Hi shawnprooney,
Congratulations on your new mattress
As you mention … it is certainly higher quality and better value than most of the choices you would have had at more mainstream outlets. This is actually one of the Ecosleep mattresses that they distribute in the Eastern part of the US. I hope it works and is suitable for your needs and preferences when you have had the chance to sleep on it
I also think you did much better than you would have done by ordering anything at FBM. With a purchase that is as important as a mattress and which can affect our wellbeing for many years … I would not take the risk of ordering questionable or unknown materials from a place that doesn’t disclose the real specs of what they sell. Post #2 here includes some of my thoughts about them and a forum search on FBM will bring up more.
I certainly share this thought about the “mainstream” industry although I’m not sure I would have used the same terms to describe it
There are also many great manufacturers and outlets though that are often “hidden” in the noise of advertising and marketing and for those who take the time there are always better options than most people end up finding out about (which is of course the reason for this website).
Thanks for your comments and feedback.
Phoenix
