all latex or hybrid mattress as long as I can get enough contouring as well as long term support.
Mattress shopping is incredibly arduous but this forum makes things a little bit better!
Hey SleepySlumberParty,
Welcome to the TMU Forum ! Thanks for your kind words on the site and for your question.
Congrats on your new DIY mattress project :cheer: ! Good to hear that you have access to local resources for testing materials, trial and error are definitely part of this process, as well understanding your comfort preferences for different materials in the component layers. You will find many useful resources available here, as well as plenty of TMU trusted member support. Phoenix offers some good advice in these posts,āDIY latex mattress stackingā, as well as āDifferent directions for buying a mattressā you may enjoy. Also of interest are the consumer subscribers who have shared their fascinating āDIY into the Wildā journeys, be sure to check out their thoughts as well.
Looking to hearing more as your work beginsā¦
Cheers,

Canāt figure out how to create a thread, and noticed a lot of people writing hereā¦
Does anyone have experience with matermoll mattresses sold in the USA by Global resource registry? Theyāre Italian made mattresses commonly used in high end suites on cruise ships
Hey Eddieknj,

Sorry to hear that you had problems starting a thread, I can do that for you so that your topic will get additional response. To help the TMU Forum better understand what your interests are with Matermoll, could you explain a bit more about what you are researching?
Global Resources Registry is a supplier to the Hospitality industry, offering a variety of imported mattresses, accessories and components to hotels and cruise lines. They also have available online purchase and direct-to-consumer shipping of their products. I did some checking and found GRRās showroom located in Miami; Matermollās website, however is currently under construction, not much going on there from an informational standpoint.
After your response on what your interests are, Iāll rename your post something more suitable .
Thanks,
Sensei
I tried contacting them to get specifics, they told me the foam is 65kg/m3 so 4lb density and I think they manufacture their own pocket coils but they didnāt give me a gauge it just says 7 zone.
Iām just curious if this could be a hidden gem of a mattress. From what Iāve found the few people who have purchased it say itās exactly like on the ship and they love it.
Hi Eddieknj,
Thanks for the update on your research. I did read a bit more and found that both Oceania and Regent Seven seas Cruises sell Matermoll beds from their web sites with customer support questions referred back to GRR/ contact toll free: 1-844-644-2417. Have you reached out to them with your specific component questions or were you reviewing the Oceania Bed Collection site? Iām renaming your topic to āHas anyone tried Matermoll mattress/better cruise ship mattresses?ā so that consumer subscribers who may have insights to share can find your specific questions more readily. Hope this helpsā¦
Thanks,
Sensei
Hi There,
How soft are the end support of latex mattress and is there a way to give it more support?
Also, looking for mattress advice. Iām 5ā6" ~145lb
Iāve used stupid hard mattress all my life and got a 3" foam topper a year ago. Itās been great, helped reduce my upper back/shoulder ache, but it has since came back. My gf says I have a mild scoliosis (i sort of disagree) but thatās besides the point. Iām a mix back and side sleeper but sides can be tough with a firm bed.
Iām not sure if I should look for a hybrid bed or a full 13" latex with either medium or soft configuration based on all Iāve been reading. My current bed foundation is pretty solid.
Given your weight I think most experts will say that 9" would be plenty of latex. Generally 12" is more important for heavier people. Ideally if you could test different configurations in person (difficult to do right now with stores often closed because of the coronavirus) then you could use that information to consider possible online sources as well. Something like 9" latex (soft/medium/firm) might be a place to start.
Thanks! Iāll look that direction. Appreciate the help!
Also, I think you want to have the foundation to be adequate otherwise it will likely reduce both the comfort and lifespan of the mattress.
I think I have a pretty good foundation. Itās practically a thick solid plywood :lol: I guess the only step left is to try it in person.
Iām just starting out and pretty overwhelmed still, but thank you for all the info, itās ultimately really helping :).

FYI you still have āMemorial Dayā sale links up for Nest Bedding in your Trusted members area. Memorial Day was a month ago and your default code doesnāt currently work on Nestās website which says itās invalid on their Fourth of July pricing.
Itās my understanding from looking through TMUās own policies that Trusted vendors are obligated to offer pricing to TMU members at least 5% below the prices advertised to the public on their own websites. When will you be updating the Nest code/links to provision this?
