So long, i can’t recall my old login, and now have 2 tweens. I originally found this forum 13 years and 60lbs ago, searching for the best mattress known to man (that I could afford with my first kid on the way), which lead to me buying a rocky mountain mattress (which i loved for maybe 8-10 years) but i wasn’t impressed with the longevity.
After reading through the threads, I’m leaning towards a flo-bed, but I’m curious how long latex holds up vs memory foam? Another recommendation I took over the years, was for pillows and I bought a bag of shredded latex based on a review Phoenix did. With that being said, I have reflux, which resulted in a weird/acrid smell from the pillow and raises the question, does ALL latex retain the smell or anything it comes in contact with, potentially amplifying it?
If latex holds up better than memory foam, but will be unsleepable if I sweat or drool or simply spill something on it, I’d be super bummed having spent $5-$6k. I suppose I could buy a waterproof cover, but curious nonetheless.
The next point is, I’ve gotten fat(ter) and I’m working on fixing that, which makes the flo-bed more appealing with the “goldilocks guarantee”. That being said, I’m curious if their site recommendations based on weight have worked well for folks, or if there’s a better direction to go altogether?
I’m currently:
6’0
275
Male
and have a target weight of 195 but 215 seems more realistic. I’m hoping the reflux resolves itself with the weight loss, but I’ve always been pretty drooly, so if anyone has recommendations for a 6’0 drooly fatso looking to drop 60lbs by winter, I’d love to hear them!
