I’m with you on this 100%. Had a latex mattress for four years and loved it. Adopted a barely-used memory foam mattress from a friend when I moved out west and now I’m struggling with thoracic kyphosis and neck pain. I have a large frame and have been bodybuilding for almost a decade, so I really need a mattress that pushes back. Saving up for my next latex mattress but maybe I should build my own?

FWIW I went with a pure latex mattress. Nothing super fancy, I think around $700 out the door. I just made sure it was free of specific chemicals that I can’t remember offhand but research said might be important.

No need to buy layers and such I say go full latex.

Huh. My mattress made me sore until I resumed (after a decade hiatus) lifting weights. I used to use all sorts of weird pillow designs, a special one for my knees, another for my upper arm, etc. Then I just stopped needing that stuff.
