Hi Scrappy,
I’m assuming that you are comparing the organic Dunlop latex mattress here at Arizona Premium with the Organic Comfort line of mattresses here at Cozy Pure.
The link in my previous reply includes more about the three most important parts of the value of a mattress purchase that can help you make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses.
The most important part of the value of any mattress purchase is PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) which is all about how well you will sleep on a mattress.
When you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart (which would include both of them) and who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the options they have available that may be the best “match” for you based on the information you provide them, any local testing you have done or mattresses you have slept on and liked that they are familiar with, and the “averages” of other customers that are similar to you. They will know more about “matching” their specific mattress designs to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences or even to other mattresses that they are familiar with than anyone else.
Some of the design differences between them includes …
ARIZONA PREMIUM:
You have the choice of three different firmness levels in the 6" support core (soft, medium, and firm) and the comfort layer is a soft 2" organic Dunlop layer. The support core is a monozone layer. The cover is organic cotton quilted to wool. I’m not sure if the wool quilting is on one or both sides of the mattress (you will need to check with them when you talk with them on the phone).
Cozy Pure:
All their Organic Comfort Zone mattress use a 5 zoned organic Dunlop support core instead of a unizone support core and then you have the option of building different layers on top of it depending on the mattress and comfort level that you choose. Their 7" mattress includes just the 6" 5 zoned core, their 9" mattress includes a 2" comfort layer of convoluted organic Dunlop, their 10" mattress includes a 3" layer of soft, medium, or firm organic Dunlop, and then their 12" mattress includes the both the 3" layer and the 2" convoluted Dunlop layer. Their cover is organic cotton quilted to wool and is quilted on both sides of the mattress. Their body zone cover is also zoned in different areas of the sleeping surface as well.
Outside of PPP, the next most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. In this case since both of them are using the same organic Dunlop materials they would be very closely comparable in terms of durability.
Finally the last part of the “value” of a mattress purchase is all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you including the cost of each of them, the options you have available after a purchase, any additional benefits that comes with the mattress purchase, and of course the price of the mattress.
Arizona Premium charges extra for shipping while shipping is included in the Cozy Pure price so overall with shipping included Arizona Premium would be a slightly lower cost (if you are comparing the 8" mattress with the 8" mattress) while Cozy Pure has more custom layering options available in their mattress designs and includes some more specialized components (the zoned support core, the body zone cover and quilting, and the convoluted 2" comfort layer).
They each have different options available after a purchase as well so I would make sure you also talk with them about the customization options that are available to you after a purchase in your phone conversations with each of them.
They also each have different additional benefits or “bonuses” that come with a mattress purchase as well so I would also make sure you talk with them about these in your phone conversations as well.
Overall you are looking at two great quality/value options that are both members of the site which means I believe that they both compete well with the best in the industry in terms of their quality, value, service, and transparency.
When you are down to finalists that are all choices between “good and good” (which you are) and none of them have any lower quality materials or “weak links” in their design (which they don’t) and if there are no clear winners between them then you are in the fortunate position that either of them would likely be a good choice and post #2 here can help you make a final choice based on your local testing or mattresses you have slept well on, your more detailed conversations with each of them, your confidence about PPP and the suitability of each one, their prices, your preferences, the options you have after a purchase to fine tune the mattress or exchange or return the mattress or individual layers, any additional extras that are part of each purchase, and on “informed best judgement” based on all the other objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
