Information overload. Latex, memory foam or standard?
Found a company that makes custom size mattresses. But spoke to 2 different representative who gave me conflicting suggestions. Hoping for opinions on what you sleep on / your experience.
My statistics: bad back and hip and a little bit heavier. I'll never go in an area below 35°. I prefer medium firm.
1) Latex: I've read it's long lasting, good for any claimant, less chances of mildew & some say good for backs. On the other hand, I'm told that the all mattresses are firm and not always good for bad backs
2) Memory Foam: I was told memory foam would freeze and destroy the mattress below temperatures of 50. I've slept on a couple in motel / hotel and they always felt good. I've read that they are good for backs and hips, but you need to get them thicker if you're heavier.
3) Standard: It's been suggested I get a standard mattress and just use a really good topper. This way you spend a lot less for the mattress. If one or the other goes, it's less money to replace it. But I'm worried that it won't be comfortable Because it only comes in a 5.5 inches height. With my current topper, it's 4 in. And it was something I got because I couldn't go mattress shopping at the time - decently comfortable but very narrow.
