I just received and finished assembling my Sleep EZ 10,000. We ordered it in blended talalay, Soft, Medium, Firm, split layers. Tonight will be the first night we sleep on it, and so far it feels good, but I just thought I'd share a few things I've noticed already.

The mattress cover seems really nice. The top is heavy duty. As for fit, it's very tight around the sides, so I had to squish the corners of the foam to get the cover on, but it's in there.

The one thing that stands out to me so far, and which I don't really like, is the split pieces of foam are VERY different from each other - meaning the two halves of each layer are quite obviously not from the same piece of foam. The holes are different sizes, different spacing, different amounts, etc. One medium layer has large holes whereas the other layer has small holes. One firm layer has many more holes than the other, and one soft layer has different holes than the other and is quite noticeably firmer than the other.

I was hoping the bed would feel the same on both sides once all together, but it doesn't. My wife even noticed the one side being firmer when she tried out the bed, without me saying anything to her.

So, we're looking forward to trying it, but somewhat annoyed that the foam layer halves are so different. Will report back.

I would ask who the manufacturer of the Talalay Latex is.  All my natural Talalay Latex Pillows have about the same size holes and I have not noticed this in my latex cores but the back of the latex cores is not silky smooth like the top but two X-Firms have about the same size holes that I got from FloBeds.  Maybe SleepEZ has an explanation.   I do know that on the side of my latex cores gives the average ILD and some are more or less than others so I requested those that are are the firmer side.

I always thought their site was pretty clear that they used multiple different latex manufacturers to source their latex.  I think this type of mismatch would be a possibility.  However, it would be best to keep at least one manufacturer's latex on each bed.  I do feel that there is definitely a possibility that one manufacturer's medium would feel different than another manufacturer's medium.

I had a SleepEZ Talalay mattress with  soft / medium / firm and Xtra-Firm cores. All of them had the same size holes. I was told by Shawn that they were made by LI. But it does make sense that if you received cores from different manufacturers the molds would be different too. Also, there's an ILD range within each designation, and some of your cores could be slightly firmer or softer depending on where it falls within that range.

I would recommend that anyone ordering from SleepEZ request that split cores of the same designation come from the same manufacturer. That way they should be more consistent.
