Hi Sekhmet,
Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and feedback … I appreciate it.
As you probably know from your research here … there will be a break in and adjustment period with any new mattress that is different from what you are used to sleeping on (see post #3 here). This is completely normal.
As you probably also know from your research here … you can’t “feel” the quality or durability of the materials in a mattress. Latex is among the highest quality and most durable materials in the industry so regardless of how anyone “feels” on a latex mattress (which is more of a preference than anything else) … it is certainly a durable choice. There is more about the many variables that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress in post #4 here and the posts it links to.
Your sleeping experience and how you feel on the mattress will most likely change over the course of the next few weeks as your mattress breaks in and you get used to the “feel” of a material that is different from what you are used to but of course the only way to know whether any mattress is a good “match” for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) is based on your own personal experience.
I’m looking forward to any additional comments you have the chance to share once you’ve had the chance to sleep in it for a few weeks.
