Hi ddpalmer.
Welcome to our Mattress Forum.
Sorry to hear of your surgeries and associated pain.
Can I ask which Posh and Lavish model you purchased? Would you be willing to share your BMI and sleeping position(s) with us as well?
To quote Phoenix from this thread When you’re sleeping better at a hotel, it’s more often than not an indicator that your current mattress is in poor condition, as opposed to the appropriateness for you of the specific mattress you tried at the hotel. Some people certainly do prefer a firmer innerspring product, which is commonly what is found at hotels.
Most hotels purchase mattresses via the contract bedding divisions of mattress companies. These mattresses will tend to be on the firm side, with extra plushness derived from the top-of-bed products the hotels use. These mattresses don’t tend to use higher-quality componentry, as hotels have to change them out quite frequently due to use/abuse.
…It’s possible that your support needs changed upon having surgery. But, since you did have a lumbar surgery and are experiencing pain in that area, it’s also important to follow up with your doctor.
