So this thread was started about Brooklyn Bedding on on Amazon. Since they now use the Dreamfoam name on Amazon, and since both are recommended by this site, I hope that comments about Dreamfoam are appropriate here.
I have been looking closely at the 10" Dreamfoam hybrid on Amazon (they call it a “Latex Mattress” but it’s a 3" latex layer with polyfoam above and below). I spent some time reading reviews this evening, sorted by most recent, trying to find reviews from people who have owned the bed for a while. I’m concerned that several people are saying the mattress breaks down in 8-18 months:
From best mattress ever to absolute worse in less than a year September 8, 2013
Started out great… August 5, 2013
started out a good bed, but quickly diminished August 4, 2013
DO NOT PURCHASE HOT “7th Level Of Hell Bed” July 17, 2013
Several reviews mention a middle “hill” developing. The sagging described in last review could have been written about my Sealy that failed in 18 months. So far, Dreamfoam has only responded to the last review.
Obviously individual circumstances vary, but I do get concerned when I see a pattern. The problem with the glowing mattress reviews on any site is that they are mostly from new owners, but the whole point of researching here is to find a reasonably-priced mattress that will last years, not months. I’m beginning to wonder if that is possible.
