I'm looking to switch to a king size 100% natural latex mattress without any chemical additives, flame retardants, etc I've been researching for weeks but it feels like the more I read the more confusing it gets! There aren't any retailers nearby where I would be able to try out a mattress so I'm going to have to make a decision and cross my fingers that its not a $3k mistake! We are ~175lb people who side/stomach sleep and dont generally like a super soft mattress. I need to keep the price around $2500 or less. As of now I think I have narrowed the choices down to the following. Any help, reviews, comments, cheaper/better mattress suggestions - anything - that will help me feel confident in this decision would be very much appreciated!

Hi Heather--my husband and I drove up to the Natural Sleep Store yesterday and tried out Bella Sera, Savvy Rest, and Greensleep mattresses. We were very impressed with the quality as well as the knowledge of the salesperson (and the lack of sales pitch). We are leaning towards the Bella Sera Nove 3. My husband has back problems, is primarily a back sleeper and likes a firmer mattress, and I have neck problems, am mostly a side sleeper and like a slightly softer mattress. We didn't much like the pillow topper, and felt that the extra $800 wasn't worth it--rather get a mattress that has a soft top layer to begin with. Our current mattress is also natural, a Viviteque. It sucks, the quality is bad, and we are more than ready to replace it! We are also looking at iComfort mattresses and Tempurpedics for comparison. The Bella Sera, also being our favorite, is less expensive than either of the memory foam mattresses, not to mention cleaner environmentally too!
The Bella Sera that we tried was soft-med-firm on one side and soft-soft-med on the other. My husband was very happy with the S-M-F side, and I am vacillating betw. the 2. So be sure that you don't go too firm! The firmer mattresses were way too firm for me! I think the warranty on the Bella Sera is very good, esp. since you might only have to replace one layer to make the mattress work for you again. Our Viviteque (much more expensive 10 years ago than the Bella Sera is now) crapped out after about 8 years, so a 20 year warranty sounds great to me, even if it is pro-rated after 10 years. Also, we have a slat bedframe and like that we don't have to do anything different to accommodate the new mattress. The mattress seems to be made with excellent quality, esp. for the price.
Good luck!
