Yesterday I finally got to visit my friends who had said they wanted to sell an old but barely used innerspring mattress. We had a lovely visit, but I didn't get a good look at the mattress; and for various reasons, they seem not to be ready to part with it after all. So that's out, and I'm back to square one.

Did some mattress shopping on Saturday, but nothing knocked my socks off.   Tried various memory-foam mattresses; hated them.   Found the continuous-coil Sertas to be quite uncomfortable (hard on the shoulders).   Didn't find anything really comfortable at Jamestown Mattress.   Nor at City Mattress -- although I didn't spend much time on any given mattress there, and had a salesman talking at me the whole time I was there.  He seemed a bit sad about the decline of Stearns & Foster (after it got bought...

Original Mattress Factory - Serenity Memory Foam - a_nd_y

Has anyone tried one out or own one?

I stopped at the Minnesota location the other day and was surprised how comfortable it was and not overly expensive.

Reminded me kinda of a higher end Tempurpedic without that sinking feeling... not necessarily a bad thing.

HOWEVER, I'm worried more about longer term use and how the foam breaks down over time.

Thoughts?!

Latex topper recommendations - trmiv

My wife and I just purchased a king sized Luxury Firm mattress from Original Mattress factory.  We picked it because it felt supportive, and we knew we could put something on top of it to get a little extra softness.  We are both side sleepers, but she sometimes moves to her back (I only sleep on my side),  I'm 5'11", 210lbs, and my wife is 5'6" 155lbs. While this mattress is great for support, we're looking for some softness on top of that. We actually loved the soft plush latex mattress at OMF, but it was a little spendy for us.  I'd love something to give that heavenly soft feeling we both loved when trying out that latex mattress.   After some searching around on this forum what I'm considering doing is ordering the 2" 20 ILD latex topper from foambymail.   I'm just wondering if 2" going to be...
Have OMF memory foam, topper thoughts? - lpeters

We recently purchased the Serenity memory foam set from Original Mattress Factory. It seems well-put together and we're liking it quite a bit. It does not transfer motion nearly as much as our previous OMF spring mattress, and it does not sleep hot at all.

Their memory foam is a little different than others, as it react much faster than the Tempur Pedic, which I don't care for.

However, it is quite firm. Seems to be softening a little, but I think I'm wanting something I can sink into just a bit more, as I am having some comfort issues. I had hoped a new bed would help me sleep more soundly and wake less to flop around. While better, I'm not there yet. My s.o. is fine with what we have, but admits she can get comfortable on just about anything. I tend to prefer...

I thought I'd update, as we've had our Serenity for about a week. Will keep it brief, as we haven't had it long enough to really put a review together. The foam does have some off-gassing. Not horrible, but not a pleasant odor. And while we do like the foam compared to our previous spring bed, it does sleep firm. I find that I don't feel I sink into it quite enough for the foam to completely do it's thing, does bother my hips a little after while, if I'm on my side. It does not get hot, however, which is great. 

I'm debating a latex topper to soften things up for my. My s.o. likes it and doesn't have any problem. We'll see how things progress.

If you're looking for more, there are reviews on the Original Mattress Factory's Facebook pg.

We've been look for a new mattress and just checked out the Serenity again. From our discussion with the gent working, the model has only been available for about 6 months, but has been in the works for 10 years. He said it's had some tough testing for a good two years before the put it on the floor. It sounds like they put a lot of time and research into the developement. 

Eventually the foam base will begin to break down and we were told by another sales person that it may not last quite as long as latex, due to the base material. But the warranty is for 12 years on both types, and their customer service is generally very good. Plus, they have a comfort return policy, where you can swap for another mattress within a year for a fee (something like $250).

A few weeks ago I did see this mattress.  Thought it was very very firm.  The store was a little cold and the salesperson did say that tempurature does effect the foam.

Recreate OMF latex mattress using FBM? - mrsb1234
Mar 26, 2012 10:36 AM
Has anyone done this?  I've tried out the Original Mattress Factory latex at the showroom and I like it.  I am interested in making my own, however, to save costs and to eliminate the 1" poly layer.  I need a CA King, so the costs get much higher at this size.

I like the 9" bed which I believe is comprised of 6" of 32 ILD Talalay latex core, a 2" 19 ILD topper, and then 1" of poly foam.  The cost for this mattress would come to around $1700 with tax and delivery.

I can get those materials from Foam By Mail for around $1000 (no tax or shipping), using 6" 32 ILD and 2 or 3" of 20 ILD. 

My question is, has anyone done this? Are FBM's ILD levels comparable to OMF?  I read on this forum that OMF gets their latex from Latex International. If that is true, how does...
