A phone call to Fox Mattress would be the best source for specific information about the materials in their mattresses or the prices of their adjustable beds (I don’t keep a record of this type of this type of information). Online advertised prices for adjustable beds are often price controlled so I would always contact the stores you are considering to find out their “best” prices rather than just looking at websites for their “advertised” prices.
I would also keep in mind that none of the other mattresses you mentioned in your previous posts use organic or even all natural materials. Organic certifications may be important to a few people but they aren’t particularly important to “most” people who are more concerned with the “safety”, performance, and durability of the materials in a mattress than with organic certifications and I would keep in mind that an organic certification doesn’t affect the quality, durability, or performance of a material.
There is more information about the different levels of organic certifications in post #2 here and some of the benefits of an organic certification in post #3 here and there is more about the different types of organic and safety certifications in post #2 here and more about some of the differences between organic and safety certifications in post #2 here that can help you decide whether an organic certification is important to you or whether a “safety” certification is enough.
Hi again! We still have not bought a mattress. If you were to choose between golden mattress from jax mattress and a mattress from fox mattress, would fox be a much better choice?
If we go to fox, I really hope they will be extremely knowledgeable in knowing what a good fit is for my husband and me.
It’s been 3 years since we bought out mattress at Fox. It is still in perfect shape and we are as comfortable as the day we purchased it! Amazing it truly is like new.
I cannot sing the praises of Fox Mattress any louder. They came through with what they promised and here we are 3 years later and everything is still true. You absolutely can’t go wrong if you take the time and spend the effort to try out mattresses, ask questions and (I know this sounds silly) but stick your nose in the mattress materials to see if you get any scent from them. I’m super sensitive to smells and when I have to sleep on a memory foam mattress when away from home, I can’t stand the smell. Once the foam comes in contact with body heat, the smell (to me) is unbearable. Fox let me go into their warehouse and let me smell all their materials. I know they thought I was crazy but there is NO SMELL from our bed and never has been.
Good luck finding the perfect bed. Sleep is way too important to make the wrong choice.
Thank you! So glad to hear you got a great mattress! So rare these days! Do you mind me asking what exactly you got? We plan to go there in next few days. Do they offer any discount if you mention the mattress underground?
Here are the rest of the specs by golden mattress from jax mattress:
9 inch pocketed spring system. 2 inch of 2 lb soft foam. 2 inch of 4lb slow recovery cool gel memory foam. 2 inch of plush foam quilted at the top. 15 inch profile.
Look back in this string to message #5. I posted a lot when I was looking and in 5 listed what we got (I don’t remember just know it is GREAT!) Yes we got the discount with no problem at all. Good luck! Hope all works out well.
It would depend on the specifics of each mattress I was comparing. There is more about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).
While I can certainly help with “how” to choose … It’s not possible to make specific suggestions or recommendations for either a mattress, manufacturers/retailers, or combinations of materials or components because the first “rule” of mattress shopping is to always remember that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and there are too many unknowns, variables, and personal preferences involved that are unique to each person to use a formula or for anyone to be able to predict or make a specific suggestion or recommendation about which mattress or combination of materials and components or which type of mattress would be the best “match” for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, or PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences) or how a mattress will “feel” to you or compare to another mattress based on specs (either yours or a mattress), sleeping positions, health conditions, or “theory at a distance” that can possibly be more reliable than your own careful testing (hopefully using the testing guidelines in step 4 of the tutorial) or your own personal sleeping experience (see mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here).
Having said that … Fox Mattress is a member of this site which means that I think very highly of them and that I believe that they compete well with the best in the industry in terms of their quality, value, service, knowledge, and transparency so all else being equal in terms of the mattresses themselves I would tend to lean towards making a purchase from them.
They are certainly knowledgeable and can provide you with good guidance about the pros and cons of different mattresses but again you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress so any final choice about which mattresses you prefer or which mattress to purchase will always need to be based on your own “informed best judgement” since nobody else can make the choice for you.
Yes ,., they provide a 5% discount to the members of the forum if you let them know you are a member here.
If you can provide the density of the top 2" layer I’d be happy to make some comments about the durability of the materials and the mattress “as a whole”.
That’s a little thicker and lower density than the “no more than about an inch or so” of lower quality/density materials that I would normally suggest in the guidelines here.
Once there is about 2" or more of lower quality/density (less than 1.8 lb density in a one sided mattress) and less durable materials or “unknown” materials in the upper layers of a mattress then the odds of more rapid foam softening and breakdown that can result in the premature loss of comfort and/or support would be higher and foam softening and the loss of comfort and support isn’t covered by mattress warranties (see post #174 here).
Thank you for all your help! We actually were in the car travelling to fox mattress when you wrote. We bought their chiropractor’s dream and it will be delivered this Friday:)
Thanks for letting us know what you ended up deciding … and congratulations on your new mattress
As you know I think you made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback once you’ve received it and have had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.
