I was in a store today that had these, and their Tri-Zone mattress was quite nice. I like that they are made in the USA, but I cannot find any discussion about them here, or elsewhere.
Just wondering if anyone else had looked into to these, or perhaps has one. Thanks!

Gunman thanks for that information. Was this published in the news or something? I can't find any details about the closing.
Phoenix, did you find out any ILD numbers on their layers? Just curious, thanks! I know the general manager of the factory that Vangard tried to arrange manufactoring through. And I drove past their factory Monday of last week, the offices are dark and has a for lease sign on it. And to cap the rest off - the sales manager now works for Southerland bedding.

Well this was just too curious so I phoned them. The lady that I talked to said they were still in business and had planned this move for over a year and a half and that they were still manufacturing. The guy that moved to Southerland worked for them over a year ago and his name was also Jeff but not the same Jeff I talked to. She asked me if I wanted to talk with the Jeff I talked to but I didn't have anything more to ask him that I hadn't asked 2 weeks ago. I told her about this thread and she plans to post here to "set the record straight". She thanked me for telling her about it. If she does come here then you could ask her any questions about the Vital Rest or Vanguard directly. Phoenix |

Vanguard Mattress Corp. is not closed. We moved to a larger showroom and better manufacturing facility in late July 2010. our telephone number (see www.vanguardmattress.com) hasn't changed in over 6 years. i am kathryn branman and i am the owner of the company. if you have questions you are welcome to email us at info@vanguardmattress.com or telephone us at 714-447-3161. forums like these can be very helpful and i am sure that's what the moderators want. rumors (including the erroneous information i am seeing here about our products, the specifications - which we do not disclose - and prices) do not help consumers or genuine seekers of information. it is always best to consult the manufacturer directly and to listen to retailers who carry the product and consumers who are sleeping on the product. |

Thank you for setting the record straight. Also for the record ... the information I posted came directly from my notes regarding the specs and pricing and I wrote those notes during a lengthy conversation with Jeff. I was impressed with the build of the mattress and told him at the time that I thought that there was better value out there if the "amount of latex" was used as a comparison (I was looking for at least 9" of latex in a mattress) but that I thought this mattress would be of interest to some that were looking for a higher quality and not necessarily more latex. This was when he told me about the new line that was coming but he didn't have the details at the time. I think that basic information regarding the build and materials and amount of those materials in a mattress are basic questions that should be asked by every consumer and should be openly answered by every manufacturer. Why would this be a "secret". Phoenix |

I'm looking at my notes again and you may be right. I may have been quoting the price Jeff told me for the eco essentials that he didn't have the details for. He quoted me $1284 plus shipping for the eco essentials and then my notes say $1584 plus shipping beside the information about the Vital rest. This price could have been the eco essentials price with $300 shipping added so even though my notes seem clear to me, it's probably better to err on the side of caution and let people phone you for the prices if they don't have a dealer nearby. I apologize if the price I posted was wrong. The build information I posted was exactly what Jeff told me It would still be nice if your website included more specific information about your mattresses as other manufacturers do. While I understand not posting prices for the sake of your dealers, the build information in my view is important. Phoenix This message was modified Oct 6, 2010 by Phoenix

| Vanguard's VR Nature's Caress line is not yet on our website which has been under construction for 3 months. it should be up in about a week. you'll find most of the information you're looking for on this collection there, including where to buy. if you still have questions, please phone the factory: 714-447-3161. |
| Several of our retailers (store owners) sleep on the Vital Rest Pure & Natural Trizone - contact the factory and we can put you in touch. 714-447-3161. |

Are you running your own factory or are you having another factory make your merchandise for you under your name. If we check the law lable who's registry number will we find?
