Search Results For "Green Sleep"

Mike,

I found another company called Foam Sweet Foam in Lake Forest (Orange Country) (800) 452-6114.  They have all 100% Natural Latex as well and a showroom to lay on them.  Sams has another 100% Latex and it's called American Sleep Organic Item # 190001  for $1,999.  This is the absolute cheapest thing I can find anywhere for 100% Latex and I've put about 4 full days of research into this so far.  If you find anything else, please let me know.  On the Eco-Green one, the memory form part of it is Soy based 70% and then the rest is other.  I talked to the manufacturer direct today.

Hi all,

I'm a 30-something with occasional lower back pain. I sleep well, alternating between side and back sleeping. I also heavily over-research all purchases over $200 - much to my detriment :)

Currently I have a firm traditional coil S-brand mattress on an Ikea Malm platform bed. I sleep well, although the slats on the Ikea bed suck. Can't stand it. Anyway, both have moved once too often and it's time to retire them.

So, now I am researching a new mattress and was thinking it might be good to try foam / latex to be a bit kinder to my hips when I sleep on the side. Have had a bit more aches there lately. I have been looking at some mattresses and really liked a firm Englander latex mattress I tried at a local store. Of course it was $1500. I'm...

Hi Heather--my husband and I drove up to the Natural Sleep Store yesterday and tried out Bella Sera, Savvy Rest, and Greensleep mattresses.  We were very impressed with the quality as well as the knowledge of the salesperson (and the lack of sales pitch).  We are leaning towards the Bella Sera Nove 3.  My husband has back problems, is primarily a back sleeper and likes a firmer mattress, and I have neck problems, am mostly a side sleeper and like a slightly softer mattress.  We didn't much like the pillow topper, and felt that the extra $800 wasn't worth it--rather get a mattress that has a soft top layer to begin with.   Our current mattress is also natural, a Viviteque.  It sucks, the quality is bad, and we are more than ready to replace it!  We are also looking at iComfort mattresses and Tempurpedics for comparison.  The Bella Sera, also...

Objective

To build a custom 100% Latex foam rubber mattress that:

1. Contains no hazardous materials;
2. Provides good pressure relief and neutral spinal alignment for my sleeping profile;
3. Maintains a comfortable bedding temperature and humidy climate;
4. Is easily maintained by replacing simple, layered components (no more mattress shopping).

Hello all,

I'd love to get some advice about what to look for in a latex mattress for my daughter. She's 2 years old, weighs maybe 25 pounds, and we're ready to transition out of the crib. We have a twin bed slatted bed frame already, so now it's just a question of what to put on top of that. I'm definitely keen on being as green as possible, but I do have a budget (who doesn't?) -- so now that I've recovered from sticker-shock (and after reading some of the more inspirational threads on here) I'm thinking that a more DIY approach is the way to go.

I’m particularly intrigued by this 3” topper on sale at the Arizona Mattress Company: http://www.mattresses.net/3-twin-natural-latex-mattress-pad.html (100% Dunlop, 25 ILD)

I just spoke with someone there and his suggestion was to use the topper by itself...
