I’m new to the site but have been perusing the forum for the last week. I’ve been sleeping on a saatva medium mattress with a saatva topper for about 5 years. I’ve noted the comments on lack of lumbar support for that mattress. Mattress has been exacerbating existing SI joint problem and it feels too firm. I’m primarily a back and side sleeper though side sleeping hurts my shoulders which I would like to address. I’d love to sleep on my stomach but it kills my low back. I try to sleep with pillows under my knees as sleeping without that support is painful for my low back. Trying to narrow the “materials” I should look for and fast-track my search. I sleep hot although a temperpedic mattress at a friend’s house was the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. I am set on getting an adjustable frame and could go the route of just doing that and adding a topper or get a new mattress altogether with an adjustable frame. I also have restless legs so adjustable frame is recommended for that as well. I’m willing to spend money to get a configuration that feels better on my shoulders and low back. I plan to try latex locally as I’m concerned I may not be able to tolerate any kind of “jiggly” sensation. I sleep alone so don’t need to adjust for a partner. 5’3’, range between 130-150 lbs.
Hi @mel7 I saw your mention of your love of the Tempuredic but the concern about the temperature. Our newest mattress the Azalea is made with a foam that is designed to have the feel of latex, but it does not have the temperature retention. If you like the cloud like feel of a pillow top with supportive foam to relieve pressure points in your hips and shoulders, you would love the high quality foams we use.
Please let us know if we can answer any other questions!

I bought the BS2……no more back pain.
