Hi Alamib,
[quote]In your opinion, if they end up refusing doing this specific configuration, which of the following will be the closest match to her liking of S/F/F?
EXTRA SOFT ; S/M/M
MEDIUM ; M/M/F
Thanks a lot and hopefully looking forward to order by Monday for sure… [/quote]
I would keep in mind that there are no “standard” definitions or consensus of opinions for firmness ratings and different manufacturers can rate their mattresses very differently than others so a mattress that one manufacturer rates as being a specific firmness could be rated differently by another manufacturer. This would be especially true if the combination of layers are different from each other because different layer combinations will have a different “feel” and different “types” of softness/firmness (see post #15 here).
When you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed phone conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart (which would include Spindle) who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the properties and “feel” of the materials they are using (fast or slow response, resilience, firmness etc) and the options they have available that may be the best “match” for you based on the information you provide them, any local testing you have done or mattresses you have slept on and liked or other mattresses you are considering that they are familiar with, and the “averages” of other customers that are similar to you. They will know more about “matching” their specific mattress designs to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences (or to other mattresses that they are familiar with) than anyone else.
