SDR's Profile

We definitely agree about the latex mattress. Across many months, we checked out every type of mattress. The Sleep Number felt like an air bed and that's what it really is, right? We have family who rave about the Tempurpedic but just don't understand the appeal, especially considering the price. With the Tempurpedic, it's very hard until it warms up.

We wrote up our journey in a blog post called The Joy of a Latex Mattress for an Aching Back and hope it will be helpful for others. Thanks as well for your article! If you go with a local shop, you can probably get the mattress for even less. Maybe about $1,500 for the queen mattress (not the set).

In the end, we felt that the latex mattress was the best balance of comfort and price. This can be easily seen by going to a store that has both innerspring and latex mattresses and going back and forth. Most likely you'll agree that the lack of springs make for a much different feeling.
