First of all, thank you for this wonderful source of Information regarding mattresses. With the information here I was able to be confident in my visits to three mattress stores (is this the right phrase? non-native english speaker here) near me. I am male, 180cm of height and weigh 65 Kilograms. My bed has 120cm of width (this has impact on the pricing). I mostly sleep on my side and sometimes on my back. Currently I frequently am waking up with shoulder pain in the morning (im light and do not sink in enough in my mattress). Furthermore, I radiate alot of heat. As I am from Germany the links will direct you to mostly German websites, if there are any understanding issues I am glad to translate.

Natural and Latex focussed 1-man store. This was the first one I found. I was happy to find it and thought ânice, this will be itâ. Then I noticed some esoterical stuff on their website and was disappointed. Experience was mediocore, the guy did not try to sell me his crystals or anything and did not try to get me to buy on some marketing bs. Also, I did not feel like he took me seriously (probably he thought I was shopping out of my price range due to my young age). There were a https://www.schlafberatung-scholz.de/bielefeld/naturlatex-matratze-silencio/Dunlop Latex Mattress (1679 Euros) we identified for me and a slatted frame (502 Euros). I was not totally satisfied with my the feeling of my shoulders after laying a longer time.

Swiss bedding-system Chain called âHĂźsler Nestâ. They have an amazing system that separates the Core functions of the Mattress in different components. They have their patented Springwood-Frame which is responsible for the support, somewhat thinner Latex mattresses which are responsible for the comfort and a top layer that is for clima regulation and sweat wicking. I was super impressed with it and love the system and the focus on natural materials. For the Frame, a 14cm Tallalay Mattress and a swiss-wool toplayer I would pay 3300 Euros. There was only one person working at the store and I had his full attention for 45 minutes and he confidently answered to all my questions. The talking was mostly about the materials and the durability though, after we identified that I need a softer Mattress.

Local bedding store that works together with an University and a Mattress Company. Also I spotted that they are hiring a physiotherapist for more professional service. The mattress company, Dormabell, uses a mesuring-system to figure out initial settings for their slotted base and a pillow recommendation. After setting the base, a polyfoam mattress was selected for me based on my weight/size and I layed down. In the following hour I had full service by the saleswoman and she checked my spine alignment up to the neck and my hip posture on both sides and on my back. She was thorough, we tested different mattresses and pillows and adjusted the measured settings to our empirical findings. I was super impressed with the service. After I asked for Latex mattresses we checked one of those but I did not lay as good as on the polyfoam-fiberglass one. Overall I would pay 800 Euros for the amazing slatted frame, 1449 Euros for the polyfoam/fiberglass Mattress and 130 euros for the pillow.
That for the experience. And now my struggle: I really love the system of the HĂźsler Nest and the quality of the used materials. I layed quite comfortable on it and there is a lot of adjustability. Longevity is king.
I feel like i had the highest comfort/support on the polyfoam mattress due to the superb adjustability and service.But 1449 Euros for a polyfoam mattress is quite the high price for mediocre materials. I would love to combine the best of these approaches (quality vs. science), but sadly i have to choose one.
I am slightly leaning towards the polyfoam mattress as I probably will have changed enough in 10 years so that I need a new mattress anyway. The foam also is not the cheapest - RG45 converts to 2.8 pound per cubic foot if i calculated correctly.
Do you have any Tipps that may help me with my decision? I Appreciate your help!
