| 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 so glad I found this forum! Brenda |
| Hey Jason, what mattress is that odd looking gray latex used in? Ive seen many different samples of synthetic latex and they are all white. |

I don't think I have posted on this yet. Anyway, I think this sounds like a really great latex mattress for the price. I like the fact that it can be adjusted by turning it over, and I like the fact that it has CostCo's return guarantee (I assume). As to Natural latex, I have never slept on it, but I once layed on one and I liked the feel of it better than Talalay (and yes it was "jungle" latex, from some 3rd World country, perhaps the same as this one). I think you can't go wrong with this bed if you can return it for zero or minimal charge. Am interested to see how you like it. I wish they'd sell some toppers of this material at those cut rate prices! |

I’ve been a lurker here for a couple months since we started looking for a king mattress. We decided to go for this Costco Latex Mattress. I was planning on waiting to post after we’ve slept on it a few nights, but I know the Costco discount ends on Sunday night.
Order placed 12/7, order shipped 12/14, delivery to house this morning on 1/2.
We read the only Costco review and they had problems with the delivery. Based on their experience of the guys snagging and tearing the mattress, we asked if they could leave the mattress in the box until it was in our upstairs bedroom. Reluctantly, they obliged. This thing was heavy and unwieldy. My wife really thinks one of the gentlemen delivering this king sized beast might have soiled himself getting this thing up the stairs.
We have a 3” LI Talalay 100% natural topper for my 2 yr old daughter’s bed and I’d say this is a vastly different feel. We got it from FoamSweetFoam. The ILD for the “medium” topper was claimed to be 24-28. For starters this Dunlop mattress is much denser and although the Costco site says the softest part is a 19 ILD, the Talalay seems much softer and springier. I think the Costco mattress is much firmer than the Talalay topper.
We ultimately decided to buy the foundation, which I’m happy we did. It’s actually pretty beefy and will be a much more solid foundation than a box spring in my opinion. It’s constructed of 1” square steel. Yes, the plastic “cardboard” that covers the foundation does seem cheap, but I think it serves its purpose in evenly distributing the load across the steel foundation. Assuming we sleep well tonight, I intend to get the twin set for my 4 yr old son.

| Guess I waited too long to make a decision...looks like only the twin sizes are left. I'll have to wait for the next sale, though I'd definitely be interested in any short or long-term reviews in the meantime. |

Ordered mine just before the sale ended. Hopefully receive ship notice soon. Can anyone provide the total HEIGHT of the foundation AND mattress? link doesn't seem to be available on costco site. And Randy, were you saying your arm is falling asleep with the new latex mattress or only with the tempur? I'm sure hoping this works, my next option is to try a Tempur Classic or the 14" Celeste from Costco BTW, any recommendation on a good mattress cover for this? I assume we want water resistant and thin. thanks! |
