Hoping to get some recs from everyone given how much there is to consider with mattress shopping. Our stats first:
-
Me: 5’9", 155lbs, 75% side sleeper, 25% back sleeper
-
GF: 5’6", 135lbs, 50% side sleeper, 50% stomach sleeper
What we’re looking for: Queen, cooling, edge support, motion isolation, < $1200 USD.
She’s a very hot sleeper and wakes up hours before me for her job, so motion isolation would be nice. The edge support is because we both tend to sleep towards the edge of the mattress. Our current mattress is a Casper, but I’m not sure which one since I got it in 2019. Our biggest issue is that it’s really hot, and we will often have shoulder pain in the morning from sleeping on our sides.
We’ve considered going with an original mattress factory queen + box spring + 3" latex topper to get good cooling, longevity, and to keep the spending down. I’ve also considered the DLX mattress. A lot of the other mattresses from places like Saatva, Helix, etc. were all out of our budget, and had conflicting reviews. Some guidance would be super appreciated, thank you!
