Recommended latex mattress manufacturers for split husband/wife comfort layers

[phoenix]

Hi Archaeo,

Thursday, Jan 29th, we drove about 80 miles to visit three of your recommended dealers in southern California. We first visited the Berkeleyergo showroom in Ontario. We arrived promptly when they opened and were treated rather poorly by the owner. He was not pleased to see us and let us know that we had come at a bad time. He stated that he was not a showroom for the public but a manufacturer (even though beds were set up in the showroom), that he had a supplier coming (though no one was there at that time), and that he didn’t have enough staff to help us. He asked us if we had come very far and we told him where we had come from, handed me a business card and said that perhaps we could come some other time. To be fair, everyone can have an off day now and then but customer service was non-existent at this place of business. We will not consider purchasing any product of this manufacturer.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience here but they are a wholesale manufacturer that are primarily suppliers for the Berkeley Ergonomics mattresses that are sold by their retailers across the country and in all fairness they do specify on their website (and it’s also mentioned on the Los Angeles list here ) that their Ontario showroom is only open by appointment only. Just for the sake of clarity as well they are not one of the members of the site which are the only ones that I specifically recommend as a group although they do make some very high quality mattresses.

Our third stop was at the Foam Sweet Foam showroom in Anaheim, which unfortunately was closed and appears to only be open on Monday, Friday, and Saturday. This establishment appears to offer the split husband/wife layers within the mattress but primarily in Talalay latex only and according to their website, they charge extra for each layer with a split configuration which adds several hundred dollars to the base price. Ouch!

As you probably know both Foam Sweet Foam and Flexus are members of this site. While it’s not listed as an option on their site … FSF does offer split layering as a no extra charge option. The extra charge is for their customers who choose Talalay layers instead of organic Dunlop. They are also open on Tuesday (you can see their local showroom hours here).

There are a few other options on the Los Angeles list that carry split configurations but they will probably be in higher budget ranges. The tutorial post also includes this link to a list of the members here that sell mattresses online and many of these also sell component latex mattresses that use different types and blends of latex in a range of designs that also have side by side split configurations.

You are certainly looking at some good options and I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up deciding.
