Another question about Dormeo. Maybe you can help me, Phoenix.
I went to Natural Bed Co (a company you had positive things to say about ~6 months ago, but it was in a transitional period with the owner passing away, and passing the business on to his nephew), and they were closed. Apparently all locations have shut down, so I am without any local retailer of the latex mattresses I was hoping to test drive.
I didn’t want to waste the trip so I stopped at a couple chain stores. Mattress Warehouse had two Dormeo beds in stock that had latex top layers. The “rest bed” (bottom of the latex range, with one layer of their octosprings) and the “bliss bed” (with two layers of octosprings). Dormeo also apparently offers a “luxo bed” with 3 layers, but that one was not in stock. They listed the top layers as, if I remember correctly, 3.5 lb 100% natural latex. It MAY have been 5 lb as I might be getting it confused with something else.
I did quite a bit of searching online for these beds, and couldn’t find much. I asked the salesman about the 5500/6500/8000/etc models, and he said those were last years models, and they’re all gone now. But even Dormeo’s website doesn’t have these new beds.
I laid on both beds for ~15 minutes, and both felt great. I couldn’t test breathability or get a feel for what might happen after 5-6 hours, but they were very comfortable.
I stopped at the Original Mattress factory, and they had what they called a latex bed. The mattress was one solid, bonded piece with a layer of 3-3.25 lb “synthetic blended latex”, a thick layer of poly foam, and another layer of 3-3.25 lb synthetic latex. It was much cheaper, but felt REALLY soft - much too soft for me.
Do you or does anyone know anything about the new Dormeo beds with latex, and why they aren’t even on the website yet?
