I don't know how you are sleeping on only 24ILD and memory foam.  You can sleep on a rock, you lucky thing!

I on the other hand am petrified of making anymore mistakes on beds or chairs.  I can't afford to lose anymore money.  I don't trust my instincts anymore, I pick chairs and beds that don't work.

Has anyone had personal experience with arizona premium mattress company. How can you really know where the latex is made?


I just purchased a Queen Adjustable Ultra Plush Latex Sleep System from Arizona Premium Mattress Company.  The mattress is blended latex (soft/soft).  My Fiancee and I have been sleeping on it for a week and we really love it!  It feels the same as the 100% natural latex mattress that I had slept on before.  For those wondering where they get their latex, it is clearly stated on their web page that they get it from Latex International:

http://www.latexmattresscompany.com/latex-mattresses-talalay.html

The stamps on my bed cores also said Latex International.

Ken at Arizona Premium Mattress Company was great and answered all of my questions about the latex mattress.  I didn't know too much about buying a latex mattress so he walked me through all of the considerations that I should make before buying.  No pressure at all.  They do make each mattress to order so it can take a few weeks.  The mattress arrived exactly when they said it would.  In the end, I didn't feel that there was any reason I should have purchased a 100% natural latex mattress over the blended one.  It is the same molecule after all.  The blended beds are a lot less money and fit my budget.

Very happy that I could support a small business.  Would buy from them again.
