Mattress Forum

I thought you were not looking for latex anymore because it 'pushes back'?

Actually, the op is 100% correct. SavvyRest, Dunlop is of poor quality.  I would say it is like "Made in China" products. Reviewers on this forum have also complained about it sagging very soon. There is nothing inflammatory about op post.  By the way, I bought Sams club Organic latex mattress on yours and KimberlyH's recommendation and it turned out to be a nightmare.

Did I actually recommend you buy that specific mattress, or did I just say it sounds good for the price?

2nd Edit: Actually just read your posts...all 10 of them....first one was made about a month ago...heres the first sentence "I wish I had seen this forum before I made an unfortunate purchase of Innomax White night Organic latex mattress being sold at Samsclub web site. "

How could I or Kimberly have possibly recommended you bought that mattress if you were not on the forum?

100% Correct?

EDIT: ther than basically a handful of pretty bad reviews...the overwhelming response and reviews on this brand seem extremely positive.  Calling a mattress poor quality because it didn't work for a handful of people isn't too helpful....every mattress in the world is gonna have some negative reviews.  Its unfortunate...but its unavoidable.

Just what do you base you statement about Savvy Rest's poor quality latex on?  Have you slept on one?  Well, I have for a little over 3 years and you are TOTALLY off base.  All of my dunlop pieces were delivered in pristine condition and are in that same condition today. 

XYZ, 

I am still waiting for that apology. 

So, as I understand your post, you are dissing Savvy Rest because someone at one of the multitude of Savvy Rest retailers tried to sell you dunlop processed latex. 

The Savvy Rest site lists probably 50 retail outlets around the country selling their mattresses.  Savvy Rest dealers tend to be very "green".  Do you really think all of these health conscious establishments could stay in business if they sold inferior quality latex?

In my opinion, writing a review should be based on your personal experience with the company and or product of that company.  Not based on what you heard from one or even a few posts. 

   It seems as though everytime I read a comment in the forum from this person, I cant help but believe she or he has an agenda of some sort.  SavvyRest seems to be very reputable.  I am personally going to buy from SleepEZ, based on the fact that they are local, and pricing, however, I dont think one would go wrong with most of the companies that are regularly talked about in this forum when it comes to latex. 

Correction: I had seen this forum and after reading kimberelyh and your recommendation I bought the sams club mattress. You see I have been looking for reviews of Innomax mattress and I found a thread though it was not a review and that was the thread here on this forum. Yes, I have slept on Savvyrest dunlop at a friends house and I did not find it of high quality.

Now other people have not liked Tempurpedic mattress and other mattresses and have dissed them and correct me If I am wrong, but you have not criticized them. why is it that you are only criticizing now?

Well Well, after some reading of other posters posts,  I see that she/he has asked some help from you and you never bothered to reply to her/him? But you jump in gladly to criticize her/him?

Savvyrest is unbelievebaly expensive and Yes Sir, I too say that I find latex made in India is not so high quality. I find it odd that you find it offensive. Every one has their own opinions.

As far as your questions about Tempur-Pedic I am very quick to talk about the negatives of any polyurethane foam mattress including Tempur-Pedic.  The threads and comments that are made about Tempur-Pedic are also started by individuals that actually purchased the product and are making objective criticism.  If someone came along and started a thread about Tempur-Pedic and it was just called "Tempur-Pedic - don't buy it"  and they go on to explain that they like a soft bed and someone selling Tempur-Pedic recommended to them a firmer Tempur model like the Deluxe mattress instead of something like a Cloud Supreme, and then went on to criticise the brand because they perceive it to be expensive and not to buy the product simply because they didn't agree with the recommendation....I would take issue with that too.  

You are also making comments that are not based on objective information (assuming Indian made latex is of poor quality)...I usually ignore these kinds of things because I can't be bothered to try and comment on every little thing that happens on this website.  But when someone makes a thread about a product that most people are happy with and criticises the whole brand simply because they don't like the recommendation its really negative and not helpful to other people reading the forum. Also because some people may assume that after reading comments like this that all dunlop latex is incredibly firm, when in reality it can also be made fairly soft, soft enough in fact for most people.  

Cocolatex the guys that supply Savvyrest are the 2nd latex supplier in the world to be certified organic behind Latex Green of Sri Lanka.  I won't go so far as saying this means its better than other 100% natural dunlop rubber available but it certainly shows me that if they are willing to spend the money to get certified that they obviously go out of their way to ensure the purity and quality of their end product.  How do we know the reviews when people had issues with sagging it was not caused by excessive perspiration or inadequate bed frames/foundations? Or maybe it was really minor sagging from wool compaction that would happen to any other high quality latex mattress?

EDIT: A post I made on March 29th in a Tempur-Pedic thread:

"TDI (toluene diisocyanate) makes up about 2/3 of the weight of most poly foams, it is toxic. The other 3rd of the weight is some kind of polyol often polypropylene glycol, and then a 3rd required ingredient is some kind of blowing agent to act as a catalyst...the blowing agents used are usually the nastiest chemicals of the bunch but thankfully only make up maybe .5% of the end weight.  Most upholstery grade foam has other chemical additives like formaldehyde to increase its resistance to fire, as regular old poly foam is highly flammable. As far as what you are smelling...I am not sure...Tempur-Pedic does not disclose the exact list of ingredients used, I can only speculate based on how all other polyfoams are made.

The thing about most of these chemicals is that they are actually odourless...even if your mattress stops smelling....it is still giving off various hydrocarbons into the air, and some will ultimately also be absorbed transdermally through our skin.  Unless you LOVE the way these beds feel....I would recommend something with less chemical content.  "

I never said I hold anyone responsible for the sams club bed. I said I bought it because of that thread.  If someone does not like savvyrest, they should be free to say why. Everyone has their own opinion. Read one of the jimsocal? post where he said (even the softest) dunlop feels like sleeping on a rubber mat and yes he also agress that latex has a lot more pushback that some people may not like. If soft dunlop is so soft then why don't we see dunlop toppers selling on a wide scale?
