Hi Squirrel,
There isn’t a forum list for the Sault Ste. Marie, ON or Sault Ste. Marie, MI areas (it’s probably one of the few areas in Canada and the US that I hadn’t done any searching) so I spend some time today looking in the area and making a few phone calls. The results of my research and some of the options and possibilities that I would consider (making sure you can find out the specs of any mattress you are considering at any of them) include …
Sault Ste. Marie, ON:
http://spadonis.com/index.php Dreamstar incl a latex hybrid (3" of latex). They told me they would call Dreamstar for specs.
Sault Ste. Marie, MI:
http://northernhos.com/index.htm Restonic Comfort Care incl 2 sided made by Clare Bedding. Will call the factory for specs.
http://www.weirfurniturecenter.com/home.html Also carries Restonic incl 2 sided.
As you can see there are very few good options that are close to you even for “regular” mattresses much less all natural mattresses and most of the mattress stores only carry major brands which I would avoid. You’ve already found the mattress that would be closest to your criteria that I’m aware of that is available in your area.
The closest possibilities in Canada that I’m aware of would be in the Sudbury and North Bay list in post #7 here but you would need to call to make sure they have mattresses that fit your criteria on their floor.
Post #2 here also has some possibilities in the areas from Huntsville/Muskoka south to Toronto but you would need to make a few calls here as well to confirm that they have the types of mattresses you are looking for on their floor.
The closest stores I’m aware of that I know would carry mattresses that match your criteria (100% latex or a mattress with springs and cotton) would be in post #3 here for the NW Michigan/Traverse City area.
If you do decide to look online then some of the better options or possibilities that ship across Canada are listed in post #21 here.
