We’re on our forth new mattress in 18 months and REALLY need to get our next purchase right.
We both LOVED our high-end Simmons. It was pocketed inner springs, edge support, pillow-top and NO memory foam. It provided firm but not hard support under a soft and very comfortable pillow-top. Nine years after purchase there were very obvious body impressions, but it was just as comfortable and supportive as the day it was delivered and we fully expected it to last many more years. It was nearly 10 years old when a foster feline used it as a litter box…
I called Simmons, provided label data, asked for the model name(s) of today’s equivalent and with minimal shopping around (we were in the midst of packing to relocate out of state), purchased what was supposed to be comparable. It was not. It was significantly softer than the showroom model, so Sleepys exchanged it.
Because we were packing like crazy, I assumed the low back and pelvic pain I was experiencing was a result of excess physical labor, bending, stooping, lifting, etc. But when we traveled (stressful business travel), after only two nights of sleeping on another bed – a low budget King Koil topped with Dunlop-like latex foam, all pain had subsided.
Latex beds were impossible to find, so we settled on a TempurPedic. Shortly thereafter handsome husband began complaining of major backaches. Months later we purchased a Sealy, which works for HH but it causes pain, numbing and tingling in my arms and legs.
Needless to say, we’ve wasted a LOT of money and really, REALLY need to make the right choice this time. We’re trying to choose between a four-layer LATEX bed from SLEEP EZ and a customized HYBRID bed from FOX.
We sampled four layer LATEX beds by SAVVY REST ($5100) which SLEEP EZ offers for half the cost – but will it feel the same???
FOX MATTRESS MAKERS has assured us they can build a HYBRID (“Quatum” Pocketed Coils topped with Latex) which will feel like our beloved Simmons. The friendly FOX salesperson said “QUATUM POCKETED COILS” are new, but assured us they’re the best choice for our needs. But I can’t find any data about them online. Help!
I’ve read mixed and conflicting reviews regarding longevity and durability of both inner spring and latex mattresses. Both beds we’re considering are priced similarly, and I am hopeful that either will work for both of us, but which would last longer, maintain supportive level, not sag, etc?
All comments welcome. Many thanks!!
