Looking for Local Latex Options in the DC Metro Area

[phoenix]

Hi HockeyGoalie29,

I’m looking for a 100% natural latex mattress, and am located in the DC Metro area (20732 to be exact, Southern MD).

The better options or possibilities i’m aware of in the Washington, DC area (subject to making sure that any mattress you are considering meets your criteria and the quality/value guidelines here) are listed in post #2 here.

You certainly have many local options that carry latex mattresses but many of them aren’t in the best value range so I would make some careful value comparisons.

I do know there are a couple Savvy Rest stores within driving distance we could visit as a last resort, but even though I’m fully expecting to have to pay 2-3k for a natural latex mattress, I’m not prepared to meet their 4k+ price tag. If it came down to it, I’d buy what I feel is a very similar quality product from the online retailers (like FSF) for a fraction of the Savvy Rest price.

There are many other forum members that have done the same thing. There is a list of online sources for component latex mattresses in post #3 here and many of them carry mattresses that can be configured to be very similar to the Savvy Rest mattresses.

While your own careful testing or personal experience is the most reliable way to know whether any mattress is a good “match” for you in terms of comfort and PPP or how closely it “matches” another mattress … when you can’t test a mattress in person then the most reliable source of guidance is always a more detailed phone conversation with a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or manufacturer that has your best interests at heart and who can help “talk you through” the specifics of their mattresses and the properties and “feel” of the materials they are using (fast or slow response, resilience, firmness etc) and the options they have available that may be the best “match” for you based on the information you provide them, any local testing you have done or mattresses you have slept on and liked or other mattresses you are considering that they are familiar with, and the “averages” of other customers that are similar to you. They will know more about “matching” their specific mattress designs and firmness levels to different body types, sleeping positions, and preferences (or to other mattresses that they are familiar with such as Savvy Rest) than anyone else.
