Hi all, I am new here and am in dire need of help. My wife and I are looking to upgrade our mattress and this will be our first real mattress purchase. We have always had second hand, big box store innerspring mattresses but it’s time for that to change. We have a Queen and are only looking for a mattress.
We have a 1 year old that sleeps with us pretty much every night for at least part of the night so we have been leaning toward an all natural, certified mattress. We live in Canada and those options seem limited here from our research, as we are not prepared to spend too much at this time. We almost pulled the trigger on the Kiwi from My Green Mattress and just have it shipped from the US (in fact we did, but cancelled our ordered as we second guessed ourselves). That one came to just over $1600 Canadian after Shipping and duties and we are not sure how comfortable we are spending that right now. We can. But not sure if we should.
We have also started to considered just going a little cheaper for now and getting an Endy or a Douglas. If it was just me and her we likely would, but we do have some concern for VOCs for the little one.
A brief description of us for those who know what works and doesn’t.
I am 6’0" 195lbs. I am more of a combo sleeper. Typically switch between side and back, sometimes stomach. I do tend to have some aches and pains and am hopeful that a new mattress will help in this regard. I have a history of a bad right shoulder. I am a very sound sleeper. I also snore a bit apparently.
My wife is about 5’7", about 130lbs. She tends to sleep on her back mostly with minimal side sleeping. She is a very light sleeper and often gets frustrated at me for the slightest movements in bed.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated and if you have any further questions that may help don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you!
! Thanks for joining us and for your question.
