We are on the search for new mattress. We need to get rid of our 10 year old Prana due to hammocking. We really like the latex feel of the Prana. The most important thing we need is something that gets rid of motion due to my husband’s RLS. We are mostly side sleepers, he is 6’1", 190lbs and I am 5’3", 170lbs. Do you have any recommendations for laytex beds? I know that Latex can be quite expensive and we really don’t want to have to put in thousands of dollars like we did with our Prana and be frustrated a few years in that it is sagging. Are there other options as far as more affordable mattress that has good support and longevity in which a laytex topper could be added?
I would make Prana fix the issue since you paid a lot of money for that mattress. Their warranty should cover those issues. If you do have to start over but on a budget then our Ultimate Hybrid is a great option. It uses 3" of all natural latex over the best pocket coil spring money can buy. Check out the specs here - Ultimate Hybrid- Pocket Coil/Latex Let me know if you have any questions. There are a variety of firmness choices so reach out if you need help choosing.
On your Eco hybrid with pocket coils and latex, there is no actual layer in between the coils and latex for protection other than a thin cover over the coils?
No reason for it, the coils themselves are wrapped in very strong fabric then an additional layer of fabric is over those. Simmons and virtually every other mattress manufacturer has been putting foam directly over the pocket coils for decades.
