Well, it's been a year. I haven't tried any mods yet like NOS springs though. Another thought is to put the whole rig on Aurios Media Bearings. Of course, just the sound of "Ginko Cloud" sounds restul as well...:)

I'm shopping for a new mattress and came across this from the Simmons site:
"Think about how much you want to spend. Buying a decent mattress is like buying a decent sound system. A higher quality mattress is usually bought at a higher price. However, price isn’t everything. Focus on the models that suit your needs best."
I was initally surprised by any comparison to audio since so many folks think spending a couple of hundred bucks is a bit outrageous. But then I was struck with the succinct advice given. Those last three sentences are great -- just substitute "audio system" for mattress. The only thing missing is a sentence on synergy and environment.
By the way, I'm still surprised by the comparison ;-)

Danlib1: One of the best and simplest things that you can do is to pack the "center aisle" that separates the individual air chambers from each other with foam. What they provide you with simply isn't enough, especially if you weigh more than 100 lbs. Doing this helps to maintain a more consistent amount of support for your back and legs. Otherwise, you'll end up laying across a "gully" that the lack of foam support creates and part of each air mattress as you roll around in bed. If there is a drastic difference between the amounts of air pressure from one side of the bed to the other, you can vary the density of foam in the middle to act as a transition between the two. I think that you'll find that this will help out quite a bit. For the record, i used a bunch of acoustic foam that i had laying around. I would guess that one of those foam mattress covers aka "egg crate foam" rolled up or cut into multiple layered sections might work just as well. You may have to experiment with the quantity and density that you have to use, but believe me, it is worth the effort. Doing this completely changed my thoughts / opinions about the bed. I would start off with more than you think that you need, which may create a slight "hump" in the middle of the bed, as the foam is so soft that it easily crushes under the weight of a human laying on top of it. Speaking of "humps", this also provides a more even and consistent platform when "getting busy" : ) Sean > |
Acoustic foam to make a bed more comfortable! This thread has taken a fun turn. The Simmons site was also a hoot -- Sean, your talents seem endless ;-) Anyone ever try this? http://www.healthyfoundations.com/toppers.html |
Thanks Sean! Tomorrow I'm stuffin' the middle,,and not the way I usually do :)) Ozfly- My Select Discomfort came with the pillowtop, but in my efforts for peace I tried the memoryfoam on top. My mistake was I bought a 3 inch memory foam slab, and it was like sinking into your casket- not much fun (Damn expensive too!). It also made Gettin' Busy far more difficult. If you try a topper, don't go too thick. Man this thread has really meandered around. DK anyone? |
