Hello coolgod; where exactly did you purchase you’re 10" NATURAL Latex Mattress King split All Natural Talalay cores from? The link appears to have many different sellers.
Sorry for the late reply, been meaning to write a thorough review of the mattress and bed arrangement, its been almost 5 months and I haven’t noticed any off gassing or sag so far. I purchased my Latex mattress from flexus comfort, because I thought they had quality Talalay latex and their overall price was cheapest including shipping to Canada and tax.
I got the 10’’ NATURAL COMFORT LATEX MATTRESS Easter King
TOP LAYER: 3" SOFT TALALAY
SECOND LAYER: 3" SOFT TALALAY - SPLIT
THIRD LAYER: 3" MEDIUM TALALAY - SPLIT
The left over 1" is just the wool and cotton layer outside. The order gave the option to pick 2 gifts, I picked a waterproof mattress protector and 2 king sized latex pillows.
Overall came out to be about 2.1k USD + 13% tax charged at border.
Could not get TMU discount because they said discount doesn’t stack on “promotion price”
They originally quoted me a price including shipping and duties, then later after I placed my order told me they couldn’t deliver to Canada!!! After 2+ weeks it arrived in Niagara and I ended up going alone to pick it up, boy was that an adventure.
Everything came in 3 giant boxes and I managed to fit it all in my impreza hatchback. I was annoyed when I got home and found out that the “MEDIUM TALALAY” and the 2nd layer “SOFT TALALAY” was actually Dunlop! I called them the next day but they said they give me mostly Dunlop because TALALAY doesn’t work well as base. Bait and switch 
Building the mattress was quite a challenge, with a friend I spent 2 hours building the mattress. I later decided the splitside latex can be arranged more symmetrically inside and decided to rebuild it myself. Big mistake, took another 2 hours and got trapped underneath the mattress for a while when trying to lift it on my high bed frame.
Now after all this trouble was is still worth it? Absolutely, it was the most expensive piece of furniture I’ve purchased and it was worth every cent. It is the best thing I’ve ever slept on, my female friends also agree 
Be warned though, it’s so comfortable that if you go for a quick snuggle or just temporarily close your eyes you’ll doze right off.
TLDR: No TMU discount, vendor lied about shipping to Canada, had to pick it up in US after 2 weeks, also pulled bait and switch substituting Dunlop for Talalay. No off-gassing or sag observed, best mattress I’ve ever slept on. Would buy again, but probably from another vender.
I’m also looking for latex mattress in Canada, but closer to Montreal. I’d like to try Dormio but it’s a 7hr drive, so I was wondering if there would be any alternative closer to where I live. Thanks!
Hi John667.
I agree that 7 hours’ drive to Dormio maybe a tad too long of a drive unless you have some other business in or around Toronto, but if you decide to shop online they have a wide variety of mattress types for all budget ranges and I think they ship nationwide for a flat fee.
There are quite a few factory direct mattress manufacturers in and around Montreal (within 100Km) and almost all of them produce latex mattresses as well as every other style and combination . In an ever-changing mattress landscape it would be too much of a job to keep current any listings of potential mattress retailer/manufacturers in various geographic regions (unless they are already approved Trusted Members of our site) but there is a list in post #276 here of a few places to try in and around Montreal (I appended the cities for ease of reference). You have some good choices near you but whatever you test make sure to find out the information you need to make an informed mattress purchase which is listed in this article here and compare it to the mattress shopping guidelines here. Also, a forum search on Montreal (you can just click the link) will also bring up more comments and feedback from other members in the area that may be helpful as well.
Good luck with your testing! I know from my own experience that sometimes the most difficult part is remembering what each mattress felt like and I’d suggest keeping some notes. The good news is that you have lots of options in your area.
If you have any questions about specifications or certain products you discover, feel free to post back on the forum and I or any of the Expert Members of our site will be happy to assist you

Wow thanks ! I’ll take a look at those posts!
Yes I know that Dormio does ship, but they don’t advertise their prices and I can’t test them. I’m not sure about buying online as I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach. I like a bed firm enough that I can lay on it in the day to read or be on computer (I mostly do computer laying down, because of back problems) but soft enough to sleep on the side.
I’ll check those retailer, but from what I have seen so far, having visited some already, is that there isn’t much of a choice for latex and the level of knowledge from retailers isn’t that great.
I’ll keep looking. Thanks!
Hi John667.
You are correct that the least “risky” of all options would be to buy something you know and had tested locally, especially if the retailer/manufacturer is knowledgeable, experienced, and is transparent about the type and quality of all the materials and components in their mattresses and who would be able to provide some good guidance and/or has good options and/or suggestions after a purchase to help you make any “fine tuning adjustments” at a nominal cost if your sleeping experience does not quite match showroom testing.
If you cannot find any high quality and value local options, or if they are too costly compared to a directly comparable mattress from an online manufacturer or retailer … then I would consider going in the direction of buying online with the help and guidance of a manufacturer/retailer that you can trust that has your best interests at heart and will help you make your best choice out of the options that they offer. You’ll find that many manufacturers/retailers that are offering online options are moving away from the “one size fits all” products and are offering component style system designs that can be customized to different degrees and/or usually offer some ability to exchange your choices after a purchase at a reasonable cost if it doesn’t turn out quite right as you hoped for. While this is more “risky” because sometimes smaller changes from your “preferred” design can make a bigger difference than people suspect, this risk can be reduced by having a more detailed conversation with the manufacturer who you are considering. If the price difference and your “personal value equation” justifies it though, it would certainly be worth strong consideration.
In your local testing and when assessing any product, also be sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the quality of the materials and components to the durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.
I look forward to hearing about the results of your local testing and if you narrow down your options to 2-3 choices and can find out the information linked above and post it on the forum then I’d certainly be happy to comment about the quality of the materials

Thank you very much Phoenix, I will check that.
So far most products I like are from the U.S. so I have to consider shipping charges (and many duty fees?), but it may be a good idea anyway.
I’d prefer a reversible mattress, but it’s more and more difficult to find I guess. I have a 17yr old mattress with pocket springs that I reverse monthly and it’s still not that bad. I don’t want to buy a cheap mattress but don’t want to overpay as well.
I really like your site. I wish shopping for a mattress was easier.
Will continue to search for a good mattress and read the info on TMU.
Hi John667,
If you want a reversible latex mattress, we can custom make one for you in organic Dunlop latex using your specifications, plus we ship free from Canada.
Please let me know if I can assist you further,
all the best
It seems interesting… What are the prices of your mattress? I can’t find them on your website.
Hi John667,
For some reasons the carts don’t show up on some browsers for the old version of our website. Our new website will be published in a few weeks however let me give you first access to it by using the link below with the password provided. You will be able to see all our mattress models and the prices. As stated before, I can also make a custom model for you if you supply me with your specifications.

All the best!
Thanks. How easy is it to replace or move around the layers? 4 layers is cool, but somehow it seems a bit more difficult than simply to turn around a mattress because one side is softer than the other.
What is the difference between Presto and Unison. Do theyboth have 4 layers and if so what is difference in comfort? Thanks
Hi John667,
One person can easily re-arrange the layers in the customizable organic Presto up to a Queen size. The king size requires 2 people to move the layers around (unless you get a king split.) This allows each sleeper the option to customize their own side of the bed.
The main difference is that the Presto is customizable while the Unison is not. We always recommend the Presto when buying online because you get 9 comfort and support options in one mattress. The Unison come in 8" firm and 10" medium (see attachements)
UNISON 8"
Firm Mattress is great for
Back Sleepers
Side Sleepers
Stomach sleepers
Firm feel, with some softness
UNISON 10"
Medium Mattress is great for
Back Sleepers
Side Sleepers
Happy in the middle cloud like comfort without sacrificing support

Please let me know if you need any further information.
All the Best!

What I like about my actual mattress is the fact that it’s the same on both side, so I can keep flipping it every month and it’s in good shape.
Let’s say I feel comfortable on 2" soft Dunlop. I wouldn’t be able to flip it to the other side and get the same feeling. I’m mostly interested in durability as I think most beds are very good for the first year or so.
Hi John667,
Yes, we can make a flippable mattress (with a 2" soft dunlop layer on both sides) in the specs you want, please contact me directly for pricing .

I wish I could find 5 layers so it could be symmetrical:
e.g.
Layers:
1- soft
2- medium
3- firm
4- medium
5- soft
I’m not sure how good this would be, but it would allow to flip easily.
Hi John667,
Your wish is my command! :cheer:
We can make your flippable mattress either in HR/HD poly-foam or in organic dunlop latex.
I suggest getting a 4" FIRM core and 2" medium and soft layers that will give you a 12" mattress.
As for the cover you can choose from wool quilted 100% organic coton, or the more economical Tencel fiber

Thanks!
Hi John667,
I wish I stepped in earlier, but now one month later, did you have success in finding the perfect, versatile mattress?
I know how over whelming it can be, especially since there are limited retail options in your area. Dormio has been selling latex mattresses for the last 9 years both locally and across Canada. We have gone as far west as B.C. and as far east as Nova Scotia and are successful in recommending the perfect mattress based on individual needs.
Many of our mattresses are made with multiple layers of latex, in different densities and zipped up inside an Organic cotton cover. Both of these features offer complete control in the over all support and feel of the mattress, which can be altered at any point in time.
Dormio has prices online for both the Legacy and Classic Collection, and would be happy to provide you with some of the other price points should your budget allow.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further information, we would be happy to simplify the experience for you.
Kind Regards!
Thanks… Still looking. I wish I were able to test one of your beds. Would be great if you got a store in Quebec some day.
The breadth of knowledge and information on this site is incredible - thank you so much, unbelievable. It’s a tough tough market to figure out.
I too am about to bite the bullet on a latex mattress, really appreciate this thread, and so many others. I’ll be reading for a while me thinks :))
