I have seen several postings on why Sleepez seem to offer the same products at lower prices than the competitors, and I just wanted to offer my observations. 1st, I have been sleeping on Sleepez's Organic Select 10000 with matching foundation for about a week and I absolutely love it! I highly recommend it to anyone who is "on the fence" or thinking that the more expensive brand is better quality. 2nd. For anyone considering purchasing a Flobed or other higher priced bed because they think that it will be a higher quality product, please do your research first. I believe Sleepez mentions on their website that they use the exact same manufacturers as the big S brands. This means almost identical mattresses! Also, look at Latex International's website. They have a product page where they list all the companies that they manufacture for, and Flobeds as well as a number of other companies are LI's clients. There is no difference in the latex being used in Sleepez's much cheaper beds than Flobeds or any of the others! http://www.latexfoam.com/index.php?did=11#2 Save your money, buy a Sleepez! I've slept better in the last week than I have my entire life! |

Eagle2, I am still happy with my FloBed and figured the bad smell was from the new latex topper that Dave normally does not sell but tried to find for me to make me happy with 1.5" of cushion instead of the convoluted 2" of cushion that the convoluted latex topper is that comes with the bed that I know so many people love. I am just not quite 5 feet and not much more than 100 pounds so I needed less cushion so I could feel the support underneath the cushion. Since I sleep on my side I found out that I could not sleep on the latex cores without the topper on them. I love both sides of my bed now and find it the most comfortable bed I ever owned. I also love my latex pillows. NONE of my latex exchanges had any noticeable odor except the slight sweet smell that latex has when new but it was very mild. It was that new big Queen size topper (that FloBeds does not normally sell) that stunk up my home. Even after my 90 days, Dave let me do another latex core exchange for another Super Firm latex core that was in the blended when I found at that the natural latex cores were 3" and the blended latex cores were 2.8" so my bed was not the same height. He knew I had the car accident and my father died and now I wanted my bed even firmer than I had it before. I felt this was great customer service. then I called Dave and told him I still wish my bed was a bit firmer now that I am having back problems from the car accident. Dave told me he would extend the 90 day exchange policy one more time to let me do two more latex core exchanges to exchange a 34 ILD and a 36 ILD latex core for two 37 ILD latex cores that were brand new and just arrived the day before since I waited patiently until he found two X-Firm latex cores that averaged above 36 ILD. I am in the middle of another deadline that is over with tonight so I am just checking in as I finally had a breather between clients. I just edited the above post (had some typos like 1.2" rather than 1.5" and I also added some new information now that I had more time to type) now that I have quit for the night and will focus back on my deadlines tomorrow. Hopefully the post makes sense since it is late and I am tired and can't wait to get some sleep. This message was modified Apr 21, 2010 by Lynn2006

| Well, going back to differences...bigjsmiles...you are missing a few more...FloBeds offers a VZone option bed, which is customized to how the different parts of your body need different levels of support. I purchased this bedand both my husband and I love it! Also, they include a 2" convoluted topper, and SleepEZ does not. Not everyone loves the topper, but many do and it is another option anyway which is nice to have. We happen to love ours however, ...my husband flipped his upside down and mine is rightside up. Other that these two, I think Lynn, Kimberly and eagle2 accurately covered the other points. By the way, I have the natural/organic bed and mine, too had that sort of sweet cookie dough smell to it when we got it. It didn't last long and wasn't noticeable inside the zippered cover, but we found it pleasant as well. So...having options to customize your mattress as well as options for trading out layers numerous times is why many of us are such big FloBeds fans! |
