Hello,
I’m very glad I found this site. I’m wondering if this mattress is a good value - ie, if we should cancel the order (hasn’t been delivered yet), or if we should be ok. The specs of this mattress are as follows:
King sized, Serta “Forrest Rain” Latex firm matress purchased from RC Willey for $1800 (price includes a 4.5" low profile foundation).
1" Talalay Latex comfort layer
1" Celsion Talalay Latex (supposedly good temperature regulating properties??)
6" Biotex Soy Poly support core
11" total height as I measured it.
Does anyone think the soy poly core will be a problem? We loved the way the bed felt in the store. I can’t stand memory foam, but we love the feel of a firm latex bed. However, the last thing we want are impressions that show up in the first few years that cause hammocking. I have some back issues and I need a pretty flat surface. We are replacing a Simmons Beauty rest that we’ve had for 7 years that developed bad impressions after two years. I hate that mattress with a passion!
I know some of the verndors listed here probably offer better quality, but I’m ok with staying with the Serta if it’s just slightly lower quality and the consensus is we shouldn’t have padding breakdown issues within at least the first 5 years… But if the consensus is the quality is very questionable, I’ll definitely cancel the order right away.
The salesman at RC Willey claims that Serta builds their mattresses with slightly better specs than the matresses Serta sells elsewhwere because they don’t want to loose the RC Willey account… not sure if that’s tru, but I certainly am having a hard time finding a comparable Serta mattress on the web for comparison. I can’t even find a latex matress on Serta’s website. One other thing that strikes me as odd is that the salesman mentioned that Serta is going to start pulling their latex line from the floor…supposedly to push their iComfort series more…
Our budget is $1800 - $2000 and we are pretty much focused on latex mattresses.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated?
The Sleep EZ beds look intriuging Thanks,
