Hello all, still on my hunt for a good bed.  My wife and I were originally looking at a Kingsdown Sleep to Live 800 Series (red/blue), but after reading some reviews we were a little skid dish and decided to look at a latex bed.  Now I know there are a lot of on-line companies like Sleepez and FloBeds, but buying a bed untested from an online retailer just is a little too inconvenient as we have to deal with shipping cost if we get the firmness wrong.  So we went back to my local Sleepy’s to look at what they have to offer for latex beds.  Turns our they just received the new line of Dr. Breus latex beds that same day which are made by IBC.  We tried all five models and narrowed it down to two.  As this is a brand new line of beds it is hard for me to find on-line detailed specs.  I know the salesperson tells me the bed is entirely Talalay latex, but I would like to confirm that from another source.  Does anyone have anything they can share on me these beds?  Or if there are any other recommendations of other beds we should look at?  Thanks all.

Dan

Hi, 

 

  Update to my last post .

I cut the bellafina in half this past Saturday (very easy, I purchased a electric kitchen knife)  and moved it onto the adjustable bases, we slept on it Saturday night and when I woke up I moved the $50 firm mattresses back and put the tempur-pedic bella fina back in the spare room where it will stay for the rest of our lives as we both can not sleep on any tempur, there is NO SUPPORT IN TEMPUR PEDIC MATTRESSES (I tried them at the cardies store, they did not have all but they had the firmest ones at the least and they were still no support and not as firm as what I purchased, cardies one for $50 with adjustable base)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I woke up Sunday morning with the bella fina there was discomfort in my back, even with the adjustable base (not pain at least, but discomfort that may have tuned into pain sleeping on it night after night)

The funny thing is my wife likes soft (or so she thinks) and prefers the cheap firm foam we purchased from cardies furniture as do I.  I do not know who out there actually really truly likes tempur or now thinks they like it if they did not sleep on a ceap firm foam like my wife and I are doing now, also that she thought she liked soft and really does not.

I would never ever buy from Sleepys and tempur every again and would never recommend them to anyone!!!

Sleepys due to selling me faulty (or whatever one calls it) dr. brues bed that is not like the one in the store!

Sleepys sales person selling me non breathable side mattress prtector, that I think is the cause of my first bed to form creaters very quikly!

Sleepys sales person selling me a tempur in the winter/cold times and NOT informing me that it will be lots softer in normal envirement (house)!!

Sleepys for not calling me back in time to do an exchange, I put the call to them and they never returned it when I was within my return for the tempur!

Sleepys sales person (one of them) for telling me a foam mattress is softer on an adjustable base, when in fact is firmer if anything cause of the boards used in the adjustable base!!!!

Sleepys for only ofering me $1400 in an exchange now for my $4000 tempur (I know this one is debadable but the whole story tells)!!

Temur Pedic for selling way overpriced foam mattress that they have no support (meaning you sink and not good for backs, any ones back) for at all in anything they sell today!!!!!!

I am just reporting my findings to maybe help others in their decision, this has cost me lots (and I am still paying on all of this).

Maybe I should have looked into it more but both sleepys and tempur do not post bad reviews that often on beds at their sites so that is another negative to both of them and a very big one, so take reviews on their sites with a very very small grain of salt!!!!!!!!

I have tried and will try again to post on their sites, and all I get is calls saying they care but .......  I will let you know if I get anywher else with them but at this point I am paying for a tempur purchased at sleepys that is in a spare room doing nothing that I am still paying on because their slogan is "the sleep experts" I do not now how to find these people at sleepys and I think you will not either!!

Also 1800matress is sleepys and maybe others out there also, so be aware!!

Thanks to all, best of luck!!!

Hi all,

 

I told you all I would keep this updated.....

Around 1 year of owning both mattresses.

So over time my wife and I had noticed the $50 mattress was getting hard, so my wife went upstairs (about 1 1/2 months ago) to the tempur pedic rhapsody mattress and she said she wanted to try it out instead of the $50 mattress that to both of us was getting harder..

So I swapped the mattress on her side and after 2 weeks she said she loved it, so I moved my half and I have been on it for 30 days and we both do love tempur pedic now..

I don't understand foam, but it takes 1 year for it to (cure) get to its normal.    Now this is my thought and findings on these foam mattresses.

I don’t for the life of me know why it takes a year to stiffen up but they do.

I am sorry for all the negative for them (but this year wait should have been told to me by all involved)

I sleep with my head and feet elevated, and have no back pain when I wake up.

I have no sagging of the mattress (either the $50 one or tempur pedic) at all so far, and I know it was the improper mattress protector sleepys sold me that made my first tempur pedic sag, and would still never ever recommend Sleepys (see my other posts).

I do change my words now (after a year) and would recommend the tempur pedic mattress to all, with a warning that it takes a year for them to get firm like their meant to be.

Happy sleeping to all

And to all a good Night…..

Don

Ps. If anything changes I will update again.  Thanks to all…..
