Heavy weight - Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme Breeze alternatives

Hi fishv12,

Thank you for your quick reply Phoenix you were the person I was hoping to get answers from.

You’re very welcome.

I have read that latex has a more bouncy feeling which is somewhat of an in between memory foam and a spring mattress feeling although offers pressure point relief such as the memory foam.

Latex is more resilient (bouncy) than memory foam – you are correct. It has a feel that some people describe as buoyant, versus the more “dead” feel of memory foam. Both materials are very point elastic and contouring.

If I was to consider latex what should I be looking for?

I would find a local retailer offering all-latex products and lie down and simply try a few out. All latex you’re likely to encounter will be a good quality and durable material, so it would come down to the overall softness of any latex mattress you might be considering.

All things considered I was wondering if you knew any models off hand that you would recommend for my situation? The list is long not that I am asking for you to do my homework I just thought maybe you came across one or two that you might remember.

Ahh…I think you’re asking me to do a little of your homework for you . While I can certainly help with “how” to choose … It’s not possible to make specific suggestions or recommendations for either a mattress, manufacturers/retailers, or combinations of materials or components because the first “rule” of mattress shopping is to always remember that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and there are too many unknowns, variables, and personal preferences involved that are unique to each person to use a formula or for anyone to be able to predict or make a specific suggestion or recommendation about which mattress or combination of materials and components or which type of mattress would be the best “match” for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, or PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences) or how a mattress will “feel” to you or compare to another mattress based on specs (either yours or a mattress), sleeping positions, health conditions, or “theory at a distance” that can possibly be more reliable than your own careful testing (hopefully using the testing guidelines in step 4 of the tutorial) or your own personal sleeping experience (see mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here).

I looked at Memory Foam Comfort and the Cumulus seems like a good option for me actually considering it’s build has nothing under 5.0lb per cubic foot for memory foam and 2.0lbs per cubic foot for the poly foam. Although it has only three actual layers does that make any difference or is more layers a better thing for comfort? Their other model the Presto has a 4.0lb per cubic foot layer of memory foam so that wouldn’t work.

I would phone them with your situation, as they can sometimes come up with options that are a bit different from what is displayed on their web site. They certainly would have materials that could suit your needs, should you desire the type of memory foam products they offer.

There is a retailer called Matelas Lapensee which builds their own mattresses here locally which I wonder if you have any opinions about.

I only know that they have been making mattresses for over 100 years and they do tend to be informative about the materials they use, so hopefully it would be an educational visit should you go to their store.
