Mattresses

Jenny · May 29, 2012

Wondering what type of mattresses everyone is using. Is anyone is using the latex mattresses and what their opinions are of them? We currently have a mattress that is 8 inches thick, 5 of high density foam, and 3 of memory foam. After two years of moving it around it is starting to be a bit uncomfortable, and looking at our options.

Thanks

Mine's a 6-inch standard foam mattress with a 3-inch memory foam topper laid on top. I had the 6-inch foam mattress made for me by a local upholstery place, 30 inches wide, then cut the memory foam to match. I cover it with a sheet and then sleep in (or rather on) a sleeping bag. It's on a permanent bunk so it doesn't get moved around at all. Just slept on.

Ordered my pragma bed the other day, should be at he house this week.Looking for a mattress as well. This one I have, for some reason, has gone limp on me...I mean, soft, I mean, it is not memoryieeee foamy at all anymore.....just like a piece of foam in the warm weather.Now, when it is cold, it is fine.But, the warmer it gets, the worse it gets.Thinking about a regular spring mattress with my Wal-Mart 4" Memory foam topper on it.That one is real nice! Anyone come up with any ideas, please let me know.

That explains the thing on your forehead. I always thought it was a birthmark.

I highly reccomend these people, they have excellent value for the money, can make custom sizes and have truck parking! I have the Visco memory foam type and it is great.

Exit 1 on I65 in Indiana just north of Louisville

I never leave home without a reclining seat and a neck pillow. I have an air mattress as well, but when you're loaded there's no place for the air mattress. That reclining seat has probably saved my life more times than I can count.

I bought a Sealy firm standard twin mattress from Menards for 100 bucks this evening.I figure this, combined with my 4" memory foam topper, should give me the firm support plus the comfort of memory foam.I'll test it out at home.

That is a misconception, we sleep with our freight.

Stay safe KG

Really? I can count on one hand the times the van was loaded to the point I had to sleep in the seat.

I just use a simple camping air mattress works good for me and its pretty comfy. Would like to upgrade one day to a foam
