I really like the idea of the layers on the Sleep EZ, and am not in a position to test latex mattresses. I wrote the following to Sleep EZ, but also wanted to get input from users here. Also, I am leaning toward the 10":
I am preparing to buy a latex mattress, and am interested in your 10" and 13" models. I have never used a latex mattress (but have a latex pillow that I am very happy with), and have only been able to try memory foam (which I don’t like due to limitations on side-to-side movement). Of tempurpedics, I did not like the base model (Contour?) I tried, as it was too hard, not the Cloud Supreme which was to soft. The Cloud Select seemed about right, except for the viscousness of the foam. I think that puts me near the center of firmness preferences, but I would like your recommendations in regard to the two models.
My wife and I are both 64. I am 6’, 180 lbs. I generally sleep more on my side, but also on my back. I have some bursitis in my shoulders which can cause pain when on my side. My wife is 5’2", 120 lbs., and sleeps similarly, but perhaps more on her back than I do. She also has scoliosis which results in lots of back pain, particularly from inactivity (she is happiest when walking). She also likes a firm bed, but perhaps should have a somewhat softer option than myself. She uses a memory foam pillow that was given to her, but doesn’t really love it. And, I don’t know if it is relevant for latex, but she also uses a heating pad nightly before going to sleep. Thanks for your suggestions.
