Thanks for the quick reply and additional info, especially the Chattanooga area merchants who may carry latex mattresses.
I donāt know when I will have the time or possibly the ānerveā to check them out. This is a frustrating endeavor to have to educate yourself before making a purchaseā¦but such is the world we live in. And much better to do this than making a decision based on the "eye appeal " of the cover and a brief period of testing mattresses, fully clothed with someone watching and rattling on about what a good deal it is.
My wife is having total knee replacement soon and would love to have the new mattress before that, but its not looking promising. Her added pains-discomfort is one thing that has prompted this search.
Youāre very welcome. I hope youāre able to find a good selection that is close to your home.
Youāre certainly on the right track by doing a bit of reading and arming yourself with information before making a visit to any retailer. If you visit in the spirit of āopennessā, simply looking to test and gather information about the layers within a mattress, you should be welcomed with open arm by any retailer that is willing to educate and share information about their products.
My best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. It certainly would be nice to have this all done by the time she comes home from her procedure.
Please let me know if you come up with new questions about anything you find.
Thanks for all of the info! It helped me wade through all of the specs and advertising to decide on a Sleep Ez 10 inch latex mattress. Time to ditch the old sagging Stearns and Foster!
Congratulations on making your new mattress purchase! :cheer: Youāre certainly choosing a product that uses good durable materials. And Iām glad you took advantage of the site discount.
Iām looking forward to your feedback once youāve had a chance to sleep on it for a while.
Thanks very much for the wealth of information. I am very glad to have found this site right at the time I was about to pull the trigger on a mattress without having done much or any research. I have learned much in the last few days.
I wasnāt sure whether to start a new thread or to just post here.
We received our new mattress from Arizona premium mattress ultimate hybrid a couple of weeks ago. As an aside, he told us to expect 3 weeks and we got in in two weeks. Under promise and over deliver is definitely nice.
The bed has been awesome so far. The 36 ILD topper, given my weight of 350+, was definitely the right recommendation for me. It gives where it needs to give, and it feels like sinking right into support. I feel like the alignment has worked well for me. My wife has definitely enjoyed it very much herself and she seems to be getting good sleep overall. Her 32 ild as a side sleeper is working. You can definitely tell a little difference between the two sides, but it isnāt drastic. Iām definitely glad Ken recommended the 36 for my side.
Overall, the installation with 2 people went like was shown in the video. I started to try it just by myself, but it didnāt progress very well.
The first week definitely took some adjustment and I did have some back pain in my mid and upper back as I was getting used to being in proper alignment. The old mattress, while comfortable to us, did definitely allow our upper back and shoulders to roll instead of being supported. That has since subsided and I wake up feeling really good. I definitely love this mattress
Overall, I would definitely recommend ordering from them, and if you arenāt 100% sure on firmness, give them a call to make the order.
Thank you for all the information that you provide! It definitely makes it possible to wade through all the misinformation to find the right mattress for the right price.
Thanks for the follow up on your Arizona Premium Hybrid mattress. Iām glad that youāre enjoying it and adjusting accordingly.
Iām glad the suggestions Ken made for you are working out. Itās always so much more beneficial to speak directly with the manufacturer and use their experience and detailed knowledge and apply that to your specific needs.
Iām glad you gave the configuration a chance and allowed your body to adjust and lose a bit of its ālearned alignmentā from your old mattress.

Yes, thatās great advice to phone.
Youāre very welcome! And I hope youāre able to post again ādown the roadā after youāve had some more time on your new mattress.
Hi, new member here. Thanks for the great amount of information on mattresses here, it really helped me find the best option for my budget (Sleep on Latex medium firmness, will let you know how it goes!), and thanks again for the 5% member discount.

Your question is much too broad for a specific answer. There are a wide variety of mattresses of innerspring, polyfoam, memory foam, latex and natural fibers made in both the United States and Japan. One design isnāt necessarily better than another, but itās more about learning about the quality of componentry used within a mattress and then finding out through personal testing what might be best for your personally, as outlined in the mattress shopping tutorial.
