Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Futons/Latex Foam
Anyone have any good sources/experiences?
I'm looking for more of a traditional Japanese Futon which are I believe only 2-3" thick as opposed to the 6" or more lumpy American Futon that often doubles as a couch, OR....
Alternatively, I"m also considering a very thin (again 2-3") natural latex foam mattress, sometimes referred to as "toppers". A friend of mine from Brazil says they are used there a lot and I imagine in Europe as well. Apparently much firmer than the thicker 6" latex foam mattresses. High density means an ILD rating of 38 or more.

Rocker, I always appreciate your input, but you all know the expression, "well you made your bed so sleep in it"? Well, that's what I"m gonna do. The sandwich bed is made after some tug of war with the zippered mattress topper cover. And now I'm gonna sleep in it. If it wants to outgass who am I to throw the first stone. I've done some outgassing in my day as well.
Now that you mention it, I remember when they first delivered our bed that smell hit me and I freaked because I am allergic to new carpet fumes. It did go away quickly though and I have had no problems with it at all.
That is, of course, assuming these itchy eyebrows are from the riba.

That smell they mention goes away in a week. Another thing, Temperpedic is more expensive than the Sealy and Serta by 1500.00 and up and the sealy and serta are fine, just find the density that is most comfortable to you and go a bit firmer since the heat of your body or the heat in the house softens them.
Take it from me a furniture and bedding specialist for 20 years. Futons are never really comfortable. They are not made for sleeping every night. The best are latex and memory foam for you back because there are no pressure points.
I love the memory foam but they can get a bit hot as the mold around your body and air flow is limited. Married couples, or when two people sleep together sometimes say they are too hot. The latex also have no pressure points. They are more resilient causing your body to lay more on top of the mattress without the molding around the body. They are not hot. I have both. The latex is more expensive (especially if its from the rubber tree type latex, but they also can make latex which is less expensive).
These foam and latex mattresses are the best. I love my memory foam a bit more than the latex. One you get used to it, you will never turn in your sleep and for sure, you will never go back to a mattress with springs in it. They feel good for the first year but then start to wear out. Both the latex and the memory foam last a really long time and are hypoallergenic. Good luck to whatever you decide.
