Hello Peter,
I have been reading your blog and am really willing to try the latex mattresses.
My husband and I are ages 65 and 55, he has bulging discs & lower back pain as I do too.
As well I am awake with hot flashes through the night. We have been in king size waterbeds since we are married.
They both have been soft side mattresses with two separate bladders.
We need to replace this last one and feel we need to move on from our waterbeds.
I do not know where to start with our mattress hunt.
Do you have a recommendation as to what style/type to take a look at to begin our search.
We are both 5'8" - 170 lbs. side and back sleepers.
It is difficult to say what we like since we've been in the waterbed.
I really do not have a mattress comparison other to say we do not like hard, firm mattresses from traveling.
I saw from the blog the mattress you are currently in, it looks wonderful and the description sounds great however this may not be for us.
Would you have a suggestion for us?
Thanks, Marlene
Hi Marlene,
A latex mattress is a superior product when compared to ANY other type of foam mattress.
And yet, even an all latex mattress can be iffy for people with disc problems.
Stay with an innerspring. My suggestion would be for a Simmons Beautyrest World Class Santorini in luxury firm.
The individually pocketed coils will provide an independent suspension type of support.
It's not unlike your waterbed, in that respect, but much better support, as the coils push upward, against your back.
Add to that, an all natural for additional surface comfort and added longevity to the mattress.
Here are the links to the mattress and the latex topper to use with it.
