Latex mattresses near Burlington, Ontario

Hi Grace878,

At Ideal, a custom queen mattress with an 8", 2.8 lb polyfoam base plus 3" and then 1" Dunlop latex in our choice of firmness with an organic cotton/wool cover would be 2500.

This would be somewhat similar in terms of the design (4" of latex and a polyfoam support core with a cover that includes wool in the quilting) and the durability of the materials to the Dreamstar mattress you were also considering and neither one of them have any lower quality materials that would be a weak link in the mattress relative to more average weight ranges. If you are in a higher weight range (more than the lower 200’s or so) that would sink into the polyfoam support core more deeply then I would give an advantage to the Ideal mattress because of the higher density polyfoam in the base layer.

Of course they could each be quite different in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP and in terms of their ability to customize the design which could also be an important part of the “value” of a mattress purchase.

There is also more about the pros and cons of a polyfoam/latex hybrid vs an all latex mattress in post #2 here.

All latex with the same layering would be 3000.

The Stratus: $2999
3, 3" layers of Dunlop latex (firm, med, soft) plus a 2" layer of extra soft. Each side in customizable in the layering to achieve the right comfort for each person. The removable cover is organic cotton quilted to Organic Wool and Alplaca blend. This is supposed to be good for breathability and temperature regulation.

The Dolce Vita: $2698
6" latex core (med or firm), 2’ medium latex, 2" soft latex, 1" organic wool covered by an organic cotton cover. To customize each side would be an additional $150.

There is more about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).

While I can’t speak to how any specific mattress will “feel” for someone else because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances and you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress … outside of PPP the most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. This is the part of your research that you can’t see or “feel” and assessing the durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new) so I would always make sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the quality/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.

Since all of these mattresses are “all latex” … there would be no lower quality materials or weak links in any of them and assuming that none of them are close to the edge of the comfort/support range that would be too soft for you (see post #2 here) … they would all be closely comparable in terms of durability and the useful life of each of them.

I checked some of the online websites briefly but couldn’t easily find prices. I will do some more research tomorrow but if you have a specific Canadian site that deals in latex at your fingertips, I’d appreciate the link. I’d just like to do a price comparison now that I feel that I could potentially be comfortable purchasing online.

If you are also open to an online purchase then some of the better online options I’m aware of that ship across Canada (which include latex hybrid and all latex mattresses) are listed in post #21 here that may also be worth considering either as a purchase or in terms of making good “value” comparisons.

You are certainly looking at some very good options and once you have narrowed down your options to a list of finalists that are all choices between “good and good” and none of them have any lower quality materials or “weak links” in their design (which they don’t) and if there are no clear winners between them (which is usually a good indication that you have done some good research) then you are in the fortunate position that any of them would likely be a suitable choice and post #2 here can help you make a final choice based on your more detailed phone conversations about each of them, the firmness and suitability of each one, their prices, your preferences for different types of materials and components or different types and blends of latex, the options you have after a purchase to fine tune the mattress or exchange or return the mattress or individual layers and any costs involved, any additional extras that are part of each purchase, and on “informed best judgement” based on all the other objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
