Greetings: I am shopping for a new mattress and narrow down to 2 type, Latex $1600 (Dr Breus, no specification found) and memory foam Queen Supreme comfort (Sleep Science) ~ $2400 without frame. The Sleep Science specification seems to be superior to Tempur Pedic in density and offer a 20 years warranty sagging equivalent to TP. I can't find any specification for Dr Breus and am not sure if the mattress has several layers of Latex or has a core foam then the top layer is latex. My wife and I weight about ~120 lbs each. Since we are both side and back sleeper (50/50), I lean toward the memory foam. Thinking that it will allow more sinking thus having a better posture. Is my assumption wrong? I have tried a memory foam and Dr Breus mattress at a local Sleepys store and it seems to confirm my above theory (memory foam allow more sinking). I feel less pressure when turning to the side on a memory foam than a latex mattress. Is this just my imagination or a fact? My family also has Tempur Pedic mattress and I heard they complaint about the heat issue which doesn't bother me and sagging. However, I can't afford their mattress due to the price ~$4000. Any comment to help me pick the right one is greatly appreciated. Queen Supreme Comfort

That's very true ... they are a private for profit company that tends to down rate companies that don't choose to become a member but if a company does choose to become a member and shows evidence that they are taking care of customer complaints, then it does give one indication that they have some concern about customer satisfaction. It also gives you leverage if something does go wrong. Phoenix PS: if you've had a chance to read the other thread you will see it's been confirmed that the Dr Breus is almost all poly with just a bit of latex in it ... 20% This message was modified Nov 17, 2010 by Phoenix

I don't think 6.5" of memory foam would work for me, even with some of it being fairly high density. I am pretty sure I would sink in too far, so not enough lower back support. You both are much lighter than me, so that probably would help. I tried one of the Sleep Science that had 2" of 5lb memory foam, and the quality seemed pretty good. It is also pretty unusual to use the high density memory foams they do. It seems similier to the TP Allura, which I liked laying on for 10 minutes. Not sure how it would work over night. The reviewers on the Costco website seem to like it, and Costco has the best return policy around. The one I bought ended up being too firm. I returned it, and it did not cost me a thing. Have you slept on your family's TP? What model is it? I would try laying on something like the Allura as long as you can, to see how you like it. If your family doesn't like their mattress, they should give you a much better price. No way they can sell it used for what they paid for it. |

FWIW ... I decided I didn't want to wait for an email with the information about the chirosleeper so I called them back. The 8lb visco is Foamex Venus (was hoping he would surprise me and say it was Aerus as I haven't seen it in 8lb anywhere) The 5lb visco is Foamex Sensus It can be purchased without going through a chiropractor and he quoted me $1800 for a queen which I would assume is not their "best price" since it wasn't a serious "I'm buying it now" conversation. Seems reasonable to me ... at least in comparison to other good quality memory foam mattresses ... considering it is using what I consider to be top tier memory foams and also has 3" of talalay.

Sleep Science memory foam mattress is manufactured by SOUTH BAY INTERNATIONAL. I purchased the Supreme 14.5" mattress through a reseller and had it freighted to my home. After a few months while re-arranging my bedroom I tore the cover. I was very disappointed. So, I started the process of finding and ordering one. I contacted SOUTH BAY INTERNATIONAL, who still makes the bed for resellers, and tried to order the replacement for my $2100 SOUTH BAY INTERNATIONAL mattress. At first I was told that the cover was not available. I became irritated and told them that I was going to what I am doing here, let everyone know that South Bay International does not support it's products or customers. I was told to hold one minute and was then forwarded to Diana. Diana promised me that the cover would be in within 8 weeks. So I wait the 8 weeks and call back and speak to Diana again. |
