Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Ok, I bit the bullet and ordered the SleepEZ 10000 and returned the Costco Comfortluxe. I am a bit nervous about ordering a mattress without having tried it! :) However, what I really liked was Shawn even suggested I spend LESS and buy the 8500 model because "you just don't use more than 5.6/6" of foam." He said that until the mid-80s all the latex mattresses were just 6", but since then people think more is better. I ended up choosing the 10000 because of bed sheet fiting, Shawn said that sheets can be a bit of a pain to get for the thinner mattresses nowadays (Sheets are made for huge beds now) So despite my nervousness on buying something sight unseen, I just keep telling myself all the wonderful reviews I have read here about the service level with Sleepez means it should be ok! :) (i hope :) ).

Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
I dont understand what you are saying to test? 2" memory foam medium firm x-firm I don't have a soft layer to exchange because I am not using it in the above configuration. |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Yes: the above configuration with either 2 inches (or even 1.5 inches) of memory foam or PU foam. The soft layer I'm talking about is the one you still have from Sleep EZ (unless you already sent it back) which you are not using in this particular configuration. You could keep the medium, firm and x-firm and exchange the 3 inches of soft for a thinner piece of latex to use as a topper. Make sense? |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
I only paid for 3 layers, you are thinking of their 13000 which is 4 layers of latex which I didn't buy... :) |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Novahelp, you had a soft layer in your configuration quite recently. I did not realize that you had sent it back. Since you have been mentioning soft, medium, firm and extra firm, I thought you had four layers to play with... |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
I see. To be honest, I just don't want to do this anymore. I want to just go get a spring bed and get a latex topper. Your suggestion would end up costing me more money to continue this experiment. After two nights now on the medium-firm-xfirm my body feels like it has been beat up lol! I don't think a 2" layer of latex is going to be able to counter that...

Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Well, I just got my spring mattress. Placed a latex layer on it, and FINALLY this seems to be what I need. Dear god, can this ordeal finally be over!? And, how the hell do I get the latex topper layers back into those boxes?! Help pLease! |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Novahelp, Do you have split cores or full cores? If they are split, then put each one in the bigger bag it came in (should have come in 2 bags) and have someone hold it has you put the vacuum nozzle in it to take the air out which will shrink the latex core significantly. Then tape that up before air gets out to put inside the smaller bag to tape up (buy packing clear tape) and put the cores inside the boxes they came in with the return labels SleepEZ should send to you. I found a UPS place near me so I no longer do pick-ups and I have someone place the boxes in my hatchback/liftback and the UPS store's guy takes them out for me and sends the back to Flobeds when I am swtiching out layers. When I had a lot of boxes, I called UPS and they came by and picked up everything since I went with much firmer latex layers. I know you are just returning everything to SleepEz. I hope the restocking fee is not too high. That is why I went with FloBeds also since I hate restocking fees and the price of my bed when down enough during the 90 days with all the specials that I got it fro the same price as SleepEz with no restocking fees. On the bright side, you found out you like a latex topper so that is good to know and it sounds like your new bed's set up will be just for you and you will be happy. Please keep us updated. |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
I don't have anyone available to help me. The packaging is a black plastic sheet and a clear bag., no vacuum holes. I am going to lose about $400 on this including shipping. I don't care as I made a gamble and lost, that's life and I learned a few lessons. |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Novahelp, I would have packing tape next to you and I would put the latex core in the bigger back and leave a little space at top for the vacuum hose and then when the latex core is as small as you think it will go, pull out the nozzle and then twist the the top plastic round and round and then put the thick clear plastic tape on it to give you time to put it in the bigger plastic bag. Life is full of changes and learning experiences and at least you learned you like the latex topper. If you need more help, I will try to log on in between clients to see if you have more questions. |
Re: Just ordered Sleepez 10000....
Phew, got the Firm layer wrapped enough to fit in the box. Just got the x-firm in the second box. I have NO idea how they fit two things in each box. There is NO way I can fit two in the boxes as they did... the boxes are buldging but seem fine holding. I have to keep one layer now as I only have three boxes and I likely need one box for each layer. This message was modified Mar 8, 2008 by novahelp
