[quote=āscbā post=76488]Iām backā¦
So itās been 52 days by my count since we got our last comfort exchange, and the wife has informed me that the current setup (28ILD code and 28 ILD topper) gives her back pain.
I donāt know what to do at this point. Ken told me that they reset their 60 day āclockā on each exchange, so technically that would mean I could still do another exchange or return, but at this point I feel bad that I keep on doing exchanges, since itās been going on since September.
Iām guessing that a latex core just isnāt for my wife, and that sheād be happier with an innerspring core, so the hybrid pocket coil/latex topper sounds like maybe itās what we need.
But, in order to do that, Iād have to return these latex cores to Ken, see if heād exchange for the combi-zone base, and then swap out our covers since Iād need a cover for an 11-12inch mattress instead of the 10inch cover I currently have. That would leave me with the 28 ild topper, which may be too firm on top of the spring base.
I almost think itād be easier to just return this whole thing and place a new order, though that would cost me moreā¦
I guess I can call Ken and see what he says. I just feel bad at this point, almost like Iām abusing the return policy.[/quote]
I might be able to comment a little on the hybrid option as well as my general consensus on beds in general, which is directed at anyone shopping for a new bed.
After educating myself here and a few other resources, I came to the conclusion to go with the purchase of an āQueen Eco Sleep Hybridā mattress with 3" #28 (medium) topper from Arizona Premium along with their natural wool mattress cover and wood foundation.
Iāve had this ensemble for a little over six months now and I can share my thoughts and experience about the process and outcome, for what itās worth.
First, I must say that the reason for wanting to try latex was because of chronic back problems. However, living in a rural area, I would have to purchase anything (other than conventional innerspring bedding) online.
So, there was the wait which I excepted and therefore no surprise. Then when I did receive the package and began to put everything together, it was very quick and easy. The firmness was surprisingly much like the mattress it replaced (which was an older āSealy Posturepedic Plushā model with box spring set) but the big difference I found was in the better feel or conformity to my body weight. (190 lbs) The perimeter of the mattress did not have any āroll offā due to the coil design so sleeping or sitting on the edge was no different than a conventional inter spring. Over all, this hybrid set has passed the test for PPP and I believe I made a great purchase with comparative little money for quality materials without any regrets.
Now, having said thatā¦ even though this was a step up in all respects to an overall better bed, it has not helped my back issues and this is where I think some people go wrong in thinking that if I just juggle the right combination of materials it will solve all of their sleep problems. Well, Iāve come to the conclusion that while the ārightā bed can be purchased this way and improve oneās sleeping in various degrees; thereās also the misguided premise that thereās a magic bed which exists that can be the solution to stop real physical anatomy problems and then it all becomes unrealistic.
In other words, I did everything right in the research and purchase of a latex bed and I ended up with a quality bed for a good price thus achieving the goal of owning a bed that can help me sleep within the confines of the expectations for the most a bed can achieve for myself in particular.
