Quick Technical Question About An HR Foam Topper

[phoenix]

Hi mg517,

Thanks for taking the time to share an update even though you still haven’t reached your “ideal” yet.

I guess I’m thinking I’ve been shopping in the wrong price range all along, and that while I can get good quality for the range in which I’ve been paying, the kind of things I can get in my area in the low-mid range just aren’t going to work for me (or be from companies to avoid). Maybe it’s silly to be thinking about another mattress purchase, and I’ve bought many over the past 4 years!, but I just end up spending equivalent piles of money on toppers, so why not?

Anyway, I don’t know if I have a specific question right now, maybe I’m just venting or organizing my thoughts… I’m definitely doing better than last year, but it’s still very much an uphill battle.

The price range of a mattress has very little to do with whether a specific mattress design or combination of materials will be a good “match” for you in terms of PPP and in many cases isn’t even a reflection of the cost of the materials inside it. You can see my comments about some of the more “ultra premium” mattresses in the first part of post #2 here and some of the other posts it links to.

Various zoning systems can also be very useful and worth considering for people who have more challenging circumstances or sensitivities, body types that are more difficult to “match” to a mattress, or who have a history of having more difficulty in finding a mattress that works well for them. There is more about zoning in this article and in post #11 here.
