Just happened to do a search for "latex" stuff on their website and saw there.  They weren't there on Saturday, so must be a very new product.  Includes a 100% cotton cover, though it's VERY cheap compared to pretty much everywhere else on the 'net.  Claims to be made in the USA, but doesn't say what ILD OR even what type of latex.  Just ordered one since I have a Costco nearby, at worst I don't like it and I'm out the $10 in tax.  I'll throw a review up on here when I get it.

(Link isn't working for me, but if you search for "Latex" at Costco.com you'll see it)

Thanks Costco for your generous return policy if I don't like this "stack"!

You are correct Alice, I need to try thinking before typing next time. :-)

I've ordered one of these also but I wonder how long Costco will offer the generous return policy while people seemingly abuse it? For example not giving a product enough time to really test it then ordering another product to "compare" it with, or ordering an absurd number of items which most likely be returned. Bob

You guys are buying this without knowing the ILD? I might call them and ask what the ILD is. I hope they're not doing an "overstock" kind of thing and selling 2nds of various types and ILD's...
NOTE: the King is $125 and the Twin is $75. If anyone has the need for 2 twins all you have to do is cut it down the middle with an electric carving knife and save $25. Unless you need the cotton cover (I don't).

Anyone know if this is available in the stores? I guess I'll call and ask that, as well...

Jim, the latex stuff seems to fly out of Costco quickly so I just thought I'd jump on this and see if I like it. Bob makes a good point about abusing the return policy, but when they don't provide things like the ILD or latex type in the product description it makes it hard to be sure of what you're getting. I've bought jeans there before and not felt bad in the least about returning them since they don't provide a changing room, stuff like that. Anyway, if you DO hear more info on it I'm sure we'd all greatly appreciate it!

It doesn't say what kind of latex either.  Natural?  Synthetic?  Dunlop?  Talalay?   My concern would be that it is 100% synthetic and who knows what ILD.

I like Costco, but they frequently don't post enough product information on their website.  I doubt you will see these in their stores. 

I couldn't find any info. on Comfort Impressions latex.

I also hate to see the return policy abused, because they may eventually be forced to change it.  Certainly it is fair to order 1 to try and return if necessary, given that they provide little information on what you are getting.

We, the consumer, own Costco. For 1, I am sick of getting ripped off with slick advertising?! Flase lables, ect. The REASON I shop at Trader Joe's and Costco is because I can take anything I want, used, eaten or whatever, back. Costco is NOT resposible for the stuff, the dealers who sell it to them are. I have NEVER been called by Costco but i have been called by the manufactores of said product. Overstock is just a big, online Ross and I will never buy anything from them again.

As far as reviews go, buyer beware. I just bought a mattress pad from Overstock, claimed to be made by Simmons, 500 thread count. Ha! The sides were paper, no way was it 500 threads and it didn't say Simmons anywhere, on the pad or packaging.

I have bought many foams due to reccomandations, anyone want them? Mine look far better than jimsocal........

Gee, how do you know what I look like? Granted, I'm no Brad PItt, but... I'm not pockmarked or anything like my Dunlop foam is. .

Do you have any very soft latex you wanna dump?
