Hello all,
I'm in the san fernando valley (in los angeles). We went bed shopping all day with much confusion afterwards with high prices and some snotty sales people who don't know that much. We found a bunch of "S" Latex beds Serta Juniper Hill for $2800 Serta Vera Wang Beyond Allue $2350 (shipping incld) Miralux elite green $2600-2700 I went on here to find out most of these aren't the real latex that should be sought after. Or the brand is completely unrelibable (miralux)? Initially we started at Sears and liked the Sears-o-pedic "white linen" for about $1300 interspring and foam topper. But I can't even find one review on that. I also searched the The W heavenly bed with mixed reviews...sagging and you can't try it out anywhere. Is it supposed to be this hard to find a good bed? When do you just give up and go with something? None of the bed forums have anything seperated by type of bed so it's all intermixed with all they avilable product lines and whatnot making the process even harder. PLEASE HELP! To addon to the mess I have back problems from the military, so 1/2 of the mattress I try out I get a tingle down my spine. This message was modified May 25, 2011 by a moderator

Most of us on here aren't familiar with S beds, latex or not, because we have come to the conclusion that they make inferior products, have been for years, and they MAKE it confusing to buy a mattress because it benefits them to have a confused public. And if that wasn't enough, we all have had experiences of being lied to by salesmen at S Co stores and half the time you can't get the info you want about the foams inside because they don't know and/or won't tell you. If there is any SCo using really good natural latex, I am not aware of it. I know Sealy uses synthetic latex which is inferior. I assume the others do too but I'm not sure. If you want a good quality mattress that you can adjust to your heart's content get a Flobeds. If you don't like it you get a full refund minus the shipping. Same thing with SleepEZ except their return and layer exchange policy isn't as good as Flobeds. |

Maybe this Latex Mattress Comparison Chart will help you find the right latex mattress to give you some relief. |
| It may not be too far for you to drive to a Custom Comfort showroom (google it) to try out an all latex bed. They have several models. |
| There are a couple within my vicinity. It seems very nice but I can tell they are pretty expensive (with a "luxury" store in beverly hills). But, I see that I can try out a full 100% latex. |

I think I'm settled of the Vera Wang Beyond Allure. I keep getting them to knock down the price on a King size they're currently at $2300. I'm going to go for 2,200 - 2,100. (Tax, bed set, shipping incld., frame) What kind of bed frames do you guys recommend? They have a whole bed with headboard, when I looked underneath it has only like 3 or 4 wood planks and a vertical support in the middle. I thought the whole bottom of the bed should have a more sturdy support system than those dinky wood planks. I don't want it to fall apart or make noise when doing bedroom things.

Just to clarify, are you getting both the mattress and box springs for that price? This message was modified Jun 6, 2010 by pianoman

| Yes, the set including the box spring. |

I bought (but haven't unboxed and set up yet) this King platform bed from Wal-Mart (made by Boyd Specialty Sleep) to use with my DIY mattress I'm building. But at 14" high, it would probably make your bed too tall since you are getting both the mattress and the box springs. Actually you could go with low-profile box springs or you could just skip the frame and put the mattress on the platform. One of those two options may work height-wise. I'll be assembling mine tomorrow, and should be able to give you a decent report on it by the end of the week. |

I'm looking into platform foundations (large plywood) now and ditching the box spring because I like that style.
By platform I mean the following: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Veneto-Spice-King-size-Platform-Bed/1771351/product.html This message was modified Jun 7, 2010 by calisoldier83

The Beyond Allure also known as the "Latex Plush" line of the vera wang. If your at a store it's the top of the line before you hit the euro tops (i can't stand those). I checked the law tag it actually has "17% polyurethane foam". I'm disapointed but I sleep like a baby now and no back problems from sleeping.
Here is a picture of one they called "beyond joy" its the same exact thing as the the beyond allure. http://www.themattressjoint.com/Vera-Wang-Beyond-Joy-Latex-Plush_p_195.html This message was modified Jun 25, 2010 by calisoldier83
