It arrived yesterday at work.
Loaded four 55 pound boxes into the back of my truck and drove them home. Then I alone carry them up to my 3rd story bedroom. Moved the old Eastern King mattress to the guest room. I then assemble the entire mattress. Well I was helping my daughter with computer problems over the phone while I was doing it.
The first piece is the hardest to set in place as the latex is grippy and it wants to grab the mattress cover. At one point I was convinced they sent me the wrong cover, they did not. What worked for me was get it in to the basic position, and then make fairly steep “hill” in the middle of the mattress:
----^---- (bad ascii art of a "hill "in the middle.
then kind of shake it into place. I did this first top to bottom, the left to right.
The 2nd piece, next tot the first piece since this is a split, was a bit easier using the same method.
The remaining 6 pieces were fairly easy.
I then Made the bed, finished tech support with the daughter, and rolled around on it a bit. Took me about 2 hours, but remember I did it all by myself including moving the big old Stearns and Foster eastern King to the guest room.
SO about 9 pm, my back is aching and I decide to go to bed and read a bit. Pop 2 advil to help with the back.
Sleep impressions.
6’4" 225lbs:
It was firmer than I thought. My configuration from top to bottom is Med, Firm, XFirm, XFirm.
SO I woke up early and kind of felt I was laying a bit on a board it was that firm, but then I realized I was fully supported, but very firmly. I do a lot of yoga, and have laid flat on a floor and understand what the pressure points are, and the bed was different, very firmly supported.
But the biggie, was NO hip pain… Absolutely Zero. And later I realized reduced shoulder pain. By 6AM I was in the yoga studio, doing a morning practice and I really noticed the hip pain was gone and it was easier to practice.
The other side, for my GF who is only there about 40% of the time, is (5’4" 125) Soft, Med, Firm, XFirm. She was not present.
I tried it for a bit, and it seems fairly firm as well. I could not feel the split, but as I rolled onto her side it was an odd sensation, not necessarily bad, and almost seemed a bit like I was falling, I think my body sensed a changed in support and this is how it registered.
THis is the first night, and I will update after a week or so.
Additional Comments.
SLeep EZ sent me the wrong mattress protector. It was suppose to be some Cotton Wool thing, but what they sent was some cheap item that Amazon has for like $40. I sent them a terse, email last night, as I was tired. They called me first thing, and she said they would send me the wool and cotton protector as ordered, and to do what ever I wanted with cheaper one, cool. Any clue what the Cotton and wool protector is, I cannot find it on the web site.
I have attached a picture of the end of one piece of latex.
