sleepez vs wjsouthard vs savvy rest

[phoenix]

Hi LaurieF,

I was doing one last search this morning to make sure I hadn’t overlooked another option and I had resigned myself (almost) to spending around $3750 when I came across the Sleepez website. I can order their Organic Eastern King 10" mattress with a similar configuration to the others (All Dunlop or Dunlop for the bottom 2 layers and a softer Talalay on the top) with foundation and delivery for approximately $1000 less.

I know that Sleepez is a member of your site and from what I have read on your site you consider ALL of these (Savvy Rest, WJS and Jamestown) to be quality manufacturers.

My question is, how can Sleepez offer what appears to me to be a VERY similar product for $1000 less? Is there “a catch”? It almost seems to good to be true. Especially given that the other 3 choices are all quite close in price. An “outlier” tends to make me suspicious.

You can see some comments about why different manufacturers have different prices for similar mattresses in post #14 here. The SleepEZ component mattress would be most similar to the Savvy Rest Serenity except they use 100% natural Dunlop while the Savvy Rest uses organic Dunlop. The “outlier” in this case would be Savvy Rest because their mattresses are more costly than many of the members here that sell very similar component latex mattresses online (including some that have an option for organic Dunlop). The Cazenovian and the Linklaen are different mattresses and aren’t directly comparable outside of the fact that they both include 9" of latex (100% natural Dunlop in the case of the Cazenovian and Linklaen).

There is no “catch” and the latex in the SleepEZ mattresses would either be 100% natural Dunlop or 100% natural Talalay or blended Talalay (depending on the options you choose) and are the same quality latex as other mattresses that use the same type and blend of latex. There is more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here.

One disadvantage to me of the Sleepez is that I can’t try it out in person or see the mattress to be sure of the quality and feel of the cover, but I am not necessarily opposed to ordering online.

There is more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) in post #2 here that can help you identify and minimize the risks involved in each of them.

There is also more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here that can help you make more meaningful comparisons between mattresses.
