Phoenix,
Thank you for putting together this site and for all the time you devote sharing your knowledge, we sure appreciate it. After researching your site I found a latex mattress sounded like the perfect solution to our sleepless nights, but didn’t think we could afford one until checking out the deals the companies on your membership list offer. I just ordered our first latex bed from Chuck at Dreamfoam bedding yesterday and found him just as personable, helpful and determined to find us a perfect fit as everyone else has said. Plus he made sure we got the bonus pillow for being a member here, a very nice perk by the way.
Thank you, RF
Thank you so much for providing so much information in so much detail. I found this site when searching for information on beds though I wish I found it sooner. I already pulled the trigger on the #bestmattressever (soft) this week which I am yet to receive. I will post on my experience once I get it setup.
As you know I think you made a great quality/value choice and I’m also looking forward to your comments and feedback once you’ve received it and have had the chance to sleep on it.
Thank you for this helpful site!! I’ve been pouring over the info here. It’s a gem of a site for people like me who like to research before I buy.
When dh and I got married 11 yrs ago we bought a name brand pillow top mattress. We lived in an old farmhouse and we bought a queen thinking it would fit up the steep stairs. Nope. Had to go back to the store and buy a full. What a tiny bed! It lasted about 9 yrs (we couldn’t take the back pain anymore). In Dec 2014 I purchased two twin wool futons online and two slatted twin bed frames as I wanted to go more natural. Also if we didn’t like it the kids could have them. Dh just can’t take the mattress firmness and the morning aching body anymore. I actually like a firmer bed than he does. We’re going to give the twins to the kids since they’re needing some moving around/growing out of toddler bed. We’re going to purchase the Sleep On Latex 9" queen medium firmness. I am excited about their quick ship times as I waited for like 5 weeks with the wool futons. I am just trying to decide if I should buy the separate topper now or wait and see if we like the firmness. We’ve never had a latex mattress before and I am excited to have one. We just need to sleep better than we have been and that’s been a while now!
As you know I think you also made a great quality/value choice and I hope you also have the chance to share your comments and feedback once you’ve had the chance to sleep on it.
If I was in your shoes I would sleep on the mattress first to see how you feel about the firmness and then you can use your actual sleeping experience as a reference point to help you decide if you need a topper and if you do on the thickness and firmness that you may need.
This site is amazing! I was 100% sure I wanted a wool mattress but after many hours of reading on the site, we’ve decided on a latex mattress from SleepEZ! So happy to have found them here, and so happy to have learned so much about mattresses and their functions. Thank you for this wealth of information and your constant interaction in the Mattress Forum!
Do I need to ask someone at SleepEZ for the 5% member discount or is their a promo code? We are so excited we are buying tomorrow! Thank you so much!
I’m glad the site could help you … and congratulations on your new mattress
As you know you made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback once you’ve received it and have had the chance to try it out.
I ended up going with Flexus Comfort’s Posture Sense with their 2" latex topper. I live in southern California and I was a little hesitant to buy a mattress that I had never tested off the internet. Flexus is local to me, Henry & James were very helpful, their mattresses seem to provide great value considering the materials they use, and that mattress/topper combo was incredibly comfortable in their showroom. I’ll try to remember to check back in several months with any updates
I’m curious what you ended up deciding on. We’re in exactly the same position - we went to Jordan’s a week ago (wife loved the tempurpedic, I couldn’t stand the cocoon feeling), and we’re off to Spindle this weekend. I really hope this works out because she didn’t like the latex hybrids we tried at Jordan’s.
I doubt that Waygil (Wayne) will see your post because they aren’t subscribed to the topic and their post was from several months ago.
While other people’s comments about the knowledge and service of a particular business can certainly be very helpful … I would always keep in mind that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and I would also be cautious about about using anyone else’s suggestions, experiences or reviews on a specific mattress (either positive or negative) or review sites in general as a reliable source of information or guidance about how you will feel on the same mattress or how suitable or how durable a mattress may be for you. In many if not most cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person or even a larger group of people in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on (even if they are in a similar weight range). In other words … reviews or other people’s experiences in general won’t tell you much if anything about the suitability, quality, durability, or “value” of a mattress for any particular person (see post #13 here).
I’m not sure exactly where you live but subject to first confirming that any retailer or manufacturer on the list that you wish to visit is completely transparent (see this article) and to making sure that any mattress you are considering meets your criteria and the quality/value guidelines here … the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in and around the larger Boston region are listed in post #2 here.
As you probably know I think highly of Spindle and they are one of the members here which means that I believe that they compete well with the best in the industry in terms of their quality, value, service, knowledge, and transparency and if you are considering an all latex mattress they would certainly be well worth including in your research.
