Incline Sleep: So Let it Begin

After a more than trivial amount of research, I finally purchased an adjustable base - but not just any adjustable base, one with a very specific feature that it is known for: Full Body Incline.

My research brought me to an organization called Incline Sleep, who also had a very reasonable volume of research on the topic. As someone with both sleep apnea and GERD, and someone with chronic sleeping issues, as well as someone who has been in and out of journalism for 20 years, I felt it was time to pick up the phone and talk to them.

I ended up having quite the conversation with the CEO and founder and his son, and ultimately decided, especially after speaking to my doctor, that it was time to make the move to a stable full body incline.

I bought the Sleep Incline 500 adjustable base (which turns out to be the same product as the Symphony Sleep ES500). The included elevation kit allows for fully body tilt, and it also functions as a traditional adjustable base. It arrived today and I built it. So far very pleased.

Can't wait to spend a couple of weeks on it and report back on how the experience is, and any observable difference it makes.

FloBeds solid latex pillow - anyone own one?

Looking for someone that has owned and used one of the solid latex pillows from FloBeds.

They say that their 7-inch high loft is the right call for almost every side and back sleeper, but that seems very thick to me. Anyone used one and have feedback?

A TPE pillow that makes some bold claims and compares itself directly to Purple.

https://theonyxpillow.com/

I received a media sample to check out. It’s substantially lighter in overall weight than the original Purple (I looked it up as I don’t have one). But this weighs just over 9 pounds fully dressed with both height inserts compared to 11.5 pounds of the original Purple.

Part of that difference is that the Onyx is contoured but the Purple is not. It’s things like this that make me wish I had an original Purple around to compare.

2.5 pounds is a significant weight difference that makes me wonder if it is engineered different than Purple.

It certainly makes me curious. I’m going to try it out tonight.

Curious what anyone’s thoughts are that has owned the original Purple pillow.
