I've tried every mattress out there...help!

Hi Jewel,

What do you think about the boxes that are being sold with the PLB mattresses? As you likely read, I was told not to get the PLB box. I was told by a retailer that the boxes PLB uses don’t support the mattress well. I would love your opinion.

You can see some pictures of it here and here. I’ve made quite a few comments about them in the forum but the comments I made here …

The PLB warranty specifies that any suitable foundation is OK and some retailers I know won’t sell the PLB foundation with their mattresses because they are not the best choice for a latex mattress (as strange as it may be that they are selling a foundation that is lower quality than many people … including me … would be comfortable with).

… probably says it best.

I am reconsidering the Restonic Belvedere double-sided mattress that I wrote about previously. It is made by Clare Bedding and I noticed you seem to support their work in some other threads. Any opinion on Clare Bedding ( I am so sorry if I’m spelling their name wrong)?

Clare Bedding has always been helpful and transparent when I’ve talked with them on the phone and I think they are “good people”. This means that your chances are good that a retailer you are dealing with will be able to find out the type and quality of the materials inside one of their mattresses you may be considering (if they don’t already know them) so you can make sure they don’t have any weak links and so you can make more meaningful comparisons with other mattresses.
