Any owners willing to share thoughts on this mattress?  In my area, 100% latex is limited to Natura products, with one also offering Green Line (?).  Wanting fairly firm with slight comfort on the surface, but firmness the most critical for a problematic spine/neck.  "Humming and hawing" between the Natura Eco Rest and Eco Haven, with a consideration of the Rest and adding a latex/wool topper if need be.

New to this option for mattresses as of the past couple of weeks.  This forum seemed like a good place to start.

 

thanks

Have you tried them out?  The Eco rest sounds like it would be pretty firm, with just 6" of dunlop latex.  Personally I would prefer the Eco with 2" of added talalay on top.  But, I have not tried, so just an educated guess.

You can't have anything shipped to you?  If so, I would consider Flobeds, sleepez, foamsweetfoam which can be customized to your taste, exchange of layers if necessary to adjust firmness, returned if not happy.  They have 100% natural latex option and possibly all organic if that is what you want.

Going in a few days to the 'big city' to try out.  Unfortunately, in all the shops, only a couple specific all natural latex models available to check out.  After that, ordering in through the supplier would be no different than ordering direct from a manufacturer i.e. pay the price and then hope/haggle with returns.  I want to avoid cross border shipments (I live in Canada), but have eyed a few national suppliers that could send.  But I'd 'really' like to check out first hand.  Failing that, interested in anyone has tried the Natura Eco Rest because I have found little comment to date.

The Eco Rest is going to be pretty firm.  But one thing I think to keep in mind with Natura is that they use more wool than most latex mattress producers and on the top of their mattresses they use a very nice wide and open stitch pattern, its quite luxurious.  This makes them a little bit softer than one might imagine with only a 6" firm latex core.  Both beds are good quality though.
