Hi Redhummingbird,
As I mentioned in my previous replies in your other topic here … your experience is almost unheard of and it would have been interesting to see some pictures of your support system and the individual layers in your mattress to help identify the cause of the issues you were having.
[color=#0000ff]Funny, I find it as unheard of that you haven’t heard of this given your knowledge of the mattress industry. Just because it’s almost unheard of doesn’t mean my experience wasn’t valid. You’ve never heard of a customer falling for a good marketing scheme or about bad batches of latex or mattress companies stating they are selling organic latex when in actuality it’s synthetic?
I’m actually a Dr. but had to give up my practice due to a mini stroke. Thus my cognitive abilities are challenged. Frankly I find the information on this site to be overwhelming and a tad bit slanted toward the retailers who are paying membership dues to be part of this this site. With the cognitive challenges I’m not able to remember and absorb everything nor am I as articulate as I used to be.

There is more about edge support in innerspring mattresses in post #2 here and for foam mattresses in post #33 here and for latex mattresses in post #3 here but once again the only way to know for certain whether the edges of any specific mattress will be “supportive enough” for you and your body type and sleeping style will be based on your own personal experience.
I appreciate the links and will do more research and reading. Thank you.
