see in person. In other words, a bed I might find at Macy's or Mattress Firm, etc. I am interested in a plush, cushion firm sort of comfort level and something under $4,000. I see the S Co's all make a latex product but wasn't sure about their specs and whether they use the LI product I see mentioned on here. This message was modified Jun 1, 2010 by shaggy

Just found this thread and have recently gone through the shopping experience. Purchased a Sweda Renu mattress mentioned in this thread a couple times. Have had it a month and so far we feel we made a good decision. These mattresses come in 3 firmness levels. Each is approx 1/2 Talilay process laytex with foundation of polyurethane. Only one company in the USA that produces Talilay laytex. The model we purchased has 3 layers of different density laytex. No padding between you and the laytex. Comes with a nice zip-on cover with top being made of Bambo fabric, very soft. We bought the Renu 5 model, their softest but no way overly soft, good support. We're seniors and this fits our needs very well. I would have no hesitation recommending to anyone looking at a laytex mattress to give this brand, model, consideration. Oh, the Sweda brand is one of the family of brands by Lady Americana. While shopping took a look at an Englander "laytex" mattress. Saw a cross-section of this mattress. Was over a foot thick and only saw 1-2 inches of laytex sandwiched in the middle. Rest of the mattress was of a cheaper foam and in the cut-away the foam looked to be laid in a fairly sloppy way. Was on "sale" and sale price was several hundred dollars more than the Sweda we purchased. |

The Sweda latex bed was one I tried when I was first shopping for a latex bed and trying to find something in a showroom that would approximate the feel of a latex bed from Flobeds/Sleepez/etc. I can't say that it felt exactly like the Flobed did, but it was very comfortable to try, although too soft for my sore back and weight. What I learned from trying the Sweda was that I liked the feel of latex. Except for the fact that it has a layer of PU foam in it, it seems like a reasonable bed. I was also able to find a Land and Sky bed locally, and learned from that bed that I did not like Dunlop latex. |
