Hello,
Just want to start off by saying how thankful I am that this forum/website exists. Helpful to know that others are just as meticulous in their bed preferences, and to know that the choosing process has been perfected is extremely helpful. Achieveing that perfection,however, is a whole other ball game, but I’m working on it. At this point I’m at my wits end, I’m so exhausted from spending money, time, energy… my only real question at this moment is: does latex stop being springy over time? This is a blend of talalay and Dunlop. I’m not sure of the specs… working on it. I just switched from a memory foam that was sagging a lot in the middle, throwing off my alignment, which sucks but after sleeping on this brand new mattress for the first time last night… long story short it has the ever so slightest bounce -not a secure and solid and motionless feeling like the memory foam- (entirely memory foam/foam, no coils) and it’s bothering me. I also woke up with my arm asleep I’m assuming that will go away over time as the same thing happened on 2 other beds I’ve gotten in the last couple months. The bounce is annoying… but the sagging and smell from the chemicals in the memory foam were also annoying. This current latex mattress is a chemical free mattress. I also have a 2 1/2 inch latex topper on it. Mattress itself is ten inches entirely latex with a proper foundation from the manufacturer… slats less than 2 inches apart etc…
I guess I wish there was a mattress that was denser like the memory foam so I didn’t sleep as though I’m subconsciously scared to move lest the bounce jolt my neck/back, or feel like I’m suspended in the air like on the coil mattress, or sink so far at my waist like on the memory foam… and preferably no chemicals. Not even sure what I’m asking, yes I have read about the PPP, anything else you or anyone suggest, I am here to listen. Do they sell clouds to sleep on? I’ll be first on the waiting list for one of those. Thanks again Phoenix for your dedication to consoling unhappy sleepers.
