I've been researching mattresses for the past few months and I'm having a ton of decision paralysis. I've decided to buy a king size latex mattress. I need help narrowing it down from there.
I'm a 30 year old male, 225 lbs, 5'10''. I sleep by myself although my boyfriend may be moving in with me. He's about the same height and 160lbs. Over the past year I've lost 125 pounds. I used to be 330-350. I'm still losing a ton of weight and my goal weight is 165lbs. I'm mostly a side and stomach sleeper. I've preferred softer mattresses in the past.
I'm looking for a king sized mattress. I'm moving away from a 12 year old worn out pillowtop innerspring mattress that is now causing me lower back pains (and if I sleep on my side the arm I sleep on falls asleep). Unfortunately there are no local mattress stores here that carry a full latex mattress, only ones that have a 3'' core, so whatever I buy online needs to have a good return policy.
What would be a good latex softness/firmness/ILD number for me? Just to give people an idea, even though it's memory foam, I tried out Tempur-Pedic mattresses. I've tried following the suggested tips for mattress testing as possible. I want to say that the Tempur-Pedic Cloud Luxe Breeze was the most comfortable in-store. The others put pressure points on my rib cage when stomach sleeping or shoulders when side sleeping. It was hard for me to test though as the freaking salesman and his manager wouldn't give me five damn minutes alone. They kept bothering me even though I asked for some time to test out the mattress. Of course they didn't get a sale as I hated their high pressure sales tactics. I know firmer is better for any sort of back pain. Knowing that experience though which ILD and combination of latex layers may work out good? I feel a bit overwhelmed in picking out a latex mattress. Also, what sort of thickness? At least 9''?
As far as budget goes the absolute max I can spend is $3k, although ideally I would love to spend under $1.5k. What are your suggestions?
Thanks!
