Hi, I have been looking for a new mattress and when I was researching Latex mattresses I found this site. I had already decided to try a latex mattress before coming here and from what I have read I am more convinced that is what I want. My husband noticed a new latex mattress listed on the Costco site and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I know it is new, but I thought maybe someone might have some comments that might help. Here are the highlights of the bed components - we would be getting a King size with the foundation and at $1499.99 it seems like a steal. I know we would be sacrificing the ability to customize the firmness on each side but is it worth $1000.00 for that??? Here are the list of latex layers - Four layers of 100% natural latex for unsurpassed comfort: Layer 1 – 1” 19 ILD natural latex – soft layer Layer 2 – 2” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Layer 3 – 4” of 32 ILD natural latex – support layer Layer 4 – 3” of 24 ILD natural latex – medium layer Two mattresses in one! Due to its unique construction, the Sleep Science Natural Comfort Latex Mattress allows you to sleep on either the top or bottom of the mattress. Each side has been engineered for a slightly different feel, one softer than the other. The Sleep Science Natural Latex Mattress is two high quality mattresses in one. The mattress is delivered with layer 1 (softer sleep surface) on the top. For a firmer sleep surface, remove the mattress from the cover, flip the mattress, put the cover back on and enjoy a firmer sleep surface. 100% Natural Latex. Certified by the ECO-INSTITUT as 100% Dunlop processed natural latex. Sleep Science Natural Comfort 10” Latex mattress fits the dimensions of your bed Meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633-Federal flammability (open flame) standards Limited Warranty: 20 years against manufacturer defects Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and dust mite resistant This luxurious, health promoting mattress comes with a beautiful silk blend and micro-suede mattress cover Sleep Science Softness Scale – Soft/Medium on one side and Medium on the other Here is the link if you would like to look at all the info - http://www.costco.com/Browse/Productgroup.aspx?Prodid=11496053&whse=BC&Ne=4000000&eCat=BC|93|4914|4916&N=4001838&Mo=39&pos=0&No=31&ViewAll=40&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=4916&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&ec=BC-EC850-Cat4914&topnav= Thanks again for your help!

I am new here. I've learned a lot from reading the forums, thank you all for the wealth of helpful information! I just placed an order for this bed from Costco, for all the reasons that have already been stated. BUT, knowing that my husband and I both strongly prefer a firmer feel, I'm looking for a topper that will give this bed the firmer feel we're looking for. Can any of you recommend a topper that would fit the bill? I'm willing to pay for quality as long as I'm getting better overall value, but I don't feel like I know enough (yet) to know quality when I see it. Any help will be very appreciated, and thanks in advance! I'm EAGERLY awaiting information and feedback about this bed from those of you who ordered it before I. Please keep us updated with how long it took to arrive, how you like it, problems or raves! Thanks!! |
Elisa, I would look at the latex toppers from sleeplikeabear. While I have not bought a topper from them, I have bought their latex pillows. There customer service is outstanding. They sell LI stuff, so it is the good stuff. Their website is www.sleeplikeabear.com This message was modified Dec 6, 2009 by tuan209

I just called Costco and asked about returning a bed, as I just recently returned the EMMA sleep science mattress and i hired someone to help me take it to the store Not necessary, they told me that NO MATTER what the item, it could be a ballpoint pen, they will take care of getting it back. In the case of a bed like this they send the shipping company that delivered it, they package it up and take it away, I suppose it makes sense to keep whatever packaging material it came in to assist in this process... I will likely end up getting one as my 2nd tempurpedic in as many weeks, the bellafina, isnt working out... This message was modified Dec 6, 2009 by randys

Thanks, much, Tuan209. :) I will definitely look into it. I have a broader question to ask about this bed + topper. Concerns with the Costco bed seem to be that it might not feel firm enough - if that's the case, is it possible to increase the firmness with a topper? I've read about several instances of making a too-firm mattress feel softer and more comfortable with a topper; but I'm not sure if it can work the other way. If "not firm enough" means "not enough support" (does it?) than can you really increase that with a topper? Thoughts? |
anyway at least the thickest layer in ther- the 4" core is 32 i.l.d.- & it's all dunlop we;re working with. but ultimately it does seem backwards from what everyone else is doing- firmer layers UNDER softer ones is the conventional setup. i am also anxious to hear what you guys think about how it SMELLS. good luck.

Has anyone visited Costco? Is it in the store to look at? I have to wonder if the layers are glued, and if so I wouldn't care for that would you? Really curious what it looks like and feels. Even at $1000, you still need the foundation and the bed frame or legs. So still costs $$$. But yes the latex layers are costly in themselves. Who actually is the manufacturer of the Dunlop, anyone know? Not too many companies left that make Dunlop. I also wonder about the Sears dunlop mattress made many many years ago, what ILD it was, and if it has different layers. Anyone here had one? |
I am in the market for a latex mattress. I thik we should find out where the latex is from, and is the mattress made in this counry or imported from other country. I still believe made in USA if we can find them. I also try to find out theone from Sears Please work together to find the best mattress. Tina |
The mattress is made by a company called "Sleep Science" according to the Costco website. But I did a search for Sleep Sciecne mattresses and a company that seems unaffilliated with the Sleep Science matress sold at Costco. My main concern about the mattress is if it is treated with chemical flame retardants. |
I am buying this Costco Mattress today as well in Cal King for only $1500. Very close to buying a Savvy Rest but this price and Costco's return policy are just too good to pass up. Hoping someone will receive and review this bed soon. I will when mine comes. Unfortunately that is quoted as 4 to 6 weeks. |
