New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| Hi, I have been looking for a new mattress and when I was researching Latex mattresses I found this site. I had already decided to try a latex mattress before coming here and from what I have read I am more convinced that is what I want. My husband noticed a new latex mattress listed on the Costco site and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I know it is new, but I thought maybe someone might have some comments that might help. Here are the highlights of the bed components - we would be getting a King size with the foundation and at $1499.99 it seems like a steal. I know we would be sacrificing the ability to customize the firmness on each side but is it worth $1000.00 for that??? Here are the list of latex layers - Four layers of 100% natural latex for unsurpassed comfort: Layer 1 – 1” 19 ILD natural latex – soft layer Layer 2 – 2” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Layer 3 – 4” of 32 ILD natural latex – support layer Layer 4 – 3” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Two mattresses in one! Due to its unique construction, the Sleep Science Natural Comfort Latex Mattress allows you to sleep on either the top or bottom of the mattress. Each side has been engineered for a slightly different feel, one softer than the other. The Sleep Science Natural Latex Mattress is two high quality mattresses in one. The mattress is delivered with layer 1 (softer sleep surface) on the top. For a firmer sleep surface, remove the mattress from the cover, flip the mattress, put the cover back on and enjoy a firmer sleep surface. 100% Natural Latex. Certified by the ECO-INSTITUT as 100% Dunlop processed natural latex.

As stated in previous posts, I did a great deal of research and have personally tried many different beds but for the price this is the best value out there. We opted for the foundation which I am glad we did because it is very supportive and the cover matches well with the mattress. All I can say is that it is worth every penny as we are ordering a queen and a twin to go with our king. Thanks |

| The foundation is made of steel and is very strong. It is the exact same size as the box springs so it fits nicely into any exisiting frame. We initially purchased just the mattress but then changed to include the foundation. We like it because it looks nice, is very supportive, and won't collect dust mites etc... The frame was installed at the delivery company's warehouse prior to delivery. |

| I forgot to mention that it does have legs so you don't actually need to use a frame if you don't want to. The legs come in 2 small boxes that we currently have in storage in case our decorating needs change. :) |

| One of the benefits of sleeping on latex is that it does not interupt the sleep of your spouse. The foundation itself does not make any noise either. Good Luck! |

My wife and I just bought the King Sized version of this mattress. Are awaiting arrival and are very excited to try it out. This forum was a godsend in trying to figure out which mattress to try out and led us to this point. Thanks to everyone here. One question we had that hopefully someone can answer -- we currently have a platform bed that has slats in it that are spaced about 3" apart. Will we be okay putting the latex mattress right on top of the slats or will we need to get some additional support from a foundation of some type? We didn't order the foundation that Costco sells simply because it would make the mattress sit too high for our bed. Thanks. Troy Olson |
Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| Well, I pulled the trigger on this mattress. Ive been planning for 12 months on upgrading from a queen (crappy spring firm + 2in latex on top) to a California King. Last night I pulled the trigger on a bedroom set and today I pulled the trigger on the Costco natural latex mattress. I figure I will try it as is. If I need softer I will get a 2in Talalay or Celsion topper for it and if that still doesn't work I can always return the base layer and go back to springs + latex topper in the end. Based on my past experience with latex turning my terrible mattress into a great one I predict an extremely slim chance I will return this to Costco, plus for the price this mattress really doesn't compare to anything but a mail order latex mattress that has been pieced together from the cheaper latex companies (with much worse return policies than Costco) |
Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| quick update after couple months with our cal King latex bed... 1. Remember they sometimes ship with the more firm side up, and you need to flip. see earlier in this thread for details. 2. the foundation SQUEAKS. Not at first, but slowly it is getting worse and worse. to the point where I can hear it when either of us roll around at night. I tried tightening some of the knobs at the MANY MANY joints of the metal foundation, but it didn't seem to make a difference. could be the few I couldn't reach, but I'm likely going to return or call customer service. 3. we got the cuddle bed topper from costco, which adds just a tiny bit of cushion. not as soft as when we tried 1" of memory foam, but it improves the feel, without reducing how supporting the mattress is. |
