Mattress Help - Latex vs. Latex Hybrid and Adjustable Bed Foundations

[phoenix]

Hi CooperCanfield,

Anything look good/bad?

The materials are all good quality and there aren’t any obvious weak links in the mattress.

We tried the Nature’s Cloud Euro Top Latex (all latex - no polyfoam encasement) and it felt way too soft and nonsupportive. It has the same density latex in each layer, so I was very surprised at how much of a difference the foam encasement made as far as feeling sturdy. Does this sound typical?

While foam edge support isn’t the norm or normally necessary with a latex mattresses (see post #2 here) for some people who sleep on the very outside edge of their mattress or who prefer a firmer edge for sitting or getting in and out of bed they can certainly be a preference. Edge support could make a bigger difference for some people with a softer support core (such as the 24-26 ILD support core in this mattress) and/or higher weights.

Your own testing and experience is always the most reliable way to assess any mattress for PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences).
