Hello,
I’ve been looking for a new bed, and thanks to Phonix, I cancelled my order of a Leesa before it could ship! Good looking out man -
My wife and I are on the heavier side, im about 210 and she’s about 260. I’ve considered Leesa, Casper, Tuft N Needle. Dismissed all of them for one reason or another, looking for something better then Tuft N Needle, and Leesa/Casper seem to be lacking value compared to the other options here. We are looking for a KING size bed, with a 10 Year lifespan or greater.
Im very interested in Brooklyn Bedding, I went to their website and Jacob talked to me for awhile on the instant chat, very helpful person.
Im also considering DreamFoam product line (also from BB). My budget started out at 900$ but I can stretch it to a max of 1500$. Here are the options i’ve been considering, and I’d really like others to chime in with any other options that i’ve missed. I see flobeds are quite popular here, but I don’t see anything in their product line remotely close to my price range.
The Goals:
10+ Year life
King Size
Latex/Hybrid or all latex
Heavy Couple Compatible (210/260 LBS)
Side Sleepers
900-1500$ Budget
The Contenders:
Cotton Camia
Bamboo Bliss
Aloe Alexis
DreamFoam: Ultimate Dreams Natural
DreamFoam: Ultimate Dreams Freedom
What else am I missing? Other options please.
My thoughts on the above.
Cotton Camia : We are heavy, and 1.5LB core seems to eliminate this option for durability.
Bamboo Bliss: Very well made, 2.2 lb core, quality talalay latex, swap comfort easy. Good durability/Value
Aloe Alexis: Pushing the budget, but twice the comfort layers (6" latex!) sounds dreamy, all the qualieis of Bamboo bliss and then some.
Dreamfoam UD Natrual: Great price (810$), Strong core 2.2 LB (an oddity for the dreamfoam lineup), Dunlop latex, would rather have talalay. “only” 3" comfort layer. No comfort changing options.
Dreamfoam Freedom: Oddly priced, 100% latex bed for 1000$? Seems like a great value, questionable support for heavier couple? How does comfort compare to Aloe Alexis? all research says 100% latex is the best you can buy, but there are much more expensive hybrid options, like Aoe Alexis. This is a very confusing product.
Opinions? Advice?
We’ve been sleeping on a 10+ Year old Simmons, it’s actually the best matress we’ve ever owned, I think it was probably a 1200$ retail matress, been pretty happy with it, but the “roll together” is getting worse, and support seems to be fading.
