Hi Phoenix,
I spent four nights at a Marriott hotel and slept really well. I returned home, slept on my 8 year old Tempurpedic to find that my back instantly was in pain when I woke up. I now realize I had been experiencing pain for some time and it took sleeping on a great bed to open my eyes. Thinking back, quite often I would wake up with my my hips were twisted and my back really sore. I am currently sleeping on the memory foam but have added an inflatable camping mat with towels underneath for support. Really bad, I know! Thankfully, I found your website and have spent hours researching the right mattress. I have learned all about PPP’s, support and comfort layers and appreciate all the information.
I am 5’6", 130 lbs and a side sleeper. My husband is 5"7 and 220. We are both 50 years old. He has a BMI of 34 and sleeps hot (especially with the memory foam). I am considering a 6’’ Dunlop firm mattress with a 2" Talalay medium firm and an additional 3" Talalay comfort layer. I really don’t know if an all latex mattress is a better option than a coil mattress system for support and durability, , but my research on your website has led me that way. I would never have considered latex before because I just didn’t know enough about it. Organic is good, but not a deal breaker. I am looking for high quality materials that will last about 8-10 years. My budget is between $2000- $3000. What are your thoughts?
Also, I don’t know if we need to spend the money on a zoned mattress. I think I am only twisting my hips because my memory foam has seen the end of it’s life. But I sure like the “concept” of different zones.
I was wondering what you personally sleep on!!! Do you have an all latex mattress or one with a coil system? What would you advise your favorite sister to buy? :-). We made the mistake of buying a Sleep Number system in the past and ended up selling it on CL after the return policy ended. We want to make the right purchase the first time (I know, it might be unrealistic). My husband went to Soaring heart today in Bellevue which has some beautiful beds. However, they might be out of our price range. We need to make a decision soon so both of us can be comfortable.
Thank you for your time. Any help would be appreciated!!
