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.

LOL second what GSDgirl said.

LOL to "p.s. Real men never even claim to know what a duvet is."  i'm a girl and i don't know what a duvet really is.  is it just a bed cover?  or a blanket cover.  *is confused*

as for Ambien, i wouldn't go down that route with sleep medication just yet.  i'm always scared of having a hard time quitting sleep medication.  why not try some turkey sandwich, banana, or warm milk before med?  those all have tryptophan in them which causes sleepiness naturally :)

" all I wanted was something nice and soft so I could finally get a good night's sleep"

Spoken like a menopausal woman whose hubby got an online viagra prescripton...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What I ended up with is a ten inch thick (and growing) ........"

Make that a double prescription ....

" what I did today when I plopped down 2 big ones "

Looks like the fellow is finally out of gas....

If all you wanted was a good night's sleep a prescription for Ambien-CR would have been cheaper and a lot more convenient.  You could just throw the pill bottle in your underwear

Sounds like the wrong part of the body may fall asleep using your method.

If all you wanted was a good night's sleep a prescription for Ambien-CR would have been cheaper and a lot more convenient.  You could just throw the pill bottle in your underwear drawer like everyone else. Now, you have this lamentable lamination of lumbar lunacy which you apparently have been losing sleep over.  Next time, when the problem is slumber the answer is chemical.

p.s. Real men never even claim to know what a duvet is.
