I tried the Concerto and though I loved the quality and it being organic, it killed my shoulders to the point I needed PT and it never resolved, so I returned the bed at 100 days.
I’m 5’3”, 114lbs (usually 107-110lbs) and have a ton of spinal issues so need great pressure relief.
Would the Chorus or EOS work? The Concerto was marketed as plush but felt like a brick to me. There was no give at all but I loved the support.
I need a medium support core for spinal alignment but a softer comfort layer for pressure relief. The Concerto had microcoils but I don’t know what firmness.
I think it was more that there was only 2” of comfort material and latex isn’t great for pressure relief for a small person because there’s too much push back.
Curious what your thoughts are.
You couldn't get anything to work? I've been tempted to try the EOS classic but I had such excruiating shoulder pain with the Concerto. By body just can't tolerate latex, it seems.
May not be helpful due to budget but I just purchased a Naturepedic pillowtop hybrid so my wife could have her side medium firm and my side medium soft. Note I paid $1000 on FB Marketplace. Mattress was made 4 months ago and was used in a guest room. I sleep in Airbnbs all the time so it does not bother me. It’s was in like new condition. I also saw all the brand names available on FB marketplace as well.
I’ve had a tuft and needle mattress for about 6 years and liked it. Recently when we moved into our new house, I decided we’d try a Naturepedic mattress (the kind with both coils and latex) and move the Tuft and Needle into the guest room. From what I’ve read, Naturepedic is the only brand (that’s not pure latex and has coils) that is truly non toxic and had the certifications I was looking for like GOTS. Many of the certifications out there, for example CertiPur, are invented by the foam/petroleum industry and there are no actual third party checks on safety.
I didn’t buy Avocado because there have been some concerns that they manufacture in the same facility as (and I think they own) a mainstream polyurethane mattress brand, and there have been reports that the quality of avocado cannot be guaranteed do to mixing of materials, intentional or unintentional idk. Check out the Mamavation blog on mattresses for more info.
Anyways, a few months after sleeping on Naturepedic, we ended up swapping it out with the Tuft and Needle we had put in the guest room. So back on old Tuft and Needle now, despite the less than perfect VOC/Formaldehyde/etc concerns, because Naturepedic just wasn’t comfortable enough. At least now our guests will enjoy purely non toxic sleeping 🥲
In my experience, worth it. I have a serta iseries in my guest room that feels like prison (lad to add a latex topper). Owned a naturpedic latex mattress (expensive) and now a tempurpedic proadapt (expensive) and I sleep like a baby. My only regret is not doing the more expensive luxadapt for the extra pressure relief
