As the title says, I’m looking for a mattress recommendation for my situation. I really need a firm, durable, and supportive mattress that is known to help alleviate back pain. After a bit of research, it appears that either a Natural Latex or Tempurpedic mattress are the standard recommendations.
I have access to test both of these mattresses as I live close to an Organic Mattress factory and multiple generic mattress firms. The problem is that while I can lay on these mattresses for 30 mins or more, I’m not able to get a full 7-8 hours of sleep on them and see how I feel.
I’m looking for recommendations from others which may be best for me, or if anyone has similar circumstances or stories and what turned out best for them.
Hello and thank you so much for the inquiry! I’d be happy to help. Based on the information you’ve provided, I would absolutely recommend medium Talalay for your top layer, medium Dunlop for your middle layer, and firm Dunlop for the bottom layer, and this is for a few reasons. Talalay is bouncier and springier and is generally better at contour and pressure relief on your hips and shoulders. Dunlop is denser and firmer and is generally better at support and maintaining proper spinal alignment to help avoid back pain. As such, our most common configuration is Talalay for the top layer and Dunlop for the bottom 2 layers and this helps our customers achieve the right combination of contour/pressure relief and support. Please keep in mind that our initial recommendations have a 90% success rate (we only have a 10% layer exchange rate and a 4% return rate) so there’s a 90% chance that the above recommendation works perfectly for you.
You’re absolutely correct, even if you lay on a mattress for hours in a showroom, you still won’t know if it’s right for you until you actually sleep on it and allow your body time to adjust. Nonetheless, we have such a low return rate because our mattresses are fully and easily adjustable. If you try the recommended set up and find that it’s too soft or you’re still getting back aches, you can unzip the cover and rearrange the layers or request a layer exchange to adjust accordingly and get the mattress fine-tuned for your specific preferences & needs.
