Hi logicgaming,
I linked this in my previous reply but you were writing your post while I was also writing mine so I’ll include it in this reply as well …
There is more information about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase to fine tune the mattress or the exchange/return options that are available to you).
Both SleepEZ and Brooklyn Bedding are members of this site which means that I think very highly of both of them and I believe that they both compete well with the best in the industry in terms of their quality, value, service, knowledge, and transparency.
The two SleepEZ mattresses you are considering are “all latex” mattresses and the BestMattressEver is a latex/polyfoam hybrid. You can read more about the pros and cons of a polyfoam hybrid vs an all latex mattress in post #2 here.
The choice between different types and blends of latex in any layer of a mattress is more of a preference and a budget choice than a “better/worse” choice. There is more about how Dunlop and Talalay compare in post #7 here.
The SleepEZ mattresses are component mattresses with a zip cover so they have more options to change or customize the comfort and support of the mattress by rearranging or exchanging layers both before and after a purchase. They have a good return policy as well but there is a small cost involved if you are one of the small minority that ends up needing to return the mattress. A component mattress also has the advantage of being able to replace a single layer if one of the layers softens or breaks down before the others (usually the softer top layer) or if your needs and preferences change over time without having to replace the entire mattress.
The BestMattressEver has three different firmness choices and also has a great return policy that allows you to donate or return the mattress if your choice doesn’t turn out to be as suitable as you hoped for without any cost involved. There is also more information about the BestMattressEver in post #2 here in the simplified choice mattress topic.
While I can’t speak to how any mattress will “feel” for someone else in terms of firmness, “comfort”, or PPP because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances … outside of PPP (which is all about how well you will sleep on a mattress) the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is it’s durability and in terms of durability a mattress is only as good as its construction and the quality and durability of the materials inside it (which is all about how long you will sleep well) regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label.
Neither of the SleepEz mattresses or the BestMattressEver have any lower quality materials or weak links in their design that would compromise the durability or useful life of the mattress.
Forum searches on SleepEz and on BestMattressEver or a specific term site search on Best Mattress Ever (you can just click the links) will also bring up many more comments and feedback on the forum about both of them.
There are also some comments about the Helix Sleep mattress in post #2 here of the simplified choice mattress topic and a forum search on helix (you can just click the link) will also bring up a few more comments and feedback about it as well. Their mattress isn’t 100% Dunlop but they do have one layer in their mattress that uses blended Dunlop latex (not 100% natural Dunlop). You can also read more about microcoils in this article and in post #8 here and post #2 here.
Since all of these are online mattresses … when you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed phone conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart and who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the properties and “feel” of the materials they are using (fast or slow response, resilience, firmness etc) 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 or other mattresses you are considering 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 and firmness levels to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences (or to other mattresses that they are familiar with) than anyone else.
Once you have narrowed down your options to a list of finalists that are all choices between “good and good” and none of them have any lower quality materials or “weak links” in their design and if there are no clear winners between them (which is usually a good indication that you have done some very good research) then you are in the fortunate position that any of them would likely be a suitable 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 for different types of materials, 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.
