Been to several stores, hours spent reading reviews, brain has turned to jelly, help!
| Decided to research latex after reading Tempurpedic might not be the choice for asthmatics. Seemed simple, but wasn't. Thought I wanted the 100% natural, but checked around and got more recommendations for the blended latex. Gave up the internet for a few days and looked at latex-regular type mattress combinations. I asked for the specs on one bed the salesperson said had latex in it and the specs did not mention latex, but they called the rep who insisted it was there. Well, geez - guess I had my "just got off the turnip truck" clothes on. Back to the internet. Got some info from sleep like the dead, so checked on Sleep EZ. They said the blended latex was THE best way to go, but recommended a latex supplier I was not familiar with. Back to the drawing board. Tried another Arizona company, Mattress.net, very inexpensive for a 6+ inch core, and a 2" topper, but had an dicey rating with the BBB. I found this site today, read until my eyes gave out. Realize I will have to work on what firmness I need or how many layers, but first have to choose a good company that has latex from another good company.....I do live in the Phoenix area, so both of the above options would be good for me. A local company could mean a lot of savings to return or swap. I really think Sleep EZ is my best choice, but...this foam thing has got me concerned. I don't know how specific I can be on this site, so am skirting around identifying the two foam companies, but read there were only two, so figure you know what I mean. Thanks |

| Thank you Webfoot for your kind and informative reply. Wish I had seen it yesterday, as I would have surely checked out the one that your purchased. I had given up, it was too daunting a project for me. I spent hours reading this site, and still was confused. So I just ordered a Tempur-pedic yesteday. Time will tell. Thanks again for checking on the posts and responding to those that need help. God Bless! |

I'm a LONG way from being an expert on this subject. Only know what I learned while searching for our new mattress. Have not heard of of the company you mentioned so can't offer any comments. One thing I've not mentioned previously is the price we paid. Gave $1300 for mattress and matching foundation. Mattress is something like 12"-13" thick and has a foundation of poly foam. All the latex is made by the Talalay process, upper third of the cover is Bamboo. Took a look at a dealer that offers the make-up of the mattress and I see some changes from when we bought. Can't say that today's offering is the same as we purchased. See from this dealer the mattress comes rolled up with ziper cover. Now it may be possible the mattress comes made up and as compressed roll. |
