Swimming in info - please help. ECO-mattress hunting...or not?

Hi Lnr103,

Thanks for letting me know about Cella Luxuria. They and Greendesign (also in Philadelphia) are both listed on the Savvy Rest site and I’ve added both of them to the Philadelphia list.

[quote]That being said though…how the hell am I going to afford one?? :-/

My budget is 2200 which needs to include the foundation and at the bare minimum, 10" of mattress (my sheets always seem to require 12+inches) :-/ :frowning: :frowning: we’d love the pillow top mattress, not just for comfort (since we actually tend to steer clear of the softness of pillow tops…I just like the added height for my sheets to fill out)

Despite our initial love of “extra firm” memory foam. The mattress my husband and I were drawn to was a medium Dunlop base with a medium talalay middle and soft talalay upper. With a low profile 5" foundation they told us it would cost 4200 plus tax. That’s only 10" of mattress and 5" of box spring. Is this a decent price? Can’t I find anything with a similar feel for 2200? I loved their wool/cotton blend cover too. So nice.

Does anyone know of a latex mattress with similar specs and similar feel for less money? [/quote]

If there are no options in your area that are in your budget range then it may be worth considering the optional step in the tutorial post which is an online purchase of a latex mattress. You could use your local testing along with more detailed conversations with the retailer or manufacturer as a reference point for your firmness choices. Post #21 here has a list of the members here that sell latex mattresses online and there are a number that use similar materials or even design as the Savvy Rest, that are either inside or a little above your budget range, and would meet your criteria although it may be worth considering blended Talalay which is less costly than 100% natural Talalay and would reduce your cost to make it easier to stay inside your budget.
