Well, our Queen size Pure Latex Bliss – “Pristine” - mattress from the Healthy Back store was just delivered today. It was a “Heavy” haul up to the bedroom and with the help from our strong son we made it. (180Lbs.) Thanks to the extremely helpful information I been reading in this really fine website, I think we made the right decision. It feels GREAT.
I and wife are back and side sleepers, about 165lbs and 5’8". (65yrs young.)
I was able to test out the “Beautiful” model at a Sleepy’s store in southern New Hampshire. Sleepy’s is closing out the Pure Latex Bliss line, as I was told, “We can’t sell enough of them”, “People want to pay $1k or $2K for a mattress”. The Beautiful model felt great and I was ready to buy the floor model, but while searching the Web, I found a close out of the “Pristine” for about the same price. ($1199 + 150 shipping). The story gets better.
I think someone ran a fork lift into our original “floor model” bed while loading it as we got a call saying that we will be sending you a new mattress, in place of the “floor model”. The NEW mattress was packed well, but it also had a rip in the bottom cardboard outer shell made by a fork lift tang. It did not pierce the plastic wrap, so I took delivery. I want to say that (IMO) the Healthy Back Store is a fine company with No Problems to report, so far. Every person I talked with was knowledgeable, helpful and it was a pleasure to do business with them, even on weekends.
I will report back after a few weeks about the comfort level and performance of this bed.
The only question I never got fully answered was concerning the construction of this bed. I mean: The product description reads that it is comprised of THREE layers of LATEX.

However, the diagram supplied at the Healthy Back Website shows a different construction. Two 6" parts, with the top using the Celsion material.

Any insight – Any other owners opinions. Much appreciated.
Thanks,
