Hello, so happy to hear about your website!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I am so grateful, as I am in desperate need of some organic mattress recommendations please!!! Currently, we have a queen size, “toxic” foam kind, which feels wonderful, except for the fact that we recently learned how bad these toxic ones are. I am looking for one that is as “TRUE ORGANIC” as possible (95% materials, correct?), with the 3 main certifications: GOTS, GOLS, and Oeko -Tex Standard 100. Not sure what kind of “firmness” needed, and/or best organic materials. Plus and minuses of each, including/not limited to cotton, wool, horse hair, seagrass, and/or any other natural organic materials…
Wish my husband and I could just drive (here in Florida), and try out a few, versus ordering it online…a bit scary, especially with these being so heavy (over 150-200 lbs. & some not easy to put together), as well as expensive! So, once again, a huge: Thank You for helping us, the consumers!! Naturally, when you contact any of these organic mattress companies, theirs is the best! This is why last night I invested in the C.R. subscription, which turned out not to be helpful in this matter… very disappointed. I was full of hope, and already making plans on purchasing one of their top rated ones, right away!
I am 56 yrs. old, HGT: 5-04, and weigh 147 lbs. I suffer of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, plus I have no thyroid gland (some days sluggish and always feeling way too hot - so perhaps not a good idea to even consider getingt a latex mattress from what I hear/have read). I am a side sleeper and prefer to lay down on my right shoulder, due to constant pain on my left shoulder- muscle spasms apparently- bursitis for about 18 plus yrs.). Therefore, I try to stretch arm as far possible as I can when I lay down. It literally feels as if someone is pulling on a very short length rubber band that is not meant to be stretched out at all. In addition, I have a lot of allergies, among them: wool (sweaters) and latex (band aides). Additionally I have three herniated disks on my neck area, as well as osteoarthritis.
My husband is ten years older, HGT: 5-11, and weighs 184. He has issues with his back (God bless him, as he never complains!!), and he is both a back/side sleeper (prefers to lay down on his left shoulder). I would also appreciate if you could please explain why most organic mattresses are so heavy (150-200 lbs. or more)? I would like to get a King size, but not sure if it would be best to have one plain mattress or 2 separate parts? An adjustable bed sounds great but don’t know if we can afford it. I am an elementary school teacher…therefore, on a teacher salary…
1st time on a forum, sorry if I’ve bored anyone!
GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE!
Healthy sleep to everyone! Zzzzz!!
