New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| 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!

Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| 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. |
Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| 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. |

this foundation for $200 more- metal with plastic top & four legs... but what IS that exactly? what is that ridged box between the legs & actual mattress? similar to a box spring, with some type of internal structure, or something less substantial? i'm not seeing any up close photos of that foundation or its insides, or the latex itself for that matter./ i just hope its quality isnt' too cheap. either way, i wouldn't even hesitate if those layers were only loose instead of glued together. i just don't like being forced to keep softer layers UNDER the thickest, firmest core layer- which is what you end up with regardless the side you choose. guess they had to make it simple as possible to flip, if not physically easier. or as customizable. because in the "firm/medium" orientation, i'd almost rather lose latex & replace the softest 3" layers on bottom with firm conventional foam, so that it's a continuous progression from softer to firmer, top to bottom. but even that way, it's still tough to put 7" of raw latex together for this price, on the simplest of wood slat frames (with no encasement or "box foundation)/ |

"Avoid the matching foundation. It comes fully assembled and is made of steel with plastic panels for support. While it works, I'm concerned about the cheap plastic support panels. For the price (about $200 extra for the matching set) I feel you can do better buying a foundation locally." -dkcs (http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/sleep-science-ara-foam-mattress-costco/4406-0-1.html). & exact same price increase in queen for this one. he hasn't checked back in there since summer, so hopefully it's still o.k. for him. but i'd rather have a basic wood slat frame instead for less money. the value here is obviously in buying the mattress only.

Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| Ihad an old Sers dunlop mattress but it was decades ago when I was a kid, so I can't be of any help as to what they sell nowadays. Extremely comfortable, all one piece (or perhaps glued pieces, I don't know as it was inside a typical mattress cover) |

This Costco 10" queen latex mattress sounds like a fantastic deal. In contrast, the quotes I received from Land & Sky for their queen mattresses ranged $1500 (6" latex core "Meadow") to $2000 (9" latex "Rainforest"). Lifekind quoted me $2400 for their standard "Euro" model. Their "Trio" was $3400. The Soaring Heart Natural Bed Company queen latex mattresses range $1300 to 1400, and their all cotton/wool futons pads run $400-500 or so. Now, I'm sure those companies craft a far more polished and organic product than the Sleep Science model Costco is selling. However, 10" of natural latex for $1000 shipped/installed free and with the legendary Costco return policy can't be beat. Anybody received theirs yet? How is it? What's the catch? Is the zippered case doused in nasty flame retardants? Is the "natural" latex actually 80% synthetic? Does the mattress smell bad and take forever to off-gas / outgas?

Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| It does seem too good to be true, and I'm also waiting for reports from those who bought it and how they like it. The burning question in my mind is . . . . what's the source of the latex, and is it that cheap stuff with fillers? |
Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| I am very skeptical whether this is actually all 100% natural sourced rubber. for the cost it really doesn't seem possible. and there are a lot of companies out there that tend to mislabel things, I have seen a lot of pillows that were blended latex come in packaging that says 100% natural latex, or "Natural Latex" and then just list the benefits. |
Re: New Natural Latex Beds on Sale Now at Costco
| i'm considering ordering this bed before the sale is over in a week. i can't decide whether i should just get the mattress and use my old box spring with or without a plyboard. the problem is that i can't order the matching foundation later if i change my mind. not too sure that it would be easy to find a suitable foundation separately, later. would appreciate any suggestions. |

I would think that any traditional foundation would be suitable. I didn't order the slat foundation from Flobed when I got my latex mattress, I went down to my local mattress store and bought a regular foundation for $200 and had them deliver it. It's working fine. BTW I was browsing the Savvy Rest site FAQ and under their "Dunlop or Talalay?" link they make the following statement: "Some companies add “fillers” such as clay to make the latex go further. (If you find a Queen natural latex mattress for $1000 or less, there are fillers.)" This really makes me wonder whether the latex in these Costco beds has fillers. The price is *so* much lower than what the established latex mattress companies are offering. Has anyone ordered and had one delivered yet? If so, what's your experience been? |
