Hello,
We are looking for a new mattress. I’m so glad I found this forum and have been trying to read-up!
Any recommendations are appreciated. We prefer springs & natural materials (mostly for health/safety vs. environment) and leaning towards the soft/plush side (average weigh, side sleeper with hips and back sleeper) but only have a budget of about $1000. I’m considering the SULTAN HEGGEDAL from Ikea but have heard that it can be rather firm. Looking to drive to Atlanta to test it out. Are there any stores in Atlanta we should visit while we’re there?
Any thoughts on the “natural-ness” that this mattress claims to have? Is it a greenwash or fairly legit?
Incased Pocket spring coil: Steel
Comfort material: 85 % natural/ 15 % synthetic latex, Wool wadding, Natural latex , Coir and natural latex, Polylactide (PLA) fiber wadding
Ticking: 100 % cotton, 52 % cotton, 30 % lyocell, 18 % linen, 73 % cotton, 27 % polyester
Ticking: 100 % cotton
Ticking: 52 % cotton, 30 % lyocell, 18 % linen
I know that $1000 is chump change when trying to buy a mattress but that’s what we’ve got!
Currently have a latex mattress from Ikea several years ago (my first attempt to find a natural mattress) and it feels too firm. My housing limitations restrict the use of a box spring because we can’t get it up the stairs. So I have a platform frame with no box spring. We have a some kind of topper but it’s pointless.
My zip code is 35205 for Birmingham AL but am willing to travel to Nashville or Atlanta.
Am also considering this one: Pure Echo, Latex Enhanced Organic Cotton and Natural Wool Mattress from MyGreenMattress. Anyone have experience with that one?
Thank you.
