Hi Yuppicide,

Thanks for the update … I appreciate it

I would say I am happy with this mattress if it gives me at least 3 years worth of good service. Maybe 4, but I think if it gives me at least 3 I am satisfied. I’ll keep it longer if it continues to provide me with good service.

If your mattress is well inside the comfort/support range that is suitable for you and you are sleeping well on it after the first few weeks and you have gone through the break in and adjustment period then it would be reasonable to expect that it will last you for 7 - 10 years (latex in general is the most durable of all the different foam materials).

As for next time, I probably wouldn’t want to buy this mattress. Why? Has nothing to do with the mattress or the company I got it from. I just think I want to move up to something even more comfortable.

I would keep in mind that “comfort” is very subjective and has little relationship to the price of a mattress and for many people your mattress may be more comfortable than the $3200 mattress you tested at Sleepy’s … and it would almost certainly use higher quality and more durable materials as well.

As for the memory foam pillow that you asked what it is… not sure… icool or something, but Googling icool it doesn’t look what I have. It had the name cool in it somewhere. It was from Hammacher Schumacher, so if you can imagine overpriced. It’s definitely cool.

I was curious about which pillow that Dreamfoam sent you (not the one you already had) and whether it was shredded memory foam or shredded latex. It should say which filling material it uses on the tag.

PS - That memory foam pillow Dream Foam sent me still stinks. I think it’s similar to a “My Pillow” and my Mom has two of them and loves them. The My Pillows can go right in the washer and dryer, not sure about this one.

It’s probably not a good idea if your pillow is a memory foam pillow (memory foam can be damaged by liquids). The MyPillow is made from polyfoam … not memory foam (see post #20 here).

What’s the relationship between Dream Foam and Brooklyn Bedding? Dream Foam is in Arizona. Brooklyn Bedding is in NYC. The pillow actually says Brooklyn Bedding on it.

Brooklyn Bedding is named after the owners daughter … not the city. They are sister companies that target different markets and share common ownership. Both are made in their new state of the art factory in Phoenix, AZ.
