New Tempurpedic Rhapsody Breeze???

Hi Gabby77,

However, we were disappointed that we didn’t get to try out any latex mattresses as they didn’t carry any. From reading about latex mattresses on your site, we are looking forward to actually trying out one of these in order to get a feel of what it’s like! Would you be able to recommend some local manufacturers around our area? Our zip code is 95814.

The better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Sacramento area are listed in post #5 here and there are a number of them were you would be able to test a fairly wide variety of latex mattresses.

Any thoughts that you may have besides recommendations of local manufacturers where we can actually try a latex mattress would be much appreciated!

The more general suggestions I have are all in the tutorial post and if you follow the steps there one by one then you will almost certainly be fine and of course if you get “stuck” anywhere along the way you can always ask any more specific questions you have on the forum.

Once you have done your initial reading and know what to look for and what to avoid, set your budget, and chosen the manufacturers or retailers you wish to deal with … and done some local testing to find out the types of materials and mattresses you tend to prefer … then it really boils down to the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase (see post #13 here) which are …

1. Careful and objective testing for PPP (or alternatively a more detailed conversations on the phone with an online retailer or manufacturer if you can’t test a mattress in person)

2. Making sure you know the type and quality of the materials inside any mattress you are considering to identify any weak links and so you can make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses.

3. Compare each of your final choices based on the parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
