Hi songbird2012,
While OMI uses very high quality materials … they are not good value compared to many other mattresses that use these same materials unless a particular individual has a value equation that includes factors that only they offer and they are willing to pay the substantial premium that is involved.
I don’t know the size you are looking at which of course would make a big difference but in general I personally would have a very difficult time justifying these types of prices when so many other choices are available either at a local leveo or online that use the same or very similar materials and construction materials at a substantially lower price.
Of course to make meaningful comparisons you would need to know the details of all the materials and components and add all the other variables about both the place you are buying from and the mattress itself into your “value equation”. some of these variables are included in post #2 here.
Most of the foams used in North America would be considered “safe” by most standards (although not by all standards or for all people). “How safe is safe” is part of what each person needs to decide for themselves. Petrochemical foams such as memory foam and polyfoam have a greater risk of causing issues for a small minority of people or being less desireable to many others than making a choice that is a little higher up in the range of more natural material or organic materials and choices.
This is certainly not close to the best value available IMO … not even for mattresses that use organic or GOTS certified materials much less those that use natural materials that may not be organic or GOTS certified. The list of online manufacturers or retailers that are members here in post #21 here can be a useful “value” reference point and there are many sources of local value in most places in the country which would have similar “value” as well.
While the OMI lineup is unquestionably high quality … I personally wouldn’t put it in the “high value” category.
