Hi Phoenix,
Appreciate your well-thought out response. I’ve read up on and honed in on Brooklyn Bedding after scouring through your recommended list. The robust latex seems appealing.
However, it seems like BB doesn’t ship for free to Canada (at least the BestMattressEver - https://forum.mattressunderground.com/t/factory-direct-mattresses-in-the-toronto-on-and-gta-area) unlike a company like Leesa. Are there any retailers on the recommended list that would ship to Canada free?
On a related note, from what I’ve read (I live in BC which has the HST) this would qualify as importing under the NAFTA and it seems like we get to escape the import duties in favor of the HST. Would this be true?
Lastly, I realize that it’s been repeated that firmness and the resulting comfort is wholly dependent on the person. Still, I’m presented, if I am to go with BB, a choice between medium and firm. I feel like given my large stature and back problems requiring support I should err on the side of the firmer one, given that I can not try these on before making the purchase. Would anyone recommend a different approach to determining the firmness, given our lack of complete information?
Thank you!
