Hi paaschjc,
Thanks for the news that Restopedic now has a website. I’ll change my records.
There’s no factory direct manufacturers in Eastern CT that I’m aware of (the closest east is in MA) which means that the closest to you would be either about 50 miles north or south of you. While I realize that either way it would be quite a drive … in both directions you have several close to each other and IMO the value would likely be worth it. If you do decide to take a trip in either direction … I would of course call first to make sure they have latex or latex hybrid mattresses available for you to test and so you can get a sense of what to expect when you go there.
I also took a quick look for what was near you locally and I’ve listed a few along with the brands they carry that make latex mattresses (although the “value” may not be as good here). When you are looking at local retail outlets … it becomes especially important to make sure that they are willing to provide you with the layer by layer details of any mattresses you are interested in so that you can tell what the “weak link” of the mattress may be, make sure that it really is a “latex” mattress, and make meaningful value comparisons with other mattresses. I’ve also added some options or possibilities for the Hartford area for others that live there as well.
https://www.comfortss.com/ Comfort Sleep Systems. Branford, CT. They are a member here of the site (which means that I think highly of them) and a little bit of a drive but would be an excellent place to visit. Hand-made mattresses using high quality materials, including latex, innersprings and more “natural” choices.

Outside of the larger Connecticut list that I linked earlier … there are also some good options in the post #4 here for the the Springfield, MA area that may also be well worth including in your research.
