Hi Pete,
We will be replacing an 11 yr-old king size Sealy Posturepedic mattress.
It has developed problematic body impressions.
We loved the "cushion firm" firmness, and want something that feels similar but doesn't indent so easily.
I see you are recommending the Wolf Tulah and Adara, as well as the Greenspring mattresses.
Would you also recommend a latex topper to make either of these last longer?
(If so, I'm definitely thinking of doing the combo with one of the Wolfs since they are less expensive)
Which combo of mattress and topper gets us close to the comfort level of as "cushion firm"?
And I see that latex toppers may take longer to ship than mattresses.
Should I order the topper first, so that we don't dent the mattress all up before the topper arrives?
Or should order the topper first and see how soft it is on the floor and then choose my mattress firmness?
For more context: I am 5'4", 120 lbs, and my partner is 6', 185 lbs.
Both of us are back and side sleepers, sometimes I am on my stomach.
And I had a herniated disc about 18 years ago.
Do you still recommend rotating these mattresses a quarter turn every month?
Thank you so much and hope you are well as can be these days.
Warmly, Leah
Hi Leah,
All mattresses should be rotated on a regular basis. The 1/4 turn work only for king size.
The Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses are more than you need at your sizes.
Based on your email, the best solution is the Wold Adara with a soft latex topper.
The Suite Sleep Organic Latex Topper will ship quickly, as will the mattress.
The latex toppers come in 2” and 3”, soft and medium soft.
The most comfortable is the 3” soft.
And at your sizes, that would be the way to go for maximum surface comfort.
For the sake of reduced body impressions over the years, 2” soft.
For even further reducing body impressions, the 2” medium soft.
However, each step you take with longevity in mind, is a sacrifice in comfort.
The 2" Medium Soft will most closely mimic the Cushion Firm feel you want.
As the years go by, the topper is all you’ll need to replace.
Here are the links to each product.
Both come with free delivery and there’s no sales tax.
Thanks, Pete
VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase its longevity.
We recommend our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.
