After much procrastination I made the call to Shawn and placed the order for a new 13,000. I thought it would be better to go with a firmer mattress so I ordered, from top to bottom, x-firm- firm -medium -medium. 5 boxes were delivered to my house exactly 1 week later and everything arrived in great shape. Because I ordered an eastern king, the layers rather bulky and cumbersome to move and situate but eventually everything was zipped up nicely. My wife complained after the very first night that the bed was too firm. I called Shawn and ordered a layer of soft and 1 week later it was delivered. Keep in mind that I ordered blended latex and chose not to get split sides. I then configured the kit to x-firm- firm -soft- medium. Once again it only took one night before she complained that it slept too firm. I then rearranged to x-firm- firm- medium- soft. We also put a Protect-A-Bed covering on over the mattress cover. I think that alone adds a degree of firmness to the bed. While I was zipping up the cover, the zipper handle broke right off in my hand. The zipper itself still works but it is just tricky to zip it shut or open it up. I called Shawn about the broken zipper handle and he offered a warranty replacement with no hassle. I expect it to arrive at the end of the week. My wife is now happy with the bed so no more adjustments will be needed until the new mattress cover comes and I have to take the entire bed apart anyway. I will post again on this thread and let you know the results of the warranty cover. All things considered, we like the mattress and are glad we bought from SleepEZ. We were both skeptical and hesitant in a HUGE way about buying something this expensive sight unseen. Yes, we did order samples from Shawn beforehand but it still gives you no clue as to how well a latex kit mattress will sleep. We rolled the dice and it turned out well. The best part is this mattress contains no polyurethane foam whatsoever! I feel like I have successfully avoided all of the S brands!!!!!!! One thing I would like to say is that if it weren't for this mattress forum and the internet in general I never, ever would have heard about SleepEZ or mattress kits. Glad we did because my wife and I are now sleeping better. |

Now that I switched my topper from the 1" Overstock one to the 1.5" natural latex topper made by Latex International sent to me by FloBeds.com, I see it does have a little springy feel. I have the topper over a 44 ILD over two 36 ILD's on one side and over a 36 ILD over a >45 ILd over a 36 ILD on the other side of my bed. I do love my Latex Mattress a lot especially being able to see what it is made out of and the fact it has no chemicals in it. Beergut, thanks for sharing your experience. Please do not leave us and keep us updated on how you love your latex mattress. I am glad things worked out well with your exerience with SleepEz. Thanks for sharing.

The last thing I think would be smart would be to take a low quality foam from Overstock and place it on your high quality (and expensive) latex foam from Flobeds. I had an overstock topper a long time ago and returned it as Overstock LIES about the density of their memory foam and the quality was just terrible. I got a FBM topper afterwards and it was MUCH MUCH better. This message was modified Dec 16, 2007 by a moderator

Novahelp, before ordering my FloBed, I was sleeping on the floor on top of the 1" latex topper I bought from Overstock by the recommendations of my Decorating Site to try out latex. My platform bed with drawers underneath it that was 14 years old had collapsed (that goodness I was not sleeping on it) and the painter never returned my phone calls to put it back together since he moved it when he was painting. I needed a new mattress anyway and a real bedroom set so I let my client (who referred the painter) take it apart and I went shopping for a bed around President's Day in February. I was lied to by the Rockaway store that the sample Roosevelt Mattress had no Polyurethane Foam in it and was all natural latex. I was so sick the first night with the outgassing in my small enclosed bedroom and I could not breath lying on it that I actually left the room to sleep on the floor over a down comforter and blankets in the storage room! That is when I asked my decorating site for help on what type of bed should I buy being that I was chemically sensitive. They told me to first order a 1" latex topper to have some more comfort sleeping on the floor in my bedroom once the Conventional mattress and frame were taken back by the Rockaway Bedding Store. They told me then I could tell if I liked sleeping on latex and if I had any allergies to it. Since I slept with latex pillows my whole life, I thought this was a good idea. I had no allergies to the latex topper and loved it and put it over my 1/2" old exercise matt and covered it with a fitted sheet and a blanket. My bed was so comfortable on the floor. When my FloBed arrived the 2" convoluted topper was too soft for me being that I am not quite 100 lbs and not quite 5 feet tall so I did not sink in enough to feel the solid bed underneath. I also did not have latex cores firm enough underneath the topper so that added to the problem. I returned the 2" latex topper and Dave told me he would find me a 1.5" medium density topper. I used my 1" topper and did not like the Dunlap topper he sent to me so I sent it back. Dave then found me a 1.5" Talalay Latex Topper and sent that to me and now with my firmer latex cores and this topper, I feel comfortable. I will keep the 1" latex topper for guests. It was good for the purposes I used it for and I still liked it but it ripped easily and was a little bit small for my Queen size zipped up mattress cover. By the way, Dave sent me return postage labels and I was so impressed by the wonderful service from FloBeds in making sure I was comfortable. Thanks Novahelp for sharing your experience with Overstock toppers. |
