PLB Nature

[phoenix]

Hi SusanPS,

Hi, My husband and I are looking at purchasing a queen latex mattress. We found a local retailer who carries PLB. They have a queen Nature model for $1799 with PLB foundation. Are you able to tell me if that is a good price? This is an older version so they said they are giving us a discount (newer version apparently has a different cover). Cost is a major factor but we want to get the best quality product.

I would check the law tag for the manufacturing date and if there is no manufacturers warranty on the mattress then you are probably looking at purchasing a used mattress from a liquidator which could be a comfort or a warranty return so I would be very cautious. There is more about buying a mattress from a liquidator here and here and here and more about some things you can check for if you are considering buying a used mattress in post #2 here as well.

I believe I read mixed reviews on the PLB foundations. Any feedback on their foundations?

I wouldn’t use them under an all latex mattress because they are not good quality and aren’t the most suitable choice for an all latex mattress. You can read more about them in post #44 here and the posts it links to.

Are there on-line retailers who sell similar mattresses for less with some sort of guaranty? I am open to the customizable mattresses but don’t want to get stuck with something we were never able to test. We need it by Thanksgiving as we have guests coming and they will be using our older mattress. Thanks for any advise you can give me:)

The mattress shopping tutorial includes this link to a list of the members here that sell mattresses online and many of the make latex mattresses that use different types and blends of latex with a wide range of designs, options, and exchange and return policies that are in a similar budget range (and are new with a warranty) that would be well worth considering.

If you let me know your city or zip code I’d also be happy to let you know about any of the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in your area as well.
