Hi sqls,
In case you haven’t read it already … the first place to start is post #1 here. It has the information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible mattress choices in terms of quality and value as well as suitability for your needs and preferences.
Like any brand … Lady Americana is only as good as the quality of all the layers and components inside it. The brand on a mattress means little because any manufacturer can use any materials and components in their mattress as any other manufacturer.Lady Americana though does tend to use higher quality materials than major brands and they are also more open and transparent about the materials they use but getting this information will depend on the willingness of the retailer or manufacturer you are dealing with to find it out for you and then help you understand what it means (and of course you are welcome to post the information here if they are not knowledgeable about mattress materials).
There isn’t a specific Tulsa list on the forum (although there are some Tulsa options included in the Oklahoma list in post #2 here) so I thought I’d do a little research in the area so that people in Tulsa would have a few more options or possibilities that were closer. Make sure when you deal with any manufacturer or retailer though that they are willing and able to disclose the details of the materials in any mattress you are considering. The better ones will also be able to educate you about the differences between the materials. So some of the better options and possibilities in the Tulsa area and the brands they carry that I would focus on (that are more likely to be transparent about their materials) and a few comments about some of them include …
http://www.okmattress.com/ They are an independent factory direct manufacturer who makes a range of very high quality and value mattresses. While they are a “drive” away in Oklahoma City … I have spoken with Jim the owner there many times and like the other members here, He makes some great quality/value mattresses … which of course is why I invited him to be a member of the site. I would certainly give him a phone call to talk with him and if at all possible it would be well worth the drive to Oklahoma city to test his mattresses.
Denver Mattress® - The Easiest Way to Get the Right Mattress Regional manufacturer with outlets in Tulsa, and Springdale. Makes a wide range of mattresses including latex with some good quality/value and are transparent about the materials and components they use.
http://www.mathisbrothers.com/ Tulsa, Oklahoma City, OK. Lady Americana including their Eco comfort line which have an Omalon (polyfoam) base and various foams on top including latex hybrids. They are usually transparent about the materials in their mattresses. I would avoid the other brands they also carry and make some careful value comparisons here.
http://mandmmattress.com/ Tulsa, OK. They have been in business for over 30 years and make a range of one and two sided innerspring mattresses that are very good quality/value for their budget range. They also make truck and RV mattresses and remanufactured mattresses for those that are in the very lowest budget ranges. They would be well worth considering for those that are looking for a more traditional one or two sided mattress in lower budget ranges.
If I come across more that have some good potential I will add them to this list.
Hope this helps.
