Narrowed Down to 3 Choices

Hi Maxxpower,

My only other concern is that while this PLUSH mattress provided good PPP now, how much will it change in the next 6 months and will I regret not getting the medium which also felt good but slightly firm when laying on the side.

I am hoping that because of the premium construction of this mattress, the comfort layer would not "settle causing spinal misalignment as this is a relatively soft mattress.

In your experience, do many people regret going too soft or too firm with a full latex mattress?

There will be an initial break in and adjustment period with any new mattress over the course of the first 30 - 90 days or so (see post #3 here) but this will be less with higher quality and more durable materials than it will for lower quality materials. I would also keep in mind that most floor models have already been broken in to some degree so a new mattress may be a little firmer than the floor model until it breaks in as well.

I don’t know of any statistics about how many people choose a mattress that is too soft or too firm but most people would probably regret either one even though they produce different “symptoms” (too firm generally leads to pressure relief issues and too soft generally leads to alignment issues). There are some comments in post #13 here that would be relevant to your question as well because it would depend on the person.

Having said that … choosing a mattress that is too soft (or even “on the edge” of being too soft … see post #2 here) would generally be more risky than choosing a mattress that is too firm because you can always soften up a mattress that is too firm by adding a softer topper but it’s much more difficult to firm up a mattress that is too soft without removing and replacing either the comfort layers that are too thick/soft or the support core that is too soft.
