I am close to buying the Ultimate Dreams 13, but have a concern about alignment. Everybody seems to say the UD 13 is slightly more firm than the Luxe, but what exactly is meant by more firm? Does firm in this context describe the comfort and plushinessâŚor does it describe the posture of support and alignment so that your hips donât sink as far in?
I have spent extensive time on the Tempurpedic Cloud Luxe and the Cloud Supreme. The Luxe supported me correctly in all sleep positions. The position that was much more different than the Supreme was on my stomach - my hips sank too far down in the Supreme, but on the Luxe, my hips were held up higher and supported. I am wondering if this was a result of the 2" layer of Tempur-HD which is 7lb / cubic ft in the Luxe which might be holding me up better, rather than the 2" layer of Tempur material in the Supreme which is 5lb /cubic ft.
If my theory is correct, I am hesitant to buy the UD 13 because it uses a 2" 5lb / cubic ft layer instead of the 7lb / cubic ft layer that the Luxe uses. Will gel foam have a different compression modulus that will keep my hips held up and supported? I do not weigh much - 6â2" 165, but have very bad hips/spine problems.
This is concerning to me because I can try out the Cloud Luxe, but I canât try the UD 13 before I buy (with its significant differences in construction) and there appears to be no returns.
