Search Results For "Natura"

Note that the Cuddlebed is 1" polyester filling. So it could change things on your mattress. I have had one for probably 6 months. I think I am removing mine for a while, it adds to much fluff, and I am having trouble with the latex hurting my back. Not sure if it is the 1 3/4" Overstock latex, the 1" Natura Brylane latex layer, or 1" memory foam (3 lb.) or the cuddlebed. I am removing all but the Overstock latex and a blanket and the sheet.

So what works for one, does not work for another. I am super finicky on feeling what is on the bed. Good luck. For me (after my experience) less is better. If you are careful with the latex it won't tear, unless it is 1" and soft latex it will tear easily.

Edit:...

We quit trying to learn about latex when we decided it wasn't for us.

Interesting that all Sealy "latex" mattresses only have something called "luxury latex foam" and so far I can't find a definition of what that means.  I suspect it is a marketing label for fake latex.  Looking online at latex mattress comparisons of the S-mattress companies only Simmons uses descriptions that seem to show that they use natrual latex in their mattresses.

Reading posts from forum members that are much more experienced with latex it looks like the way to go is avoid the big name mattress makers.  You can find 6 inch natural latex cores starting at around $600 and if we were ever going to try latex we would buy a core and put a softer foam topper on top of it if we found it necessary but we both are comvinced that for our personal tastes...

A little online research seems to show that the Natura Sensation Queen is a nine inch build with a six inch latex core and a three inch memory foam top layer.

When we were mattress researching it seemed that natural Latex was most expensive except for Tempura-pedic.

I would suggest doing a Google for mattress stores in area of Philly see if their websites claim Latex core mattresses and, if not, call them and then drive to those that offer Latex core mattresses.  We learned that every make of mattress whether memory foam or Latex or innerspring all have different firmness and different comfort levels so we agree that you should find a mattress in a local area venue so you can personally test it.

 A lot of people don't know that Serta has a line of Latex mattresses called "Pure Response".  I mention this as a LOT of mattress furniture vendors offer the Serta...

Hey Bill, wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

My post was entirely reasonable, and there's nothing wrong with telling someone to try a bed before they buy it.

Just to correct your misinformation, Sealy's SpringFree mattress has a latex foam core, not polyurethane.  Also, companies like Aireloom are not and should not be lumped together with the "S" companies.  E.g. Aireloom does not use the same cheap Leggett & Platt coil springs used by all of the "S" companies, they use much better (time-tested and truly natural) comfort layer materials (cotton, wool etc), and in their midrange and high-end lines, latex is properly put *under* these other materials.  In some models it serves just as a support layer, not a comfort layer.  So a categorical claim that "you want to be as close to the latex as possible" is also incorrect....

Kait, last week I visited Bloomingdale's website and was surprised to see even a few high-end companies (like Shifman) using latex in their $15,000+ coil spring mattresses.  Personally I think it's more marketing than anything else, and what irks me is the amount of misinformation and outright disinformation being spread by manufacturers.  Even so-called "natural" latex is 60% artificial, petrochemical foam, yet consumers are told it's pure, green and eco-friendly.  Just outrageous....

Believe me, I did spend (way too much) time searching the web and calling places, including foambymail which sells a 6 inch core for 589.99 in eastern king, 609.99 in cal king.<BR><BR>However, foambymail's foam is Talalay, unknown if natural/synthetic, and with a maximum available ILD of 33 to 38. I was looking for a much firmer core (firmer costs more), and I was looking for Dunlop process, to avoid springiness and maximize firmness. My core is all natural latex, (which doesn't actually matter to me, but it does to some people.) The cheapest place I found for the firmness I wanted was Jackie, as described above. But yes, if you are looking for medium or soft Talalay, then fbm is hard to beat, it would seem.<BR><BR>On the other hand, I didn't ask Jackie for a price on medium firmness Talalay. The softer latex cores are generally cheaper (I have found),...

Here is the latest update on my mattress project:

I just bought a new latex core and I like it very much. It is made of natural latex, Dunlop process, ILD is 45 to 49. The foam distributor calls this firmness their NaturaLux model number D95. The label said "extra extra firm." It is eastern king size, and is a true 6 inches thick, not 5.6 inches. It was a good deal, too. It cost approximately $900, including shipping. All other quotes I could find on the web were $1200 and up. I did not get the 5 zone model that is available, just the uniform firmness model.

I bought it through Jackie at Creative Ventures, phone number 707-435-8434, web site www.bjventures.net. I learned of her business on this forum, from a post by a very knowledgeable poster named haysdb, so I decided to give her a try. I can highly recommend...

I was doing some research and saw that Verlo makes a latex core memory foam mattress, but this forum seems to rip them except for the spammers.  I was going to go try that mattress ($1400) for the mattress alone, until I read the responses.  I am hesitant to build my own as my wife wants some form of a warranty.

I will keep posting...

My wife and I tried a Natura Sensation Mattress at a store and liked everything about it but the price $2400 for the queen.  Does anyone here know were to get a deal on these or on a similarly constructed mattress that we can try our first.  We live near Philadelphia....

We bought our king size Natural Form (formerly SAT) bed in December 2007. The previous 3 (gruelling) years were spent tossing and turning on a Select Comfort 5000. On that bed, I would wake up several times a night with loss of feeling in my arms if I had been sleeping on my side. I would also wake up with clammy skin (there was a small amount of mildew on the air mattress cover as a result of no air circulation). I started having back problems. The a-ha moment for me was after tent camping, sleeping on a queen size air mattress. You can see when the heaviest parts of your body sink down, the air in the mattress under the light parts of your body, mainly your legs, goes up. There is no support where you need it. Select Comfort is a single chambered air mattress with a big...
