Hi all,
I found this site when I started to notice all the popular mattress review sites seem to give the same positive reviews, over and over, and then encourage use of their coupon codes. I do think those sites provide some useful information, but I also think they’re geared toward pushing sales.
I’m a 5’9" 150lb male. Have always slept on traditional coil mattresses. Think of myself as a combination sleeper (mostly side and back), I don’t like getting hot. I’ll share the mattress with a smaller partner (5’2 120lb female) also a combination sleeper. I’m a somewhat light sleeper, and do tend to wake up when partner moves around.
I’ve generally written off foam, in large part because the idea of foam just strikes me as a bad idea. I do gather they get warm, and may break down more quickly. When I try them, I don’t really like that “stuck” feeling. The one thing I don’t really know: perhaps a foam mattress would actually be so comfortable that I would no longer roll around so much, in which case the stuck feeling would matter less.
I also value “edge support” so I can use the full area of the mattress.
I’m most closely considering:
WinkBed EcoCloud - 4" talalay latex on coils
Saatva Latex Hybrid - 3" talalay latex on coils
Birch - 2" talalay latex on coils
To my thinking, a talalay latex comfort layer, on coils with a more-supportive coil perimeter, and with generally natural materials like cotton and wool, seems appealing. (However, I do also understand this isn’t the optimal setup to dampen motion from other sleeper.)
Overall, I think my instinct is the WinkBed EcoCloud – simply because my sense is the 4" talalay comfort layer may make it the most comfortable of the lot.
I think all the review sites drove me a bit insane, because everything seems to get a similar good review.
I also gather some here may advise other vendors – for example, perhaps Arizona Mattress Ultimate Hybrid.
Hoping some kind and knowledgeable soul here might help me find the best option. If the WinkBed EcoCloud is a solid choice, my life just became easier.
Many Many Thanks!
