Hello, my husband and I are in desperate need of a new mattress. I have been doing lots of research and have decided on latex. (which I had never heard of prior to reading this site!). I have seen the reviews by people for SleepEz and FloBeds. I have also visited local stores and found that Aireloom and Sealy have latex mattresses (luxury latex and SpringFree). They have a latex core and mixed latex and foam. It is nice to be able to see the mattress and experience it as opposed to ordering it online. I am wondering if anyone has experience with Aireloom, Sealy or Englander latex mattresses. There does not seem to be a huge amount of review info on them. I just want to make the best decision possible and hopefully get something that will last for a while. It is a little difficult for me to order a mattress online without having seen or felt it first. (I am 5'8" and 190 lbs. and my husband is 5'9" and 220lbs. - in case that matters ) Thanks! :)

Thanks everyone for your advice / help. We have been trying some latex mattresses out in specialty stores to see how they feel. It is a lot to digest and I just don't want to buy something that I regret in a year! I appreciate everyone's post on the topic and research will continue.

Bill, No apology is necessary in my opinion. You said what I wanted to. Jim was probably okay in his opinion, we all have opinions on what we have experienced. But I disagree about it is okay to accept salesmen here, we shouldn't accept that. I don't want to hear salesmen here

I am not sure I agree with Jim about not being close to Latex. I think we all have opinions on what is comfortable, it is not right or wrong. I am still not sure if I want a layer to cover the latex, but then again I don't want holes from the latex imprinted on my skin.

My opinion on ready made mattresses from the "S' companies is I would NEVER buy from them again. I will make my own, thank you very much. I have wasted enough money on that garbage.

That is what this forum is for, opinions from people who are buy and sleeping on mattresses, not from sales people. My opinion..........
