My New Mattress

You definitely have to get used to it, especially if you have the adjustable base. For example, I'm used to sleeping on my side, which is hard to do if the bed isn't flat. The flexed positions are much more conducive to sleeping on my back, and I'm still getting used to that.

I didn't get the adjustable base, just the platform with a C2 mattress. On the up-side, it will be REAL easy to move out of my place should I decide to move. The way the doors are set up, things that don't bend become a challenge to get in and out.

We recently got rid of our pillowtop spring mattress and purchased a latex mattress, a Pure Bliss Transfusion model. It normally retails for around $2200. Picked it up at The Dump (a local retailer) for $1100. Quite a deal and we are very pleased with it.

My first impression is that this is way too firm as compared to the pillowtop we owned previously. However both me and my wife are getting outstanding sleep on it. I was curious what the general consensus is regarding memory foam/latex mattresses as compared to spring mattresses, a fad or here to stay?

Honestly, I admit we ended up with latex mostly because of the pricing for this mattress but we like it because it is cool and I have read that latex lasts forever.

I have to ask: Was delivery to the Misty Mountains expensive?

It was very reasonable coming airborne by eagle express.

Every time I lay on my bed, my thought is this is too firm. This seems to be the number one complaint of people sleeping on memory foam/latex mattresses for the first time. But I sleep well and no issues laying on my side- no pressure points. I think I've spent too many years on a pillowtop.

Because I purchased it at the Dump, I would not be surprised if it is a discontinued model, Pure Latex Bliss "Transfusion". On their described plushness scale where 1 is firm and 10 is soft, ours is rated a 6. I hate to see how a 1 feels. We also purchased some Z pillows which are great to sleep on.
If I had it to do over, I would have chosen the next softer model, however considering the quality of sleep I'm getting, it's hard to complain.

It's just being used to springs that compress instantly under your weight. The foam takes a second to compress and feels hard on impact. A little like a water bed I guess. If you are sleeping well I think you made the right choice.

I've had the mattress for a year now and no longer feel that's it's too firm. It's wonderful.
