Latex mattress Columbus, GA

[phoenix]

Hi leghw2,

I also read a post (several in fact) where you mentioned a local manufacturer in Pelham, AL called Royal Bedding. I really liked the idea of a double-sided mattress, but they are almost 3 hrs away and don’t offer shipping. I think I could convince my husband to make one trip there… but I don’t know about a second trip just to pick up the mattress (not to mention the difficulty of transporting a king size mattress plus foundation back home). Do you happen to know of any quality manufacturers that are closer to Columbus, GA?

Unfortunately there are no factory direct manufacturers in the immediate area of Columbus, GA. The closest are about 70 - 80 miles away and are in the Atlanta/Macon list in post #2 here (which I know you’ve seen but included for the benefit of others who may read this).

As you also know, I think very highly of Tom at Royal Bedding but it is a long drive away and the logistics may be difficult. I’ll leave that part up to you and Tom to see what may be possible

I did take a look throughout the day to see what may be available in Columbus that you could test some latex mattresses. I’ve included the brands they carry that make latex or latex hybrid models (as well as other types of mattresses of course) or may have better than average value but they will require a few calls to make sure about what they have on their floor and find out how open and transparent they are about the materials in their mattresses (so you know what you are lying on).

These may give you some local possibilities at least for testing purposes that may help provide a guideline if you do decide to go in an online direction.

There is also a list in post #21 here (which you may also have seen) of the members of this site that specialize in online (or on the phone) sales and many of these also make or sell latex mattresses. They are well worth talking to if you are comfortable with an online purchase. Many of these also offer different types of exchange options if you need to make changes to your mattress after a purchase.

Hope this helps
