After MANY issues, and 3 mattress replacements on the Sleep to Live bed in less than 1 year, due to sagging. My husband and I decided to go the latex route. We were only allowed a store credit with Sleepys, otherwise I would have ran full speed ahead to Sleepez for my bed. We settled on a Sleep Options 11" latex bed from Sleepys. The bed is made by Classic Sleep. Does anyone have experience with this bed? We bought ours last week. The mattress was delivered Friday, the box springs were wrong, so that was rescheduled to deliver on Sunday. When the delivery people brought the box springs in, the mattress was snagged in their moving process. I called customer service because I wanted it noted, so as to not cause my warranty to be voided. Sleepys MADE me accept delivery of a new mattress Monday afternoon, if I didn't accept the new one, my warranty would be voided. In came the new mattress. What I've noticed is the first mattress was softer than the second. I've only slept on the second mattress for one night, but it is much firmer to me. This is suppose to be a plush mattress, but I'm not getting that feeling. Also, the first mattress took 2 days to come up to full size when it was taken out of the box. The second mattress took only a few minutes. The specs are as follows;
I'm 5'6 and weigh between 140-150 (depending on bloat and my natural weigh fluctuations). My hubby is 6'4 and weighs about 205. My question is; are these good beds? I'm very worried. I fell in love with the Pure Latex Bliss Nutrition 11", but it was $1300 more than the Sleep Options. Budget is a factor for us. I've been told the bed needs a "break in" period, which does concern me. If it needs to "break in" then doesn't that ultimately mean sagging will follow? There is also a $400 comfort exchange fee, and the only bed I would exchange for would be the Pure Latex, which would bring the cost UP to $1700. I could get a whole new mattress from Sleepez at that price. Insights PLEASE, it looks like I'm stuck. I hope I grow to like the mattress, and if I don't, then I'll keep my fingers crossed that a 1.5" sag develops so the mattress will fail inspection, and we can get back to the drawing board. Thanks for your help and insights, as I can't seem to find a single review on this mattress anywhere. This message was modified May 10, 2011 by serehya

After spending most of my day looking around online for a talalay topper at a very reasonable price. I came across this site. I can get a 3" twin size piece to soften my side of the bed, while leaving my husbands side firm, and it's only $173. Not a bad price at all. Their dog beds are dirt cheap too! I have a few dogs, and I usually get their beds for an astronomical price from LL Bean.

I received my 3" 20 ILD talalay topper from FBM yesterday to put on top of this Sleep Options mattress. All I can say is my lower back pain is gone, after only one night, I slept like a baby. It was so comfortable!!!! I normally need an adjustment period when I sleep on a new surface. There was no adjustment period needed with this topper. It felt amazing to sleep on! The only down side, I now sleep 3" higher than my hubby. Hopefully we'll order him a firm topper soon for his side, not for comfort, as the dunlop top layer on our mattress is comfortable him, it would be just so we can we sleep on the same level! I think in a year or two I may buy my 2 year old son a topper for his very basic Poly foam mattress with only a thin comfort layer on top. Right now he's so light it doesn't matter, but eventually I think he'll love one! I'm a complete talalay latex convert. Never will I sleep on anything else again. My next mattress will definitely be 100% talalay latex 3 or 4 layers. YAY to soft Talalay!!!!!! |
| I got my FBM order yesterday as well and loving it. The piece that I got looked very nice. I'll probably order another 2" topper for more comfort. |
| How long did you have to wait for you order? I waited about 13 days. |

So glad to hear that you are both liking your FBM 20 ILD toppers. What kind of sleepers are y'all (stomach, side, or back)? I was thinking of going with just a 2" 20 ILD since we are stomach sleepers, but y'all are making me think now 3" may be the way to go with serehya liking the 3" version and need2sleep thinking of adding another 2" on top of the 2" one. Thanks, Cliff |

| Thanks. I say I am a stomach sleeper because I always fall asleep on my stomach, but I usally wake up on my back. I'm such a sound sleeper, I have no idea when I do that, so I don't know my percentages. |

Well I'm Basing These percentages on how often I'm aware of what position I'm in, which would be before I fall asleep and when I wake up |
