Need sleep

Hi Ricool,

We live in New York city, so any options you can offer will be appreciated. We will start testing different types at The Clean Bedroom and at DixieFoam beds, they are both close by.

Both of these have some good quality options and would be well worth a visit. Post #2 here includes the better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the New York area and there is also a more categorized list with more detailed descriptions of some of them in post #7 here.

I do have some experience with latex, when i still lived in Europe i had a box spring with a latex topper, much better then the current bed but not perfect or near perfect (was a Jensen bed, they don’t make the model i had anymore), but i really liked the feel of the latex in the topper. But we will go and try out different combinations of latex and springs, not sure i would go with a foam bed they just don’t seem to last.

If you know you like the feel of latex then it can certainly make a great choice either by itself or as part of a hybrid construction in combination with other materials and components.

I would keep in mind that latex is one of the three main types of “foam” materials (latex foam, memory foam, and polyfoam) and each type of foam has lower quality and less durable versions and higher quality more durable versions. If a mattress uses high quality materials then it will be more durable than lower quality/density versions of the same material. There is more about the many variables that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress relative to each person in post #4 here and the posts it links to.
