Latex mattresses near Burlington, Ontario

Hi Grace878,

I am 5’6" and 145 lbs and my husband is 6’1" and 190 lbs and we are both in our 40s. . I have some hip and shoulder pain from a couple of althletic injuries. He has lower back pain from a previous work injury. It’s not debilitating but is an important factor. Our current mattress does not have a comfort layer to help with pressure points or the support layer for his lumbar region. That will change with the new mattress.

While I can certainly help with “how” to choose … I don’t make specific suggestions or recommendations for either a mattress, manufacturers/retailers, or combinations of materials or components because the first “rule” of mattress shopping is to always remember that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and there are too many unknowns, variables, and personal preferences involved that are unique to each person to use a formula or for anyone to be able to predict or make a specific suggestion or recommendation about which mattress or combination of materials and components or which type of mattress would be the best “match” for you in terms of “comfort” or PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your Personal preferences) or how a mattress will “feel” to you or compare to another mattress based on specs (either yours or a mattress), sleeping positions, health conditions, or “theory at a distance” that can possibly be more reliable than your own careful testing (hopefully using the testing guidelines in step 4 of the tutorial) or your own personal sleeping experience (see mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here).

Even if your current mattress is only a single slab of foam … the top few inches of your mattress would “act” as a comfort layer and the deeper part of your mattress would “act” as the support core even if they aren’t individual layers. For some people a mattress that only has a single slab of foam is all they need. You can also add a topper to a mattress if you need some additional softness and pressure relief.

My husband prefers a queen (usually I would too) but will go with a king if that’s what I need. We just recently purchased bedroom furniture for the first time so giving up the bed frame is a consideration. Our costs would also increase by 1000+ with the models we’re looking at. This would take us to over double our original budget. We’re both in agreement that a good sleep is worth investing in but want to be wise at the same time.

If your husband’s movements are what is keeping you awake then having more space may be helpful but the size of your mattress would be strictly a preference issue that only you can really decide (see post #2 here).
