Hi Rossneptune,
Then I clearly need to add you to the list of people that Iāve said congratulations on your new mattress 
Phoenix
Does anyone have an email for Chuck? I tried contacting him through their web form but never got a response.
I ordered an Ultimate Dreams 13 for my son and was thinking about getting something similar but firmer for me and my wife. I also wanted to ask him about the TMU discount.
Thanks
Hi Cataldo,
You can call them at the number on the Brooklyn Bedding site here.
The email you received for your sonās order should be the one to contact them. You can also email them at the Amazon email link on their sellers information page here.
The TMU bonus for their Amazon mattresses is a shredded pillow and on the mattresses that are sold on the Brooklyn Bedding site is a 5% discount. Itās available to anyone who is a registered forum member (one post on the forum) at the time of their order.
EDIT: To receive the forum discount on their Brooklyn Bedding line make sure you either call, email, or use their chat to get the discount information before your purchase. With Amazon they just need your username here.
Hope this helps

I ordered my Ultimate Dreams mattress on 3/2/13, I received it on 3/8/13. The tag on the mattress states it was made on 2/15/13.
The tag also states itās made of 66% urethane foam and 34% talalay latex.
There is no mention on tag or shipping materials of the comfort level I ordered.
I thought each mattress was custom made after order and choice of comfort level. Maybe I received a returned mattress.
I am worried about the quality and longevity of materials and if I even received the correct comfort level I ordered.
Is the 3" of talalay latex 100% or blended?
Is the base foam and the 1.5" of foam in the quilted bamboo cover the 66% of urethane foam?
I find the Amazon listing a little vague and maybe misleading. I guess I should have asked more questions before ordering.
So far I am happy with the mattress but wake up a little sore. I hope itās just a matter of getting accustomed to it. The shipping speed and packaging was excellent. I felt the email responses were slower than they should have been. The price is good if the mattress lasts 10+ years before any degradation.

The tag on a mattress or what is called the ālaw tagā only indicates the materials in the mattress by weight. It doesnāt contain any thickness or ācomfortā information.

They donāt sell returned mattresses (and they donāt normally even offer returns anyway on their Amazon mattresses) and because there would be several layering combinations that were more common, most manufacturers would make these ahead of time or there would be significant delays in making and shipping any particular mattress.
It is blended talalay latex made by Latex International. In other words it is 100% Talalay (this is the type of manufacturing process used to make the latex and all latex would be either Talalay or Dunlop) and it uses Latex Internationalās blended Talalay (you can read more about the different types of latex in this article and in post #6 here).
Yes.
Iām not sure what you are reading but they are among the most open and transparent on the internet and provide every detail of the layering of their mattress on their Amazon site. I donāt know how you could possibly call it either vague or misleading when it is very specific and clear about every material in the mattress (and they will also answer any question you may have as well). I agree though that if you had questions that it would have been a good idea to ask them before ordering.
they certainly are very quick and their speed of service has always been good as well. How long did it take for you to receive replies to your emails?
Yes ā¦ the price is excellent and the mattress will certainly last that long before the materials break down but of course only you can know from your own personal experience if it matches your specific needs and preferences in terms of pressure relief and alignment (how suitable it is for your body type, sleeping positions, and preferences) although they have a very good record of helping people to decide on the layering that has the best odds of success. the suitability of a mattress though has little to nothing to do with the quality of the materials or how long they will last

Thanks Phoenix. I appreciate all youāve put into this website ā amazing stuff!
I tried their number a few times yesterday but only got voicemail. Iāll try again today. Oddly enough, they still havenāt responded to my email from Saturday morningā¦
One other question, is it possible to use the UD13 on a twin metal frame without a boxspring? Was wondering if I could build slats potentially? Or where can I order an inexpensive but suitable box spring on-line?
Thanks again!

Just ordered the ultimate dream 13" gel mattress. Thank you for this forum to help me read honest and insightful feedback, and help me navigate through the weeds that is buying a new mattress.
Hi rkraider,
Thanks for your kind words.
I think you made a great choice and I hope you have the chance to provide some feedback when youāve received it.
Most importantly ā¦ congratulations on your new mattress
Phoenix
Never mind Phoenix. I think I answered my own question. It looks like IKEA has something that will work.
Hi Cataldo,
Sorry for missing your question. Sometimes it happens when there are multiple posters posting in the same thread.
If you mean a frame like this then I certainly wouldnāt put a mattress on it directly. Itās meant to support a box spring or a foundation ā¦ not a mattress which would sink right through it. I also wouldnāt use a box spring at all (box springs are the ones that have some type of springs inside that flex). With an all foam mattress, a rigid non flexing foundation or platform which has a rigid, evenly supportive, and non flexing surface is usually the best choice.
The foundation thread here has more information and links to many options that would be suitable for different types of mattresses in many budget ranges. Brooklyn Bedding also sells a foundation/frame that would work well for their mattress.
Phoenix
This thread has been great and a wealth of information, definitely want to thank anyone that has contributed to it. I believe Iām finally ready to make my order.
One quick question ā Phoenix, you were talking about foundations and I was wondering, if I were to purchase the mattress, would it be safe to put it straight into a bedframe that utilizes wooden slats?
For example, something like this: ADMIN NOTE: Removed 404 page link | Archived Footprint: cb2.com/plush-natural-bed/f7666.
Hi idonotmatch,
I canāt see the surface that the mattress would be sitting on from the picture you linked but If the slats are designed to hold a mattress not just a foundation (which is probably the case) and there are enough of them to provide the even support that satisfies the warranty requirements (just check with Dreamfoam) then there would be no problem.
Phoenix
I too just ordered the Ultimate Dream based on this forum. Thanks for all the information. Canāt wait to get a good night sleep
Hi Pats,
Congratulations on your new mattress
I hope you have the chance to let us know your feedback when you receive it.
Phoenix
We are ordering a Ultimate dreams 13 for our son, if my wife and I like it ,we are getting a queen for us.
Hi krew,
Congratulations on your new mattress
If you like a mattress just a little firmer than the Tempurpedic Cloud Luxe then this would certainly be a good choice and of course itās great value.
Phoenix
about to place an order with Brooklyn Bedding. Great company.
Hi matthall2121,

Hello:
Thank you for all of the info on this site. Itās truly an amazing resource (and a time-consuming one for someone as indecisive as meā¦ ha.) I am considering buying an Ultimate Dreams mattress. I am located in South Florida and have visited several local manufacturers so far, but havenāt found exactly what Iām looking for, which is why Iām considering purchasing online. I have determined that I want a mattress with a latex component. One of the local manufacturers had me try a 3" 28 ILD latex layer on top of a 3" G30 HD Polyfoam layer and a 4" G50 HD Polyfoam layer (Iām not sure what G30 and G50 mean other than the fact that G50 is firmer than G30). I liked the feel of that but it was a bit too firm. They didnāt have any softer Latex for me to try, and instead they put a 2" memory foam layer on top of that for me to try. I liked the extra softness, but it just felt like overkill. The next manufacturer I visited only had 40 ILD latex, which was way too firm. Finally, the third manufacturer recommended that I go with a 6" 28 ILD latex matress. I liked the feel of that but Iām concerned about it being too thin. Iām 5ā10", 160 lbs and usually sleep on my side. The woman who helped me said the 6" latex would provide plenty of support. She said she could add a 4" foam core below the 6" of latex, but the only purpose that would serve would be to add height to the mattress. She didnāt have any other latex for me to try unfortunately.
As I continued to research on this web site, I learned of Brooklyn Bedding, and like some of the other posters, I like the fact that there are so many positive reviews and information about these mattresses. Factoring in the 5% member discount, the 10" Total Latex mattress (king) ends up costing about $250 more than what I can get the 6" latex for locally, and the free pillows make it an even better value. Iām also considering their latex hybrids, which seem to be a much better value than the hybrid I tried locally (the first manufacturer I visited wanted $1500 for the hybrid with the 3" latex topper).
Sorry for the long-winded post, but here are my questions:
(1.) Will a 6" 28 ILD talalay latex mattress really provide enough support on itās own?
(2.) Given that I liked the feel of the 6" 28 ILD latex mattress but havenāt found anywhere local to try a duel layer latex mattress, what firmness in the Brooklyn Bedding 10" Total Latex would you recommend (I will ask Chuck this question as well)?
(3.) If I chose to go with a Brooklyn Bedding hybrid (say the Bamboo Bliss), what firmness would you recommend given that I found the 3" latex hybrid with 28 ILD a bit firm? 7?
(4.) Do you by any chance know of a manufacturer/seller in South Florida who has a selection of latex mattresses to try?
Thank you so much for your help and for all that you do!
