Noob questions: I hope you don't mind.

I visited MYHOME Home Exhibition August 2022 Sunway Pyramid twice over the last weekend. Spent significant time looking/trying many mattresses (Aerofoam, Therapeutic, Lady Americana, Dunlopillo) As expected, I got very different and sometimes conflicting explanations from each supplier.
Roughly, in terms of price, the ranking was Aerofoam (RM2000+) Therapeutic (RM2500+) Lady Americana (RM4k+ and Dunlopillo (RM6k+)

I have a chronic lower back pain from sitting too much (working long hours at the computer - no choice!). Hence, I need a medium-firm mattress.

Different suppliers have different materials:

Coconut fibre (hardest and highest density) - I am using this currently so am used to the hardness

100% latex (very firm) but maybe not so airy?

Latex + Foam + Springs (is there really a difference for 5 zone spring vs 7 zone spring? Or is it just marketing gimmick)


Can anyone (who's not a supplier) give me a honest/open answer on which is best for myself with back pain. Some supplier selling 100% latex will say coconut fibre and spring is no good for back pain. Others selling springs will say 100% latex no good - pening!)

Based on personal research at Home Expo just last Sunday (Sunway Pyramid), Aerofoam/Therapeutic will be within your budget.
