| This is made by Latex International, sold at Sam's Club. I just was googling all Natural latex and found this. Anyone? Click here. |

Okay, I didn't catch that about the other latex bed (the blended one). That makes the decision a lot easier. When I compare the Costco mattress to the Sam's Club 100% latex mattress, to my thinking, even though it's about $250 more, it's a much better value on two fronts: 1) It's made in the US and not from suspicously sourced latex (meaning that we don't know where/how the latex is manufactured) 2) It has a much better cover, organic cotton and wool (not that I'm an organic freak, but the top is a knit cotton and wool, which is better than the Costco mattress and will be MUCH more likely to dissipate any heat build up) 3) It's a full twin size, whereas the Costco model is short an inch. 4) It looks like the foundation is much higher quality than the Costco foundation. Okay, that's 4 things not two. Anyway, I'm personally convinced the Sam's Club model is better. |

Internet search shows that this mattress is made by Innomax. They call it: WHITE NIGHT PREMIUM ORGANIC NATURAL LATEX MATTRESS http://www.innomax.com/index.php?crn=238&action=show&show_products_mode=cat_click It is a part of they Natural Reserve collection. The company has been around for 30+ years, but I have a difficulty locating reliable user reviews of this product. Unfortunately, the only locations where one can see their products on display are in Colorado (Denver, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs). It would be interesting to get more first-hand accounts of using this product. Only 1 review on Sam's Web site (of king size mattress). |
| Interesting. I went to this website and phoned Innomax. They confirmed that the Dunlop latex is Latexco, and they also quoted me a $1,636 price for a twin (not sure if shipping was included in that). The price on Sam's Club was $1,049 for the twin, with another $260 or so for the foundation . . . shipping included. |
| "The 3\" top layer with Ultra-Form 5-zone" = polyurethane foam with "Two more additional layers of 3\" latex" So NOT 100% latex |

Roy, I don't know whether Marlene's misinformation is "deliberate," but it is misinformation. I replied to her about the issue in this thread: http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/costco-latex-mattress-vs-sams-club-latex-mattress/11296-0-1.html. Specifically: "No Marlene, you are wrong. Sam's Club sells two latex mattresses. One is 100% latex and the other is not. These mattresses are made by Innomax. The American Sleep Organic Mattress sold by Sam's Club is a 100% latex mattress. It is the same as the White Night Premium Organic Sleep System sold by Innomax. The "ultra form" you mention just refers to zoned Dunlop latex. Innomax sources their latex from Latexco, which makes zoned Dunlop latex. The American Sleep Eco-Green Latex Mattress sold by Sam's Club is not 100% latex. It is the same as the Allura Natural Latex Sleep System sold by Innomax."
The links take you to the two latex mattresses sold by Sam's Club, the identical latex mattresses sold under the Innomax label, and to the Latexco web site, where you can read about their zoned Dunlop latex. This message was modified Sep 28, 2010 by KimberlyH

| Go to the links for each mattress and read the descriptions. They are identical. |
| I meant to say that they are not identical. If you read the measurements/thickness of layers. The first layer on Sams club is different then the first layer on the other mattress that you say is identical. |
