Well, this current deal from Sleep EZ seems hard to beat.

Three layer 8" latex mattress for $995 with free shipping.

The core consists of two 3" layers of Dunlop from Laytex Green.  The top layer is 2" of Talalay from Latex International at 22-24 ILD.  This seems like a good quality mattressat a great price. 

The biggest drawback is that it only comes with a cotton zipper cover.  However, I thought I'd get a slim wool mattress pad.  This one from llbean looked good.  Here is the web address, but could not get the link to work.

I just called Costco and asked about returning a bed, as I just recently returned the EMMA sleep science mattress and i hired someone to help me take it to the store

Hi Eden, I would be very interested to here about your latex foam. I am thinking of starting up a luxury all natural mattress company in Australia but it is at the very early stages still. From what I have seen, Arpico is a great product but it would be great to know about your latex. You know, here like in the US, the finish and design is not so important as the quality of the foam. It is the best I have seen but if you have better, it would be great to try, that is if you supply to Australia.

Sorry for the confusion about origins. As you know, Dunlopillo originates from Dunlop, a UK company. I thought that both the Dunlop process and the Talalay process were invented by Dunlopillo / Dunlop in the UK but if you know it to be Germany, then fine. Regarding growing, for...

Hi Catlover and other readers,

I am not from the US but I came across this website and I am writing this message as I was very surprised that you did not consider natural latex foam from a company called Arpico.

I have some knowledge of natural latex foam mattresses as one of my close friends works with this material.

The production of natural latex foam is a relatively simple process a bit like making a cake. The latex is first mixed into a froth and then cooked in a steam chamber. Finally it is dried.

The performance and durability comes both from the quality of the raw material and from the quality of the production process.

Now, here is the complication and why the source of the latex block is so important. Collection of natural latex is extremely labor intensive and this material is very expensive. It can go bad whilst it is...

Hello TFolier,

I'm not trying to flame Arpico. They are capable of producing nice foam.
I bought from them for quite some time. Just after a while they let the quality and attention slip - just like some people, who are married for a while get sloppy in appearance and effort.
Or they just have to give the good quality to new customers, to get them onboard.
I don't know where the problems is with them. But you are right, they are big.

Dunlopillo is a also real giant, with factories all over the world (but also making PU-foam, spring mattresses etc.).
The timeline for Dunlopillo Germany you find on their website:
http://www.dunlopillo.de/historie.php
1932 shows the first mattress from their plant in Hanau (near Frankfurt) and mentions this as first latex mattress world wide.

Hello catlover and all,

I'm German, was surfing the net (regarding 100% natural latex foam - it's part of my job) and came across this thread.
The last post, in which Arpico was praised beyond believe got me to sign up and pen a few word.

Mis- and disinformation seems to be ripe on the net and it becomes unbearable.

Let me first and foremost tell you that it is your retailers responsibility to ensure that you are satisfied and also to accept a return / exchange if you are not.
I would try to avoid a company that tells me, I cant return a 3.000 US$ piece of furniture if I'm not satisfied.

(If the company tells me: We have been dealing Latex Green or any other company "xyz" in the past, but they have been sooo bad....
Then I would ask my self:
1. What happened to all the customers and their money, who...
