Weāve been sleeping on the king size Sultan Edsele mattress with the Torod mattress topper for a couple of months now. The first night we had it, we slept on the mattress straight on the living room floor with no topper (wrong size topper was delivered). Definitely hard, but thatās to be expected.
Since then, weāve put it on the highest quality foundation IKEA offers right now, the Sultan Atloy box springsāthat right there is probably a good portion of the reason for our restful sleep! We finished the bed with the Bekkestua headboard and 8" legs. Both of us like what we have going on with this bed. Previously we were in a softside waterbed, before that we tried organic handmade mattresses, shikibuton on tatami mats, memory foam toppers thrown over innerspring mattresses, innerspring mattresses, and an 8 year stretch with Tempurpedic.
Latex is the right choice for us for comfort, dustmite allergies, ease of moving house and changing positions (vs waterbed) and longevity. Every time we flop down on the memory foam guest bed, itās like quicksand sucking us down and fighting our attempts to change positions. Now we wonder how we did Tempurpedic for so long, and all those nights of arms falling asleep on memory foam! Latex feels springy and bouncy.
So far no impressions on the mattress from any of the three sleepers (we cosleep with our child). Thereās a 250 lb person, a 50 lb person, and a 150 lb person. No rolling into each other from the sleeping valley like we had with Tempurpedic and with the waterbed.
We still wake up often, but thatās from a kid wanting the light turned on, any of us wanting water, cats jumping on us, stuffy noses require flipping sides, bladders yell at us, someoneās phone lights up when itās supposed to be in blocking mode, and who knows what else. Even with that, weāve all had nights where we sleep right on through. Glorious nights those are!
I wish I had some extra dough lying around so I could buy a full or queen Edsele for our kidās room. Weād sleep so much better if we were separate and not fighting for covers or room! Alas, fear of the dark is hard to overcome. Still, when tax return times comes, it will be hard not to hang rope lights in every corner of the kidās room, add a few flashlights, and buy another Edsele/Torod combo and hope for the best! IKEA has the Edsele $50 off right now for IKEA Family members.
If a young childās opinion is of interest to all of you, kiddo misses the waterbed because the new IKEA bed is very tall and hard to climb. I say it builds muscles so keep climbing, and Iāll get shorter legs for your bed if you get one
