Hello.
I’m in the Orange County, CA area, and can’t for physical purposes travel to LA to check out which would undoubtedly be many other options for me.
I’m 5’6 120 pounds, I live with chronic pain in my entire body, from an accident. I’m currently sleeping on a 7 year old Room and Board Latex mattress which would have lasted longer if I didn’t spend so much more time that sleeping in it. Whatever I get next I really can’t afford to get wrong. I like firmer mattress which seem nearly non existent since everyone wants this princess cloud sleeping thing with comfort layers now, It’s ridiculous. (no offense to anyone out there who loves these, But If I have to physically roll myself out because I can’t sit in it, no good.)
I don’t really want another straight up latex bed for fear in 7 years and 3+ grand later I’m right back where I am now. I’m not into a in a box mattress (i.e. casper, etc.), any kind of memory foam or foam mattress. And I’ve kind of heard sterns, simmons etc. Big box mattresses are all crap these days and are currently enjoying a large class action suite.
I like the idea of a latex hybrid deal, but hate the idea of buying a sight unseen, over the internet deal, because it’ll probably still be too pillow topped and squishy and I’ll probably spend more money having it shipped back.
I like the idea of charles p rogers, power core estate or power core nano’s but I have no way of testing it in person. I just ruled out Naturepedic because they’re using dunlop latex and the mattresses have no reinforced sides (that’s going to run into problems right there).
Near me as mattress manufactures are Newport Bedding co, and Custom Comfort Mattress (who I know are cutting corners because I’ve been watching my parents have to keep having their latex mattress fixed over and over the last 2 years, but I will give them credit, they have replaced it once after the first year, and just after the second year stripped it down to try to make it right.)
I’ve heard Aireloom’s are still decently made. I’m willing to spend whatever to get this right. I just want to find something worth wile made of at least, decent coil, wool, cotton and talalay latex hopefully.
Without foam garbage, Dunlop (because I know it just wont t hold up as well, and cooling gel (so scary).
I ran through bloomingdales high end stuff today and was disappointed to find 8k mattresses with egg carton and upholstery foam inside them. (Otherwise they would have been totally fine mattresses, I mean what the hell?)
Any other companies companies anyone can put on my radar?
Thanks guys!
