Hi: Very informative forum here, I saw quite a few negative responses looking at both S-Brands (Spring Air or what's left makes the Nature's Rest brand I gather) and Latex Foam mattresses. The one we looked at yesterday for $2400 (plush firm) and $2700 (pillow top firm) - I believe "Banyan" and Conservation are the brand names I dont know if they are specific to Jordans furniture or what? Lot of money to pay for a mattress, I personally like the tempur-pedic, but it's too firm for my wife. The sales lady said the only problem is the "canoeing" effect, you have to turn the bed a quarter turn every week for a few weeks to prevent the mattress getting indents and sags due to wear and tear. Anyone have experience with this and with Jordan's buying this brand of mattress? Any other better suggestions of comparison?? Sleepys?? Mattress Discounters, etc.? Tom |
I have to whole heartedly agree with jwelch on Nature's Rest. I have a Queen Nature's Rest "Vista" model, which incidently carries the Latex International Seal of Design and Manufacturing Excellence -- something I really never noticed until reading this thread. The original price on that mattress was approx $3,300 at Filenes in 2002. I was an employee and it had been marked down, so after multiple discounts I paid $750; had I known then what I know now, I would have happily paid $3,300! That mattress is fabulous! Unfortunately for my partner and I, we wanted to move up to a King size mattress in 2010 and I just could not find a Nature's Rest. I tried Jordan's and they'd stopped partnering with Naure's Rest -- I was told by Jordan's that NR has started to use an inferior latex product. I shopped and researched quite a bit trying to find something that would be as good as the Nature's Rest. I purchased what I thought would be an equivalent Natura Organic (list was $6K +/-) I HATE THAT MATTRESS, we both do! I've bought toppers for that mattress and attempted any number of fixes and I still despies it. We used to say "ahhhh" every night when we got into the Nature's Rest, but for the past year we suffer through each night with the Natura Organic. To each his own, but I wouldn't recommend Natura Organic to anyone and I recommend Nature's Rest to everyone. It's just hard to find them, I wish the were sold on line. The queen NR is in our guest room, we think we have very lucky guests, and when we just can't sleep on our mattress, we go visit heaven in the guest room! |
