I have researched mattresses ad nauseum and finally came across this site which had a listing for several mattress factories in San Diego. As it turns out, Escondido Mattress Factory made my decision easy. There were only 2 choices – innerspring or 6" Talalay latex with a bamboo covering and REAL boxsprings. The biggest decision was soft, medium, firm or extra firm. We opted for the firm latex Cal King. What a quality product. What a great owner, Randy Taylor. He even threw in 2 latex Queen-sized pillows because we brought a truck and took the mattress with us. We drove 60 miles both ways twice - 240 miles – worth every mile. Randy thanked us several times for our business. I thank you so much for posting the recommendation. We had lived in North County area 30 years ago and remembered that a friend of ours owned a mattress factory. He left this life at a very young age and Randy Taylor is his father – though we had never met, it was nice to connect a bit with our past and I think he enjoyed it as well. We brought our mattress with us and it will be donated to the USMC. I did tell Randy that he was mentioned on this site and he smiled and said, “I know it.” Very enjoyable experience and that bed is so nice that our Rottie took a nap and wouldn’t get off even for a treat! If you live in San Diego – this is the place to go. Thanks again.
Hi Sandigee,
Thanks for taking the time to write such great feedback.
I’m also a big fan of “synchronicity” and I glad you shared that part of your story as well!
As you know … I have talked with and think highly of Randy and the mattresses he makes and you certainly made a good choice.
One of the signs of success with a mattress purchase is when you feel as good about who you purchased from as you do about the mattress and I think your experience qualifies as “highly successful”.
Most of all … congratulations on your new mattress

Hi,
I saw Escondido Mattress Factory mentioned, and I just had to chime in. I too, had a great experience there. I bought a firm innerspring, slept on it one night, and HATED it. It was just way too firm. It felt like I was sleeping on the floor. I called Escondido Mattress in a panic. they came right out and picked it up, and asked me to come in for some more mattress testing.
I have lower back issues, and I finally wound up with a latex firm. What a great mattress! I was surprised at how giving it could be, and still be a firm mattress. They delivered the mattress the same day. After two nights on that mattress, my back pain was greatly diminished. Their service is fantastic.
