http://www.rockymountainmattress.com/8inchnaturallatexmattress-p-89.html for $1389.95 (foundation extra) not a bad buy. I know it is from Latex International and they compress it to ship and it is assembled (layers I assume) it has organic wool and cotton top. I can't see by the picture if there is stitching, but if they make a mattress there usually is stitching. What do you think? |

Kimberly, I think I am just plain petrified of ordering a mattress. Unlike you I didn't get my money back on various crummy lousy mattresses. Like most people I kept thinking well it must be me making the wrong choice. Until I found this forum a year ago I didn't realize it realize was a case of manufacturer's using crummy PU foam, and non-flippable mattresses, and yes crummy memory foam that broke down in 6 months. I stand by that statement (okay opinion), it does break down. I think I will wait til you order a Sam's Club Latexco organic latex mattress to see what you think. Also I am still to chicken to decide. I will also have to have the incentive of a sale at Flobeds. I know I won't like the stitching on the cover, I just know it, I have never been able to tolerate that. Maybe I have fibromyalgia, who knows, I just know it bothers me. But at least I have the Natura wool topper to cover stitching now, that helps somewhat. Yes your daughter is young and can handle mattresses better than a more mature adult This message was modified Apr 10, 2010 by Leo3

body. Dunlop has the history of Sears mattresses. People loved those.|
Yes, 3 years ago I bought my older daughter a new Simmons mattress as part of a bedroom renovation. It was so cushy and comfortable! But it wasn't long before it developed a giant, and I mean GIANT, crater in the middle where she sleeps. I no longer have the receipt for the mattress (who knew they were making cheap crap? I assumed it would last 15 years like the Simmons mattress we had on our bed) and so I can't file a warranty claim. So I understand your fears about buying a new mattress, believe me, I had them too. In fact, the ONLY reason I broke down and ordered one was the fact that I had a fight with CC mattress and they came and picked it up - leaving my husband and I with NOTHING to sleep on and leaving me with a husband whose face was purple with rage. I had to pick up the phone and do SOMETHING right then . . . so I called Flobeds with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, lol. I don't have fibro, but I can't believe you would feel that stitching, the top is so soft. Well . . . idk, only you can be the judge of that :) |
I hope you and your husband can laugh about your mattress situation now since you are both happy with the new mattress. Good thing it turned out  well. Believe me I have tried every mattress pad out there, and the stitching caused pain. The cuddlebed was the worst for me. It was so highly recommended by some here too. I guess that goes to show what bothers one person, might not bother another person. I am happy with the wool on top mattress pad by Natura, no stitching lines. But I know it is going to be flat in time so not sure if that would prevent me from feeling stitching lines. I think the quilting is what bothers me most. |
