HELP!
I found the prices are great but I hope some of you have bought from this place. I am afraid to order without hearing from previous buyers.

Thanks!

It would take some initiative . . but you could try entering foambymail in the forum search box.

I read the threads on this company and they sound like they're "Okay" but a little squirrely in my humble opinion.
Sounds like a case of "you get what you pay for". It's an "off brand" of latex of decent quality and their ILD's seem to be hard to pin down, not very delineated.
They seem to not say exactly where their latex comes from or who makes it.
I'd personally avoid them, unless you are on a severe budget and they are a lot cheaper than anyone else. I have not dealt with them nor even looked at their web site but I read this bunch of posts about them:

It was the first company I contacted 1 1/2 years ago when I started looking at/for latex. Never could get straight answers so gave up. Life's too short.

I have purchased from them, and my concern on a future order is wondering if I would actually get what I ordered from them as far as ILD goes.  In my opinion, the low price is not worth the risk.  Maybe you will get lucky and get what you ordered, maybe not.

I bought a latex mattress from FBM several months ago, and love it.  I would definitely order from them again, although I've heard some negative things.

I have 6" of their firm latex, on a flex slat foundation, and sleep great every night.  Under $400 for a full mattress - can't beat it.

UPDATE............

I ordered my son a Full Size 6 inch Medium(32 ILD)  Talalay Core and a 2 inch SOFT (20 ILD) Talalay Topper from Foambymail.com after weighing the cost against the doubts about them.
Well, it all arrived in about 6 business days and was VERY well packaged in a vacuum packed bag that was wrapped a hundred times in plastic wrapping and then wrapped in cardboard Boxes. No damage at all and everything unpacked nicely.
I paid a grand total of $479 and that included a very nice mattress cover in a terry cloth (Feels like velour almost) that is very nice and has a strong zipper (The Terry Cloth costs $20 extra but worth it!) .
 I let them air out overnight and even tested the topper on my King size Latex bed (Dunlop)  and loved it and will probably order the Soft topper for the King.
The Mattress and topper are exactly what they described on the website, this is talalay and it is good quality. While they don't tell you WHO they get the Latex from, they do swear by it being US made, even in an email reply they say it is USA made all the way. Rather than get hung up on the LI craze and worry that they get so called Jungle Latex, I decided to try them and see for myself. I am totally impressed and I am comparing the quality to my King Sized Dunlop mattress.
They have the lowest prices as far as I could see and this feels great. I would by from them again and probably will this week to get the King Topper.
If anyone is looking at buying from them let me know and I can email you pictures of the Latex.

The $479 was the Total for the Full mattress and 2 " topper with Shipping free!
