Need Help! Good deal on pure latex bliss - Nature - or maybe not?

[phoenix]

Hi Jeffblue,

(aren’t the both the PLB Nature and the Sleep EZ Natural both use talalay blends which are also called ‘natural’ talalay instead of 100% natural talalay?)

Yes … they are both blended Talalay latex

I’m not a good negotiator, but i guess being willing to walk gives you the high ground in negotiating, not that this was my intention.

Without realizing it you came across the most effective negotiating method which is finding a mattress that uses the same materials at a lower cost and being willing to walk away from a position of “strength” (see post #6 here about negotiating).

so basically i’m now weighing the following and favoring the first more than the second.

1. Purchase the aforementioned SLEEP EZ 10" NATURAL LATEX MATTRESS in a Queen S-S/M-M/F-F for $1,838 delivered WITH a foundation and pillows. This gives me the ability to fine tune the bed to my liking, easily exchange layers, and the opportunity for a full refund less 90 dollars if for some reason i am completely dissatisfied. this would be a mattress i’ve never laid on obviously but i presume i would find comfortable based on what i laid on at the store and what i liked in the PLB lineup. Mattress would ship out in 48 hours
2. Go back to the store and take them at the $1700 price for the PLB Nature which is supposedly a very good deal. This would be a mattress i have laid on and do like, but possibly did not dedicate enough time to laying on my side in the store. Mattress would arrive in 2-3 weeks (or maybe not at all with all the fires and bankruptcy?)

I think you have a good handle on the pros and cons of each so that you are in a good position to make a final choice (see post #2 here) between “good and good” based on all the objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.

Neither one would be a “mistake” IMO and either way you would be making a better choice than more than 90% of consumers that end up making a “blind” purchase of a mainstream mattress.
