So I returned the Optimum and now have the Loom and Leaf relaxed firm. This mattress is great, the surface is really soft to the touch but still on the firm side as you don't sink in too far which makes for a good balance. It also sleeps a lot cooler than the optimum, I'm now sleeping under the covers instead of having my legs kicked out in every fucking direction trying to get air. We got the King for $1400, but beware; the site has a few addons which rack up the price. You could easily get away with just getting the mattress and throwing it on the floor until you get a foundation bed to put it in. I prefer foundation beds vs box springs and a frame, it just looks much better.can we get some updates on how you guys are doing with those new mattresses? thanks.
What kind of base do you have for your mattress? One thing I found that was critical for memory foam mattresses is a completely solid base. No boxspring, no slats-- nothing that in any way that can "give" under the mattress' weight. I bought a Tempur-pedic with a platform bed and it was awful for months until I learnt that it wasn't meant to be put on top of slats. Changed them out for a solid base and it was like I had a totally different mattress-- literally a miraculous change.I've settled into it. Back issues are gone now and it sleeps well. No heat issues and it's comfortable. I don't know if it's the greatest mattress ever but it's definitely a good mattress after it's broken in.
I've heard amazing things online about Purple Mattress, most saying it sleeps different than the Casper but in a good way. I have a Casper but wish I went with a Ghost Bed instead as it sleeps a little softer. I'd say you can't go wrong with Purple, Casper, or Ghost bedAnyone have experience with purple mattresses? Seems to be the new casper and more expensive to boot. Seems like they got a lot more flex in them them then casper or t&n. Totally eyeing it since I am a side sleeper and need that extra flex. But thinking maybe a plain regular mattress may do the job just as well and cheaper.
