Hi,
I am 6 ā 185 ā 190. I am in the market for a new mattress.
I had been looking mostly at memory foam because I like the sinking in feeling but not too deep. Maybe in the range of an icomfort inception or Tempurpedic cloud supreme (after it has softened a bitāI tried a floor model that had been on the floor over a year).
While on a chat with Jacob at Brooklyn, he suggested latex. I told him I liked a bit of the sinking in caress memory foam gives but really not so much that I feel I am āinā the mattress, more like I have sunk somewhat into the surface layer. I asked if latex was too bouncy and he said in the lower ILDs it shouldnāt be.
After our chat I tried a latex mattress at Verlo and found it way too bouncy and did not āfeelā much conforming, although the rep said I looked great (in terms of conforming and potential pressure relief). They werenāt able to tell me the ILD but I wondered how less bouncy and more conforming the lower ILDs would be.
Currently I need pressure relief. I have been sleeping on a Bedinabox pacbed original with only 3ā of 3 lb. foam and after 2 years I am sinking down too far to the support layer. This has resulted in pain in both my upper arms as well as in my back and joints,
Jacob suggested the Aloe Alexis but it is out of my price range (unless I absolutely needed it to relieve the paināthen I could maybe swing it but it would be hard. I saw the DreamFoam Ultimate Dreams latex mattress on Amazon and I wonder if I can get away with that.
I am concerned that if the 3ā latex layer is too firm it will be too bouncy and not allow me to sink in at all; and if it is too soft I will sink right down to the support layer.
Is it true that with the proper ILD you can sink in a bit into a latex layer? And also in the lower ILDs that it will not be bouncy?
In order to try to get the most bang for my buck, I was thinking that, if I needed an extra 3ā of latex, I could add a latex topper to Ultimate Dreams for much less money than the Aloe Alexis.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
