I wanted to thank the community and Phoenix for the wealth of information and guidance for my recent “value-based” mattress purchase.
Similar to many folks that wander to this website, I initially looked at local big-box stores for my purchase. I found very few mattresses in my price range (800-1000 for a queen) and began to search online for a better value. To my surprise, this forum had information overload and seemed to have “too many” mattresses in my price range. I eventually narrowed my purchase down to Dreamfoam’s ultimate dream (500), eurotop (800), BB cotton camilla (760), or to the all-latex Spindle Mattress Abscond (760).
On paper, Spindle almost seemed to good to be true — 9 inches of latex vs. 3 inches + polyfoam, 365 days comfort adjustment (albeit $150 extra if needed), and a zipper cotton cover with thinner woven topper polyfoam (0.75 inches vs. 1.5 inches and ?less likely to have body indentations). I was a bit hesitant from the lack of online reviews, but Phoenix’s endorsement of Neal and the company certainly helped. I eventually placed an order and spoke with Neal directly to confirm I made the correct firmness choice (“medium” → firm-firm-medium layers).
The mattress was very easy to assemble and lacked any discernable odors. It was extremely comfortable/supportive on its first night and my initial impressions of Spindle are outstanding. If the mattress holds up as promised (~10 years) — I think it will represent a great value.
I hope other folks have similar experiences with Spindle and I plan to update the community on our spindle mattress in the coming months. Thanks again for the info!
