Hurray. I reserached and found that Costco is selling Latex and memory foam mattresses . They are much much cheaper then Tempurpedics and flobeds and Sleep EZ's latex .
I am thinking of buying this one: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Productgroup.aspx?Prodid=11496053&whse=BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&eCat=BC|93|1924&N=4001714%204294904776&Mo=6&No=4&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&topnav=
Has any one bought from costco the one above? Did you love it or what? I heard Costco sells good stuff. I am not a member of Costco yet. Thanks. This message was modified Jun 10, 2010 by roy1

There are some HUGE threads around here concerning the Costco Sleep Science latex mattresses, and probably the memory foam ones, too. Some people like 'em, some people don't. In the end, it's going to be a matter of your personal preference. It's not so much that Costco sells good stuff, it's that they have an awesome return policy. |
This latex mattress is made by a company called sleepscience. Anyone heard about this company? A good reputable company or what? Thanks.
After-thought any problems with the latex mattress they are selling? I hope surely to know this as I don't want the hassles of returning. Hope they have a good product otherwise why would Costco sell it? After reading replies, I am hesistating to spend thousands of dollars on a tempurpedic that will soften up and lose support and comfort. I just wish I could try out Flobeds and SleepEZ before buying them but they have not got any retail locations. Bummer. |
roy, here's the HUGE THREAD about the Costco Sleep Science latex bed. Click ALL to see all 173 posts. There are other threads, too. Do you know how to do a forum search? You'll find tons of info about the Costco beds. I understand how you feel about not being able to just go in & try out these the all latex layered systems that SleepEZ and FloBeds sell, it's frustrating because you can't see what you're getting beforehand. But thin about it this way: If they did have retail stores all over the country, their prices would likely be much higher. Besides, you wouldn't know for sure about the feel from spending 20 minutes or even a night or three on it. It's only been a fews weeks since I've had my SleepEZ bed, and I do not regret it at all. I only wish I'd a) done it sooner, and b) gone with a slightly firmer set-up. But I can change that by doing a layer exchange. This message was modified Jun 10, 2010 by cynicaljones

Roy, We bought the Sleep Science latex mattress from Costco. It is being delivered tomorrow. We did not order the foundation - we bought the Mission Wood Platform bed from platformbeds.com. Will post back and let you know if we like it. |
The Mission Wood Platform Bed looks very nice. Which finish did you choose? |
We got the Danish Oil Red Oak (it matches the rest of our bedroom furniture), queen size, raised 5", with extra slats. It took 2 of us about 2 hours to put it together; seemed a little shaky at first, but nice and solid this morning. Nice wood, all pieces were there plus a few extras. There is a center rail and a center support, but the directions said the center support was not needed for any size except king. The slats in the headboard are not tight. You do have to pound really, really hard with the rubber mallet to lock the pieces together - we still have to clean rubber marks off of some of the pieces! |
Update - the platformbed.com frame is now rock solid. We put Magic Sliders under each leg and it is very easy to move the bed to clean under and behind it. The solid wood is beautiful.
The Sleep Science mattress was delivered Friday evening. The delivery company was running late, but called to notify us. They put the mattress on upside down, but flipped it when we asked; they removed all of the packing materials when they left.
I think the mattress feels a bit firm and am going to check today to be sure the cover is not on upside down, as happened to someone on the other thread. We may be sleeping on the medium/firm side instead of the soft side. It is, however, Dunlop and we may be on the soft side already. The good news - we have awakened both mornings with no sore backs or, for me, aching hip joints. I did not sleep straight through either night, but I seldom do. The mattress itself is VERY nice and has a beautiful cover. We have a sheepishdreams.com wool topper on and I am wondering if this would interfere with the feel of the latex. |
CJ... I am also thinking about a Sleep EZ purchase! The cost add-on for the Flobed, plus shipping, seems a bit steep. The guts of both mattresses and foundations are identical. Indeed, Sleep EZ sells the exact same foundation for much less, and both of them buy latex from the same supplier. I was planning on going with a medium, firm and extra firm package, forgetting the soft altogether. In fact, I may do the 13000 and go with a double firm, with extra on bottom and medium on top. How did you find the mattress encasement? Was it a tight fit around the latex layers. I not thrilled about the idea of shifting layers. Have you initiated the Exchange yet? I trust you are well pleased with the overall quality? |
I have not yet initiated the exchange. I called and spoke with Shaun and he recommended I try one more configuration, just to be sure. I am pleased with the quality and I trust that it is better than, and will outlast any bed I could have bought locally for the same price, or more. |
So you have the medium side of costco latex mattress on the top? But you said the soft side is on the bottom? With soft side as bottom base how does it feel? I mean does it feel UNSTABLE? like it is slipping and NOT HOLDING UP? THANKS AKROS. This message was modified Jun 13, 2010 by roy1
