I have been reading many of the posts on this forum but I am no closer to an answer. My son is moving out of his crib into a twin bed. For his 2nd birthday I am making over his nursery to be a big boy room. I want to make this redo as "green" as possible and not be adding a bunch of chemicals to his room. The mattress part of this project just has be stumped. I believe I want a 100% natural latex mattress, firmer core and softer top, and wool or other natural cover. No flame retardant chemicals! However being a thrifty mama I am having a hard time with the prices I have seen from Flobeds and others recommended here. I thought about foam by mail but I'm a little leary of them. Anyone have a recommendation (even better a link!) for a twin size latex mattress hopefully under 600? Or at least close to it? Also it can't be a super mattress because it is going on a bottom bunk bed. Many thanks! I need to purchase something asap because his birthday is in a couple weeks. |

See I knew if I asked the right people I could find what I am looking for! I want quality latex for my son but it was hard stomaching 1K price tags for a two year old! Ok I really want to order this tomorrow to make sure its here in time for his birthday room makeover. Last questions and I promise I will leave you guys alone. Any thoughts on whether I should do dunlop or talalay? Seems more people on this forum go for the talalay. Also what firmness do I want? I know with adults you take into account sleep position and weight. My kid sleeps every which way and only weighs 23 lbs. Bless his heart he is such a peanut for his age. But I know he will get much bigger over the years. I've read alot of posts about people buying for adults but not toddlers. Any help is appreciated! Thank you again! |

Mattress received today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received mattress that I ordered a little over two weeks ago. Since they don't usually keep the 6" talalay cores in stock they said it would be a little extra time. When my order was going to be delayed they called and asked if that was OK or if I needed to cancel my order. They also called again to say it was shipping. Great customer service. So when I got my order today it was beautifully packaged. I think the box said it weighed 55lbs so I moved it into the bedroom myself. I had ordered the 6 inch med core with terry cover (to stay in my small budget) but when I opened the box there was the 6" core with organic cotton and wool zipper cover!!! It didn't look exactly like what they showed on the website so maybe it was a random extra they had around??? Either way I'm thrilled. They did offer me several cover options when I was ordering but I mentioned the budget I was staying in and there was absolutely no pressure to push me to spend more. I look forward to ordering from them again as soon as I have the money to upgrade my bed! Sleepez was a pleasure to work with.
Did I mention my son's new mattress is very very comfortable?!?! |
