Duo Memory Mattress

I just boutht one - Base is very comfortable but the 4" topper Duo Plus is pure foam - way too soft. I wouldnt' sleep on it one night. They are waiting for me to swap it out for something thinner 2" but I'm worried it's all gonna be too sofrt.

Thoughts on Technogel as in Diamond Mattress - trying to avoid foams and latex (allergic to latex, + sensistive to memory foams and anything in that family, esp close to the top/sleeping surface) while seeking medium plush so a 5 or 4. Had Purple mattress but after 6 years it started to smell. Had a custom-made wool/innerspring mattress but it was too hard. Tried Naturepedic's Chorus but their organic Cotton cover smells like strong perfume. Was told it is the smell of some organic cotton (it is a plant after all) but then found out from their onsite AI bot that all their cotton is covered with a thin coating of polyethylene made from sugarcane Loved their crib. mattresses. Going to contact Custom Comfort and bite the bullet and spend more to get natural. Appreciate any suggestions, thank you!

I got a hybrid from Engineered Sleep. Coils on bottom for the support layer. I asked them to construct a comfort layer of 2” memory foam with 2” latex on top. The memory foam provides good pressure relief and the latex on top prevents the sinking feeling.

I recently replaced a 20 year old tempurpedic with a duo memory plus with adjustable base from engineered sleep. I got the king bed but did the split king base (the sides are coordinated with the remote) to allow for extra weight. (Plus sized sleepers) I did their comfort exchange, swapping out the latex/memory foam topper for another one (2 types of foam that they recommended). The engineered sleep folks are very knowledgeable and helpful if you reach out to them. I am very happy with it.

I suggest checking out engineered sleep. They are super responsive via text and phone and very knowledgeable. They helped me pick the duo memory plus (which comes in 2 parts — coils with sifter and firmer side plus a 2 or 4 inch topper). The bed is design so you can replace the topper without also having to replace the coils. They also offer a comfort exchange if you find you need a different topper and will help you figure out what you really need (I did this). I also have their adjustable base, which I like. I am a plus sized side sleeper.

Check out the duo mattresses from engineered sleep. I have the memory plus (after 20 years of a tempupedic). There is a soft side and a firmer side to the coil base plus a topper (latex and memory foam). When I had the soft side up, I was definitely cradled in the mattress and it felt great. I ended up flipping it (with help—I have a king and it’s heavy) to the firmer side because it was a little too soft for me (plus sized sleeper). The folks there are super helpful and knowledgeable—very responsive to calls/texts. (On the firmer side, the latex had a bit too much pushback for me so they made me a topper with a different foam plus memory foam as a comfort exchange.)

The Big Fig classic is too firm but if you add the microcoil topper, it’s very cozy. Their bases are really solid and can handle extra weight. We have one of those and engineered sleep duo memory plus. If you get an adjustable base that’s not from big fig, make sure to do the weight calculations. For the duo bed in a king, we got 2 xl twin bases to support the weight of the people plus heavy mattress plus our dogs.

Check out Engineered Sleep. They are really responsive and knowledgeable and can help you pick a bed out. I have their Memory Duo plus.

We are plus size sleepers and have the original big fig and I think it’s too firm (side sleeper) but my husband (back sleeper) likes it. We added the microcoil topper and then I thought it was very comfy but it made the bed too high for our dogs to jump on and off (the mattress is on the big fig adjustable base, which is pretty high—they also have a non adjustable base, which looks solid). Also, You might want to talk to the folks at engineered sleep—they are really responsive and helpful and knowledgeable. I really like our memory duo plus (I sleep on the firmer side of the base, which has a softer and a firmer side, with the topper). It’s probably a medium in firmness and it’s made my back and hip pain much less noticeable. I will say it is a very heavy bed so with back problems you would likely need someone to help set it up and help adjust it if you need to flip the base or swap the topper in a comfort exchange. I also have their adjustable base and it’s much lower to the ground (you can choose a leg height). They also have a couple of more standard hybrid options that others have commented on.

We have a big fig, what they are calling the classic now, I think. It’s very firm but so perfectly cozy when you add the microcoil topper. It’s defined for heavy people so I think you’d need the topper to be comfortable. The only issue with the topper was that it slid around a bit snd adds a couple inches, so we took it off —bed was too high for the sofa to jump on. You may want to get their base too—very sturdy! Another suggestion is to talk to the folks at engineered sleep about their duo beds. They come in 2 parts—a coil section that has soft and firm sides plus a 2 or 4 inch topper. That would let you customize the firmness level and feel. We also have a duo memory plus but they have options without memory foam. Super responsive and knowledgeable if you can or text them.

They are not inexpensive but sometimes they have 25 percent off if you sign up for their texts. I would check their website. I like engineered sleep, which can also work for plus sized sleepers. We have one of their duo mattresses but they have more affordable options—look at their today and classic mattresses. If you look into them, I’d call or text them with questions. They are really knowledgeable and helpful and will tell you if they think something will work for you.

We went with Engineered Sleep Duo with a 4" latex topper, because it's designed for separate toppers and we can change it later where the Sleep on Latex the topper is built in. We really liked that because Talalay is softer and may not last as long as the coils do, also changing out the toppers sounds really helpful for my significant other who some months likes the supportive latex but then wants the sinking in feeling like memory foam gives (health stuff). SleepEZ was also a good one to look at but it has shorter coils (6 vs 8) than SOL does

I love our Engineered Sleep duo which is a hybrid pocketed coils and went with the latex 4" topper. It's like sleeping on a cloud, no pressure points, cooler than memory foam and since the topper is separate we can replace it unlike every other sewed in style of topper.  I personally found mattress shopping online so hard because almost all box mattresses are parent owned by 2 companies. Engineered Sleep is owned privately and a local business in North Carolina, using US made coils in texas. Almost every other one is made overseas. Saatva is another option but we didn't like it and it was $9k for about the same thing

for me, avoiding foam was key. that included latex. look at woolroom mattresses or some naturepedic mattresses. i have the eos classic latex free and love it. there is also one byu engineered sleep... duo hybrid that has a lot going on but no foam! engineered sleep makes the woolroom matteresses as i understand. no foam=cooler. no foam=longer lasting.
