That said, as a side sleeper with bad fibromyalgia I do need more gentle, cushioning than the average sleeper. Will be looking to test out some latex tho just to see how my body likes it.

  • @pal828282

    I've had both and can certainly say that latex is better for me. I'm a tosser/turner and that's very difficult to do on memory foam, and I get hot at night so latex is cooler. I had a heavenly bed with a zip off memory foam topper. It was great at first - but after about 2 1/2 years, it formed a crater (although I turned it often) and became too soft and uncomfortable. It took much effort just to turn over from my back to my side. I took that topper completely off and bought a 3 inch latex topper and it has retained it's shape for over 4 years and sleeps much cooler. Each side of the topper has a different firmness. I love my latex topper! I think I paid about $250 for it (king size) - great investment.

    memory foam reacts to body heat and is more body conforming, latex is more bouncy and sleeps more cool, latex feel motion more than memory and is more expensive. Memory foam is great for side sleepers and more affordable. It does sleep hot and has low mobility. Latex may last longer than memory foam. Bed bugs can live it both of the mattress. I think I will go with latex as I do not like to sleep hot.

  • @loki76
    @loki762 жыл бұрын

    A big problem with memory foam is the longevity. Over time, especially if you're a heavier person. The memory foam sort of loses it's support. It bounces back, but it has lost it's firmness and creates a dent/divot in the shape of your body. So in other spots of the mattress where you might not lay as often, it has way more firmness and it creates this pocket in your bed and you cannot roll over to the other more firm part because it's like an "up-hill" part. So you end up sleeping in the same spot over and over and this is the worst for a side sleeper. Ironically because it's supposed to be the best for side sleeping. But because most of the weight is in a smaller area, that area gets compressed more and as mentioned, over time it loses it's support and now you have this "pocket/divot".. This is why I am going with a Hybrid coil/foam mattress and I am going to choose Latex instead. Much better to retain firmness for sleeping in any position, changing position and likely longer lasting without creating this space/pocket.. Sure if you are a light person, it might not be the same issue. But even then I think over time it just happens. Our all foam memory mattress is now garbage because of it. It's worse to sleep on now.. Best mattress I ever had was just a spring mattress with horizontal springs and just a mattress topper on top of that. Firm, but soft and comfortable in all positions. It also lasted forever, 15 years and still as good as the day first used. I couldn't bring it with me when I moved. I used to sleep on stomach all the time.
