Stearns and Foster River View Villa

[phoenix]

Hi Fiddler,

I told him it was the same exact topper as the one they sell but he basically said I was throwing my money away buying online. I was pretty shocked but they have a business to run I guess.

I certainly don’t understand the logic in that when as you are mentioning the material is the same.

We are definitely in the adjustment phase with the new sleep system. My wife thinks it’s like sleeping on a board. I don’t feel that strongly but is is much firmer than the pillowtop Stearns we are replacing.

It may take some time to get used to sleeping on latex because it certainly isn’t as soft as most pillowtops and I can also understand your wife who is lighter feeling it as firmer than you do but it also wouldn’t surprise me if she grew to like it a little more over a few weeks because it has a different kind of softness because of its combination of elasticity and support… Either way as you mentioned there are still lots of options to add some softness if she needs it and you would have a more suitable combination for your higher weight (some softness over a little firmer layer) and she would have the extra softness that she wanted. As you can see from post #2 here this kind of layering is one way to accommodate different needs and preferences between couples.

I hope you have a chance to let us know how things work out over the coming weeks.
