Just wanted to thank everyone, especially Phoenix for this wealth of valuable information on this site. We were looking for a latex mattress and with all the misleading information in the market between so called natural and all-natural we were totally lost. What we learned from this site was that natural mostly doesn’t mean natural, that there is no such thing as 100% plant based foam, that all natural latex manufactured in the USA or Italy is not the same as made in Malaysia or Sri Lanka, and most importantly to not fall for the Essentia or Zedbed Nature marketing spin.
We ended up buying a Greensleep Pure Support in Queen Size at Matelas Bonheur in Laval, QC today, paid CAD $1399 after a 30% boxing week discount, very happy with that price point now that we know all about the latex world out there. Thanks again !!
Hi bimselsteiner,
I’m glad the site could help you and thanks for the kind comments … I appreciate it.
Most importantly … congratulations on your new mattress
You certainly made a great quality choice and I’m looking forward to any comments or feedback you have the chance to share once you’ve had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.

So my GreenSleep Pure support was delivered by Matelas Bonheur today. The mattress came in various boxes and was set up by them, interestingly their delivery folks even seemed well trained in the products they sell. The guys were quite enthusiastic about Green Sleep and knew all about the product, the rubber plantation in Malaysia, Texel wool etc.
Too my great surprise they brought me a Green Sleep Vasilo organic cotton mattress pad free of charge, saying that was part of their holiday promotion. Found that exact same product online for CAD $358 (!). Bizarre. Can’t believe what a great deal I made on this thing.
We have yet to sleep on it though:-)
Hi bimselsteiner,
Thanks for the update.
It’s always great to get a little extra and unexpected “bonus” with your purchase and the Vasilo is certainly a great quality protector (although as you mentioned it’s also very costly).

So we’ve had it for almost a month now and absolutely love it. Haven’t slept so well in years. At first right after delivery I was a bit concerned that it didn’t feel as firm as I was expecting it to be, but turns out it’s just about right that way. It may sound weird but I to fall into much deeper sleep than on my previous sealy posturpedic mattress. Even the alarm clock went unnoticed a couple of times now :-). One concern for me was the height of 6in only, so I went this week and bought a shiatsu futon organic cotton mattress at futon d’or in Montreal ($159) and placed it inbetween the slatted base and the mattress.
Hi bimselsteiner,
Thanks for taking the time to share another update … I appreciate it.
It’s good to hear that your mattress choice (with a little extra thickness added underneath it) worked out so well for you.
