Hi there. I have no previous experience in latex mattresses but am interested for all latex for our next mattress purchase. What I am struggling with is whether to pursue zoning. I live in Canada and it doesn’t seem like there are many options in all-latex - only ones at really high price points. I am struggling with shoulder pain and often low back pain with my current old memory foam mattress. Sometimes side sleeper but I used to be a stomach sleeper years ago, and realistically I mostly sleep in a position that is between my side and stomach with a couple pillows shoved underneath to get enough support. Nothing is fully comfortable. I have measured my hip and shoulder differentials with my back and waist and they are about 3". I’m about 125 pounds. 2" lumbar gap, I think? Never been comfortable lying straight on my back.
I’ve read the articles/posts about zoned support but I’m still not sure if it is worth searching out, or should I consider a zoned topper if whatever we purchase still doesn’t work? Or should I just move on to a hybrid coils/latex since there may be more options I can try out in store? How do I figure out if zoned is right for me?
Thanks for the advice!
