Hello.
I posted a few days ago, when I went to Magic Sleeper, a store recommended by Phoenix near my home, and tested an all-latex mattress but found I preferred a latex/gel hybrid mattress. I have slept on latex pillows since infancy, but I found the Magic Sleeper all- latex mattresses to be hard and not terribly comfortable.
Today I was in Ikea, for reasons unrelated to mattresses, and I decided, just for the heck of it, to try their Sultan Edsele 7" “natural” latex mattress. Much to my surprise, I found that this mattress had the springy, cool quality I had always enjoyed in my latex pillows, in contrast to the all-latex mattresses at Magic Sleeper.
Originally, before I went to Magic Sleeper, I was thinking of ordering an all-latex mattress from Arizona Premium Mattresses. Then I reconsidered upon being uncomfortable on the one at Magic Sleeper. Now my experience at Ikea is making me reconsider the all-latex mattress again. I’m wondering what might account for the differences in the mattresses. Is it possible that Magic Sleeper just uses an especially uncomfortable type of latex? If I ordered from Arizona Premium Mattresses, would I be likely to end up with latex that felt like the stuff from Magic Sleeper?
Thanks,
Todd
