SleepEZ having issues?

@ powerdog,

Congratulations on your new mattress :)… I think you’ve made a great choice and I’m looking forward to your feedback when you receive it!

@ adriennej726,

I’m new here and we are trying to figure out if we should get a mattress locally (SF Bay Area) or through SleepEZ

I just called and talked to Shaun and he answered all my questions very thoroughly. We will be going back to the local stores to find out the ILB of the latex on the beds that we are interested in to make better comparisons. It seems overwhelming and a lot of work, but I think I would like to go with SleepEZ, and want to get it right the first time!

I think I’ve covered (hopefully) most of your questions in my reply to your other post. As you know … you have some great quality and value options in the SF area. When you are testing locally your body will tell you much more than any “comfort information” (like ILD) or “theory” about what mattress best fits your own specific needs and preferences and local testing on the exact mattress you purchase is always the most “accurate” and “least risky” way to choose although there are some great online options as well. If you purchase online I would “build in” the expectation of a comfort exchange and treat it as a bonus if you don’t need it.

@ Challe,

Surprisingly, I definitely noticed the difference between the 9" (Medium, Firm, XFirm) and 12" (Medium, Medium, Firm, XFirm) mattresses at FSF. I much preferred the 12" there, so I’m leaning towards SleepEZ’s 13000. My husband is a big guy (6’3" and 240#), so the extra layer probably makes sense for us anyways.

As you can read in post #14 here … the thickness of a layer or a mattress can certainly make a difference … particularly with higher weights. In apples to apples terms … FSF and SleepEz are very comparable in price and value if you are comparing the same materials. SleepEz does offer some types of latex though … particularly blended talalay … that are lower cost and not available at FSF.

@TD-Max,

I’m of the opinion that very few people really “need” soft ILD latex. I think people tend to like to feel cushy soft and in the end it actually hurts them by lacking support.

There is certainly some truth to this IMO as well … depending on how “soft latex” is defined. I think that there are so many “ultra plush” mattresses available today and there is such a focus on “showroom feel” that most people who test based on more subjective impressions of comfort will make choices that are too soft … and can end up paying the price in terms of alignment, overall quality of sleep, and durability down the road.
