Review of Arizona Premium Mattress Co / mattresses.net

Hi wildflower,

I guess my concern is that I noticed this exact same sensation when I went to the showroom and laid down on their mattresses there. I mentioned it to Greg and he looked at me like I was nuts. He even unzipped the cover so I could see that the mattress edges aren’t rolled down but, I definitely felt the sensation at the showroom and I’m assuming those mattresses are much older and broken in so, I’m concerned if I felt it there, then it’s not something unique to a new mattress.

Latex mattresses don’t typically have “edge support” so if you are used to a mattress with firmer edges then this may account for what you are feeling. Again , it’s usually a matter of getting used to a different sleeping surface. The edges of a mattress will often feel a little softer because the edges compress a little easier than the parts that have material on each side of them.

it felt like his head was hanging back lower than the rest of his body

The “feeling” of having your head lower could be because you are sinking in to the latex differently from the mattress you are used to (your upper body and shoulders may be sinking in more deeply). It could also be because of the pillow you are using which may not have the best thickness to keep your head and neck in the best alignment for your sleeping positions.

If is just a “sensation” that you are not used to … then this would be part of your adjustment period. If it is from the pillow then it would be a matter of making sure you are using the most suitable pillow for your needs and preferences. The pillow thread here has more information and links to some good resources about pillows.
