Hi pants,
Foam factory has many websites including Foam By Mail (FBM) and you can see my thoughts about them in post #2 here and post #2 here. As you can see I personally wouldn’t consider them as a good company to do business with and I have little confidence that what you order is what you will receive.
[quote]2. The Ultimate Dreams Latex Mattress by Dreamfoam Bedding –
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051BYHSO/ref...1&smid=APCUWEOU23BHI
Full size is $499 but it only has 3 inches of Talalay Latex foam and no phone number to speak with anyone at that company.[/quote]
Brooklyn Bedding (and Dreamfoam which is their sister company that sells on Amazon) is one of the members of this site which means I consider them to be among the best quality/value in the country. They are easy to talk to (and one of their comfort options is “ask Chuck” where you can talk with him about your choice). Their phone number is listed on Amazon here and on their Dreamfoam Bedding site here.
[quote]1. Aerus Natural Ultra-Luxe 12" Full Size Memory Foam (3" of 4.0 pound density memory foam)
$414.00
This is a basic entry level memory foam mattress with mid quality materials that are lower quality than the basic Dreamfoam gel memory foam mattress here although it has reasonable value. Some of my thoughts about buying from Costco or any big box store are in post #4 here. these types of purchases are always a roll of the dice in terms of buying a mattress that is suitable for your needs and preferences in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) because there is nobody to talk to that has good knowledge or information about their products and how suitable it may be for your for your specific needs and preferences. If you choose the wrong mattress then no matter how good the “value” of the mattress it would have little value to you if you can’t sleep on it. The only good thing about Costco is that at least your financial risk is lower because of their return policy so you can return the mattress and start all over from the beginning again.

$359.99[/quote]
This mattress only uses 3 lb memory foam which is lower quality/density than I would consider even in a low budget mattress (see post #10 here).
Just as a side note … the real “cost” of buying a mattress in the lowest budget ranges that has questionable quality/durability, where you can’t be certain of the quality/durability of what you are buying, or isn’t suitable for your unique needs and preferences, can be much more than just the money you spend in terms of the quality of your sleep and it’s effect on your overall well being when you are awake. You are usually much better off to buy from a source that has the information, knowledge, and experience to help you make the most suitable choices and will provide you with accurate information about their mattresses. in other words … who you buy from can be just as important as what you buy.
