Was at the local Gardner Mattress store and found two mattresses I liked. One was their 'firm' talalay latex mattress. I think around 8". Other was a 3-4" talalay latex on coils. Never seen that combo before. There was minimal polyurethane (I think) foam on the perimeter to keep the coils in place. It was very comfy with less of the 'springy' sensation that I feel with the pure latex mattresses. Just wanted to get your thoughts on this. |
| Eoren, I bought the Gardner Latex mattress in "medium" then exchanged it for the "firm". The owner tried to overcompensate for my medium being too soft and made me an EXTRA Firm all latex mattress. I found this mattress to be way too firm for me but didn't try to exchange it again. Instead, I purchases another 3 inches of talalay "medium" online, then added another inch of memory foam on top of that. I'm happy now, but if I had it all to do over again, I'd probably buy that spring mattress with the top layer of latex. That was the other one that I almost bought. Just my experience with Gardner....... |

Thanks Mark Just ordered the 3" latex over coil in a King from Gardner. We wavered between it and the 9" firm latex mattress. In the end, this one felt more supportive. I was thrilled with their salesman, return/exchange policy and it's nice to support a local business. Will report back after it arrives this weekend. E |
| Eoren, which store did you buy from? I shopped at the NH store but then took a trip to Salem, MA to see the main location.. That was a good move since I found that the owner in Salem would bargain a little on the prices. haha. I got the foundation along with the latex mattress. Yes, they are very easy to deal with and good to support the local economy. |

Bought from Salem. The Gardner happened to be there today. Our salesman gave us 10% off as the website had been running the promotion as of when I went in there last weekend. Thought that was incredibly nice as I hadn't mentioned it thinking it had expired. |
