Looking for Latex in SE PA

[phoenix]

Hi PAFred,

After reading more here about zoning I’ve become a lot more interested in the Cozy Pure mattress. It seems to me that for aligning the spine, zoning (with the middle third of the mattress being firmer) makes a whole lot of sense. Would zoning typically be more beneficial to a back sleeper than a side sleeper (when looking at the averages of course).

A zoning system that is suitable for a particular person can be helpful for any sleeping position but it’s most helpful for more “challenging” situations or body types where for example a mattress may be a good match for you in one sleeping position (say soft enough for side sleeping) but isn’t as good a match for other sleeping positions (say too soft for back sleeping) because it can allow for more flexibility in layering with less risk of alignment issues.

I called Cozy Pure today but the rep I spoke with wasn’t able to give me much insight into how their mattresses compare to the Savvy Rest set up that we liked. She did say that the bottom 6" zoned layer was in the “high 20s to low 30s” range of ILD which to me sounds softer than a Savvy firm+medium base. She did not know the ILD ratings for their 3" comfort layer.

There is more about the different ways that one mattress can “match” another one in post #9 here but unless two mattresses have almost exactly the same design with the same type and blend of latex, the same layer thicknesses and firmness, and a functionally similar cover there really isn’t any way to know how closely two mattresses will approximate each other in “real life” for any particular person outside of your own personal testing or sleeping experience.

“Feel” is also very subjective and I would also be cautious using using a specific mattress as your “target” or reference point because it may not be the best possible match for you in the first place compared to other mattresses that you haven’t tried and you could end up excluding many other mattresses that may be different but could be a better choice in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences). Instead of using a specific mattress as a reference point I would rate every mattress you consider against a common set of criteria (rather than against another mattress) using the testing guidelines in the tutorial post and based on which one is the best “match” for you in terms of PPP and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.

I also haven’t been able to find many reviews of their mattresses. I’m not looking for firmness opinions here, but more general quality, customer satisfaction stories. If Cozy Pure had the history of a company like SleepEZ I might be a bit less hesitant in buying. Is there is anyone on the forum who has had a personal experience with a Cozy Pure mattress?

While I don’t have any personal experience with their mattresses … as you know they are a member here which means that I think highly of them and I believe they compete well with the best in the industry in terms of their quality, value, service, and transparency. I have also had many conversations over the years with Cheryl and I respect her knowledge and guidance and her passion for natural and organic materials and green manufacturing.

Hopefully some of the members here that have purchased a mattress from them will see your post and share their comments about their experience but in the meantime a forum search on Cozy Pure (you can just click the link) will bring up all the comments and feedback in the forum posts that mention them.
