Sedona Sleep

Hi david_a,

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and experience with Sedona Sleep … and congratulations on your new mattress

You certainly made another great quality/value choice (after your BME) and I hope that your second try is a better “match” for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your Personal preferences).

I had previously tried out a Brooklyn Bedding BME in medium but it didn’t work out. I eventually figured out that it didn’t have enough support for me (I’m slightly under 250 lbs and 6’7’‘). I discovered that I needed to replace the flexible wooden slats in my bed with something more stable for a foam mattress (which I have done - 1x4 boards spaced 2.5’’ apart).

It’s good to see that you modified your support system because I think that this was part of the issues you were having with your first mattress.

The topper has a noticeable odor. It doesn’t fill the room, but if you sleep on your stomach you will definitely notice it. I don’t remember the BME mattress have any off-gassing.

It’s normal for latex to have an initial odor but this should dissipate fairly quickly (see post #2 here).

As for the comfort, I’ve only had it for a week so I haven’t come to any final decision yet. It seems a bit too firm so far but I realize this can change. I found out that neither one of my pillows work very well with it so I’m replacing those as well (I have a high-loft and a low-loft pillow for various sleeping positions).

I’m not sure if you are experiencing any symptoms of pain or discomfort on your new mattress or if it just “feels like” it;s a little too firm but as you mentioned there will be a break in and adjustment period with any new mattress (see post #3 here) and your experience can certainly change over the course of the first few weeks. I hope that this mattress will turn out to be a more suitable choice after a few more weeks of sleeping on it but the good news is that you can also exchange the topper for a softer version if you need to.

I’m looking forward to any updates you have the chance to share once you’ve slept on your mattress for a little longer.
