Hi,
I am so glad I came across your mattress forum. My husband and I are considering an all natural latex mattress.
I wanted to find out if you could recommend any local stores to visit in our area, zip 30152.We are willing to travel within an hour from us.
First we want to try some different ones to see what we like. We have been to OMF who have 2 models a very soft one, which I did not like and my husband did not try it when I said tooooo soft. They had another which I would say was medium firmness had some softness but also some support. I realize theirs are blended latex BTW. We have found several of the online retailers who are members and have talked with them, we havenât decided who to buy from yet.
We are very different sleepers. He is 6 ft 175 lbs stomach sleeper, I am 5â5 150 lbs side and back sleeper, occasional stomach sleeper but mostly to relieve pressure points. I did not toss and turn as much on the memory foam we had for 2 weeks.
I feel we need to get a bed that is customizable to his/hers so we can both get what we need comfort wise. We would love to try some more latex mattresses just donât know where to go locally. Before we make another purchase we wanted to narrow down further what we each like, OMF unfortunately only offers the 2 options to choose from. He is ok and likes the firmer bed. I could probably live with it. Weâd like something in the 9" range.
I believe we have narrowed down some likes and dislikes. I like memory foam but would rather have a healthier bed that we can both sleep on. My favorite 2 are the Tempurpedic cloud luxe and supreme. I am not sure what layers of latex would offer a similar feel to those. They are soft but have plenty of support and have a plush feeling on top. We both felt warm on memory foam, so itâs definitely not the way to go. In the whole process we are open to trying different bedding materials, bottom line we each want to be comfortable! It is not too much to ask. 1 st change is from queen to king, then from traditional spring coil to something more forgiving on the joints and rest of the body, preferably 100% natural talalay for the 3 layers.
My husband likes the softness and quilted feeling on a pillow top, but still likes support, he isnât too crazy about memory foam. I believe he doesnât like the stuck in the same spot feeling.
We also just retuned a Sleep Science memory mattress from Costco,after 2 weeks. We were told it is supposed to be medium soft bed. I have to say they have a great return policy and we chose that route because we werenât sure how we would like it. Needless to say my husband couldnât fall asleep and played musical beds for 2 weeks. It was too firm for him. I was ok with the bed but it was on the firm side for me.i slept fairly well on it. I liked that it provided support and pressure relief but not the settling feeling that made it hard to get out bed.
Any help/ advice would be great taken into consideration. This is not a very pleasant shopping experience since we canât agree on a sleeping surface.
We went to Mattress Firm to see what options they offered. We felt like we had to walk out with a new bed that day. Wonât be going back there, but was a great way to try all the memory foam.
