Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have been digging into the archives on my research for my next mattress. Both my fiance and I prefer the feel of spring mattress over latex and that's what we are considering at the moment. So far, I have learned from here is to avoid the plush/pillow tops as they tend to break down over a relatively short time. Also, the 3 "S" brands were not what they used to be. I have also get to learned about lesser known brands like Vi-Spring and Hypnos. These brands seem to be mythical and have no review at all anywhere. Are there any owners here who would like to share their thoughts? |

Thanks Budgy. At some point down the road I might be upgrading to a larger mattress, and move what I am currently using to a spare bedroom. I am a side sleeper and like it on the medium to soft side. From what I have tried, I think I prefer the spring+latex+something else soft combo to all latex. I am also liking the concept of having a good base coil / box spring system, with a seperate/customizable comfort layer. Vi-spring is not anywhere close to where I live, and does not have a seperate top layer (from I know). Might be too expensive as well. Hastens is at least nearby, and the very top layer might have some flexibility. A lot of built in fibre though and probably the most expensive option (although I don't know what a Vi-spring costs). Still, I will probably at least try a Hastens at some point to see what I might be missing. Maybe I can find a hotel that uses them. Royal-Pedic is nearby. They have a lot of cotton built into their basic model, so not sure how that will hold up over time. Still this might be a decent option. Green Sleep seems to have the least fibre, as you say. I viewed it not having the traditional high quality box spring as a possible negative, but sounds like it is better than I thought. I like the pocketed coil concept as more conforming, but not sure if fatigue on the most used coils would reduce the longevity. I have been told that they don't sell it without the pillow top layer, and I am not sure if theirs would work for me (if it is essentially dunlop). Still, I could not use it at all or possibly augment it with something. I think they have some retailers in I am not worried about using softer talalay, as long as it can be replaced. That will work better for me than dunlop.

| sandman, is there a Carpe Diem dealership in your area? They basically have a spring system very similar to the Hastens (both Swedish companies) but use a Talalay latex topper instead of the horsehair/cotton. I liked them better than the Hastens but to import one into Canada was just out of the question for my budget. |

I fell dead asleep for over an hour in the Conneticut showroom on a Carpe Diem, and as you know from my posts here, I haven't had a lot of success with latex yet their latex topper was just fine - maybe something to do with the spring system underneath??. |

I have owned a Hypnos Eminence for quite some time and love it ! It is the best bed I slept on, and before I purchased this bed I did extensive research on others ( hastens, Vi spring, natura, green sleep )
This is a well made product and has Royal warrants from the Queen to prove it !
we love ours ! |

I bought a Vispring Masterpiece bed in 2006 and I have to say it is the best bed I have ever slept on. It envelopes your body and provides you with the most comfortable sleep you'll ever have. And this is coming from a woman who has 2 different forms of severe degenerative scoliosis as well as a large piece of my L4 vertibrae missing from an accident. It is quite simply worth the money and if I ever choose to purchase another bed it will be another Masterpiece. |
