Hi BellaGirl,

A mattress is only as good as its construction and the materials and components that are in it (the brand is not so relevant) and is only as good for each individual as it’s ability to provide the needs (pressure relief and posture/alignment) and preferences (temperature regulation, motion isolation, sleeping “in” or “on” a mattress, overall subjective feel, springiness, and many others) that are most important to you.

The Reverie mattress is a very interesting construction. It uses high quality materials (latex) and is somewhat unique in it’s construction because the cylinders they use can be customized for each person’s body type and sleeping style. The value of the mattress though would depend on how well it “fit” your needs and preferences, what you paid for the mattress, and the importance and necessity of it’s features as part of your personal “value equation” (the things that are more or less important to you compared to other mattresses that use similar materials).

I also like the Reverie adjustable bed (I own a Reverie Deluxe) and IMO they have very good value compared to other types of adjustable beds but this would also depend on the price you paid. There’s more about this in the adjustable bed thread here and in post #2 here.

So overall … IMO Reverie is a good company that makes good quality products that has been very responsive in answering any questions I have had when I talked with them. The only down side that I can see to the “sleeping system” (disregarding any pricing factors) is that it is (or at least was when I last talked with them) only available as a system rather than separately and the extra cost of the adjustable base for someone who only wanted the mattress and didn’t want or need the adjustable base may be prohibitive. If the mattress is available separately or if you wanted to buy both a mattress and an adjustable base anyway … then it’s value would depend on the price you were paying, the “value equation” of each person, and how the extra price for the mattress over the base alone (which is available separately) compared to adding a different but similar quality mattress (that also met your needs and preferences) to the same adjustable base.

NOTE ADDED: They have since provided the complete specs of all of their mattresses (see post #6 here) and they are also available separately and they have also become a member of the site as well.
