Hi redbird,

Assuming you mean post #2 here then it includes the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Frederick, MD area (subject to the guidelines here). It was last edited in August 2014 and was up to date as far as the information I was aware of (I update the forum lists on a regular basis when new information becomes available to me).

Thanks for the heads up … I appreciate it. :slight_smile: They no longer carry any mattresses I would consider and I’ve removed them from the list.

[quote] I am regretting it now because my shoulders and neck are killing me and my husband says he is not liking the mattress either. I’ve gone through tons of different pillows to see if that was the issue and just recently bought a stomach sleeper pillow from Sleepy’s that is working better than the others. We have the Lonset adjustable slatted base from Ikea also.

I am curious with all the latex love on this site how comparable it feels to the Morgedal. Of course when I laid on the Morgedal in the store I loved it :blink:

I think I read somewhere that latex is not conducive to relieving pressure points - don’t know if that was bogus. [/quote]

There are hundreds if not thousands of latex mattresses that are all very different from each other that have very different designs and use different types and blends and different firmness levels of latex. Like any type of mattress or material where there are many options of the same general type or category available to you … some of them may be a good match for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) and some may be completely unsuitable for you to sleep on. In the right firmness level and with the right mattress design … latex can be among the most pressure relieving materials available. It is somewhat similar to polyfoam because it is also a fast response material but in general it tends to be more contouring, elastic, and resilient (springy) than polyfoam. It’s not really possible to make more specific comparisons because there are so many different types of polyfoam and different types and blends of latex that are all different from each other and the most reliable way to know whether you like the “feel” of latex would be based on your own personal testing on a range of different types and firmness levels of latex or latex hybrid mattresses. There is more about latex used in comfort layers here and and in support cores here and some of the pros and cons of latex here and there is more about the many different types and blends of latex in post #6 here.

There is also more about the different ways to choose the most suitable mattress (either locally or online) that can help you identify and minimize the risks involved in each of them in post #2 here.
