Phoenix,
Many thanks for your guidance, your wisdom knows no bounds!
I was very impressed with the reviews I’ve read on here of both companies, and my conversation with Shawn at SleepEz made me feel much more comfortable with the idea of buying without trying first. He was extremely knowledgeable, and friendly.
I tried Clean Bedroom and Scott Jordan and found both of them to be very knowledgeable and professional. Learned a lot, and got to feel some of the differences between talalay and dunlop, etc. Clean Bedroom seemed to be on the higher end of the spectrum, there were only one or two options I could afford.
I guess my main concern wasn’t trying to replicate anything I tried exactly, my main concern is making sure whatever I end up ordering provides the right balance of pressure relief and support.
I had the chance to try the Savvy Rest with soft, med, firm all dunlop, and it worked pretty well. I do prefer the feel of talalay though, and Shawn had some good guidance regarding that.
Going to go to a few more stores and decide. If i could get something locally I would prefer to, but haven’t found the right value yet. I don’t mind paying a small premium, but so far the premium to ordering from SleepEz is around 40% for what seems to be a very similar product.
Thanks again
