Thanks for the feedback Phoenix. I contacted SelectFoam again but this time talked to Peter. While Juan originally steered me in the direction of the Grandis and Regalis, Peter’s opinion was that the Cirrus Luxe would be the best fit for me based on my size and sleep preference (6’4", 195lbs, broad shoulders, side sleeper). He feels the comfort layer of the Luxe will allow me to sink in a bit more into the mattress to compensate for my shoulder width. His second choice was the Regalis, however he felt the Luxe would still offer me better support. At this point I’m really sitting on the fence between the two models. My fear with the Luxe is that it will become “too soft” over time and not give me the proper alignment and support. If the Regalis has too firm of a feel, it seems using a memory foam topper to soften it defeats the purpose of finding the “right” mattress fit. The Regalis may also be a mattress that may offer me better support after the break-in period. The specs of the models in consideration are as follows, as listed on the corresponding sites;
SelectFoam Regalis-HD 12"
1.5" 7lb Soy SELECT-HD™ Memory Foam
2.5" 5lb Soy SELECT™ Gel Foam Support Layer
SelectFoam Cirrus Luxe-ES 13"
2.5" 4lb soy SELECT-ES™ gel memory foam
2" 8lb soy SELECT-HD™ gel foam support layer
BrooklynBedding PureCool Luxe
1.5" PureCool™ 5lb Memory Foam
2" 4lb Gel-Infused Memory Foam
2" 5lb Memory Foam
7.5" of 2.17lb BB HD Foam Core
Brooklyn Bedding PureCool Symphony (Incomplete specs on website)
4.5" of Super Cool Memory Foam
“High quality” 5lb comfort layer
High Quality 2.17lb BB HD Foam
Further information given by Peter was that the Regalis HD is in between the Rhapsody and Rhapsody Breeze in regards to “softness feel”. Any feedback between these 4 models in comparison from owners or a more educated eye than myself would be greatly appreciated, as well as more complete specs. Also wondering if anyone has any long term experience with any of these mattresses beyond the 30-90 day break in period and how they responded. And finally, if owners of the Regalis or Cirrus find either of them to sleep “hot”.
I would also like to add that Peter at SF was great to talk with on the phone. He was very informative, took a lot of time to answer questions, and I never felt like he was pushing for a sale. The customer service thus far with both SF and BB has been very good.
Amr2625,
The Cirrus Luxe ES-13 sleeps noticeably cooler than my old memory foam mattress it replaced. This mattress does not sleep hot at all. If you want more information on my thoughts, you can check out my ongoing review here . I will post my 7 day thoughts this weekend on the mattress. Peter also told me the Cirrus Luxe would be fine for me, and as I said previously in this post, my body type is very similar to yours. My thoughts thus far, just to summarize in one sentence is that this bed feels just like the Cloud Luxe I laid on for 30 minutes at the mattress store. Knowing what SF puts into their mattress, and the quality of the construction which is noticeable and very elegant, coupled with the value of the asking price, this is much better in almost every category than the Cloud Luxe.
