Restava Mattress ... Hold off with a purchase for now

Hi hpete,

They did email me two days ago but it was only to say that they are “finalizing the details” and will be giving me a call. I am as disappointed as I’m sure the members here are that would otherwise be considering them and I hope that the information that they end up providing is worth the wait and the frustration.

I need a low-profile mattress, not over 9 inches high. Because of this I am limited in my choices. In addition to the Restava mattress I found one produced by Select Foam, the SELECT-Cirrus ES 8". Since you rate Select Foam as using quality components and since it has a full refund policy I have decided to purchase from it. They claim their 8 incher compares to the TempurPedic Tempur Cloud. I attempted to do a live test but could not find the 8" TempurPedic in a showroom. I did try the Serta iComfort Insight (also 8") and found it very comfortable. If it weren’t for the low rating of the Serta foam I would have purchased it. Several buyers on Amazon stated that that after only a few months the Serta became too soft. I also tried a higher TempurPedic which was was to my liking. I only hope the single 2.7" of 4 lb memory foam over a 5.3" base will be sufficient. Time will tell.

You can compare the quality of the layers in any mattress to the guidelines here and as you can see 4 lb memory foam would certainly be a suitable density for most people (although I would tend to minimize the use of 4 lb memory foam with higher weight ranges). I would also keep in mind that other memory foam mattresses that are the same thickness may feel very different depending on the specifics of the materials and components inside them.

In any case … it is certainly a good quality/value choice and I hope you have the chance to share your feedback when you receive it and that it works out the way you hoped for.

Congratulations on your new mattress
