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

| 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 |

Thanks, Cliff LTFM, I am mostly a side sleeper, and occasionally a back sleeper. I move ALL night long, plus I'm a light sleeper, so I tend to wake myself when I'm changing positions. As for the 3" 20 ILD, it was comfy in all positions. My hubby is a back sleeper (which I think is similar to a back sleeper), and he prefers a firmer bed, he's 6'4" and 205 lbs. My side is too soft for him. Then again, he doesn't like the feeling of something surrounding him while he sleeps, it over heats him. |
