New member,... some questions
|
Hello everyone. I am a new member and I have a couple of questions. I have been sleeping on a water bed for over 20 years now. The most recent bed is now 10 years old and the floatation material seems to be wearing out as it wants to bunch up on one side. It is a California King and I sleep in it alone, mostly I am a side sleeper. I am 6'2" tall and weighed 210 pounds. I have been thinking about all natural, organic latex mattress. I have been reading quite a few of the online retailers websites. I have pretty well narrowed it down to two companies. Sleep Ez, primarily because of all the good posts on this site regarding them, and also Savvy Rest because they have gotten other reviews on other sites that were good. I have talked with Savvy Rest by phone and they were very helpful and courteous. However their pricing compared to Sleep EZ is quite a bit higher. The one thing that does concern me about Sleep EZ is the fact that they seem to believe that blended Talalay is not only as good as natural organic Talalay but in some ways superior. This makes me wonder if I were to purchase an all natural Talalay mattress from them, would I actually get a mattress that would have a great deal of synthetic material in it. Savvy Rest is very adamant about the fact that their mattresses are natural organic latex, whether it is Dunlop or Talalay processed. I have been quite impressed with their customer service department and was leaning towards them until I found this site and all of the great references to Sleep EZ. Can those members of this forum who have used one or the other of these companies post their experiences regarding the concerns that I have listed? I would appreciate it very much, because as you all know these mattresses are quite expensive and those of us who are living on Social Security just cannot afford to make a mistake. Savvy Rest does not have a return policy for the whole bed only a 90 day exchange policy for a layer of latex. It seems that Sleep EZ is more liberal. Any and all recommendations would be welcome. Thank you Don |
Bad experience with SleepEZ

tdrj: Sorry about your problems with SleepEZ. I am curious, was the bed that you put the topper on indented in any way? Were you trying to fill a hole in your bed with the topper? You say you took some pictures. I know I would appreciate having an opportunity to look at these pictures, I am sure other board members would as well. Thank you for posting and telling us about your experience. I am in no way trying to defend SleepEZ. But it just seems to me that latex cores were meant to be put on a flat and solid surface. There has been some discussion lately about foundations. Particularly the slatted foundations that seem to be so popular and prevalent for latex mattresses. There is a good thread about this.... it can be found here. http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/fbm-foam-latex-1-year-update/6943-0-1.html |
Re: New member,... some questions
| I feel for your loss of $445...Was your topper blended or natural talalay latex? Just wondering--does your Sealy mattress have any divots? Since blended talalay is supposed to last longer that natural, your report will help in future latex decisions. |
