After the previous thread of how much we hate our NovaForm Gel mattress (hard as a rock, yet touted as /normalplush), I started looking at other mattresses from Costco. Sooooo, who is Sleep Science and should they be considered? They have what they are calling a pillowtop (which in a foam mattress seems redundant) Hybrid Bliss
Or they have a Pillow top Ara:
Thoughts? |

6 5/8" memory foam in that Ara bed? Geez that's a lot of memory foam. Maybe it offers enough support, but good chance it would be too soft, your hips / shoulders would sink in too much leading to spine misalignment. Maybe. This message was modified Oct 16, 2011 by a moderator

Sleep Science is a brand made by South Bay International which is located in Pomona,CA. Go to their website to find more info on them as a business and the products they offer. I called them today and asked that they email us the specs on their new Hybrid Bliss and the 10" Latex Comfort. I have spent SO MUCH TIME (LOL!!!) looking for a new mattress it is almost pathetic. I've been all over the gambit from memory foam to latex to build your own and have finally narrowed it down to the two mattresses mentioned above. Probably the main reason is Costco's fabulous return policy. Concerning the Hybrid Bliss, the woman I spoke with today told me that it just came out into the market - that the first people that had ordered it were just receiving the mattresses now - so that could explain why there are no reviews on it. SS uses Dunlop latex (80% natural / 20% synthetic) and I asked her for the ILD (IFD) for the '2 inch medium latex' layer. She told me over the phone that is was '15 ILD.' That doesn't sound right. I've checked our email several times today to see if they sent the spec sheets - nothing yet. |

| Is it a soft or medium or firm feeling mattress? |

Robertwhite, As for Sleep Science and the requested spec sheets -they emailed the cut-a-way mattress images that accompany each mattress on Costco's website. Unfortunately, no additional questions are then answered. I know I am not the only person asking for specific densities/ILD's etc...so right now I am a little soured on Sleep Science. Wish I had more info to offer the forum.... |

I think the quality of the Sleep Science memory foam is pretty good, based on my experience. I used a 2" memory foam topper for many years (bought at Costco), that I liked. I also tried one of their mattress that had 2" 5lb. memory foam over 2" latex over PU foam. The memory foam had a nice feel, but overall the mattress was too firm, so I returned it. Not sure if they have changed the quality of the memory foam since I tried it. They were pretty good about delivery, etc. I think there have been complaints about their foundation, so I would probably avoid that.

Hi Sandman, I had a few questions about your experience with Sleep Science hybrid if you have a moment. LONG story short, we took a chance on the Sealy Embody Introspection a few months ago b/c my husband doesn't like the feel of traditional Tempurpedic memory foam. He likes it with a quicker recovery time- less deep slow sinking, slightly bouncier. Which the Introspection was. We LOVED it for about 8-10 weeks. But, now it's already softening and sinking a TON and the past several nights we're both having back pain again. We've tried 100% latex which I loved on paper, but in real life, just never worked out for us. I was researching the Tempurpedic Bellafina when I realized it was memory foam over latex over core b/c that helps give you the cush of memory foam, but a little more bounce back that other Tempurpedic models. Of course, the king set is like $3,400. Not out of the question, but steep. When we were looking a few months back, Sleep Science no longer had a memory foam / latex hybrid available, but I see it's back now on Costco! I just wondered how the one you had felt. You mentioned it was pretty firm? I think that's good for us b/c I am a stomach sleeper. I need a little cush, but mostly firm. I wondered if this bed had a quicker recovery time than other memory foam since it was sitting on the latex? If it felt supportive? Most importantly, I wondered how your Sleep Science 5lb memory foam beds or toppers have keep their support? Seems like this Introspection has just turned to mush in the last few months. It started out wonderful and now just doesnt have the same support at all, which is causing back pain. I'm hoping to find one that will keep it's support and firmness for a few years!!! No sinking and sagging! I'm thinking this Sleep Science hybrid might be a nice combo of memory foam and latex for us, the price is good at $1,149 kind mattress (would get the foundation elsewhere), and it's returnable forever on Costco if it didn't hold up. Would love any additional thoughts you might have on Sleep Science-- either the hybrid, their 5lb memory foam quality, or both!
MANY THANKS! |
