I am hoping to order a latex mattress in the near future and am strongly leaning towards foambymail as their prices fit my budget best.  I know about the ongoing debate over where foambymail gets their latex from, but I'm willing to accept that. 

Any feedback from users who have ordered a latex mattress or topper from foambymail would be much appreciated.

Haysdb, that is interesting. More squirly-ness from FBM -- if you buy from ebay , they give you 60 days, but do not refund the $35 flat shipping fee.

FYI: If you purchase (most things) with your AMEX, they offer return protection.  Basically, if the merchant won't take the item back, up to 90 days after purchase, AMEX will take care of it for you.  There is a $300 max per item, and you probably need to ship it back to the merchant w/ tracking/delivery confirmation.  I purchased my mattress with my AMEX, in case the 30 days isn't enough for me to decide, or FBM tries any funny stuff.

Finally received my FBM mattress, picked it up from UPS.  Mine came in a box, which was barely in tact when I received it, but there was a box, with a packing slip attached to the outside.  Inside, packaged all smushed up, my mattress wrapped in shrink wrap.  I am going to put my new bed together tonight or tomorrow, and then open the mattress.

I will report back once it is all set up and I have spent a few nights on it.

how is it?

Could you repeat which exact mattress you purchased AND your weight height?

thanks!

Yah size and weight would be great, I just received a 36lbs 3" 5.5lbs/ft^3 queen memory foam topper which should have been about 46lbs.  And did you order through ebay or their website?  Thanks

FYI, The color of FBM's 5 lb memory foam is pink. They only have one pink foam as far as I am aware.

Just an FYI, my 3" FBM which was not the top density model (I guess the 4.5 is the lower model) is PINK.  However, as it ages it slowly has turned orange on the more exposed side. Strange eh?

I stand corrected. This page calls their 4.5 lb foam "white memory foam" and the 5.5 lb foam "pink memory foam" and here are their pictures:

It looks like they sent me by mistake the more dense foam!  Not that it made a difference on my cheaperpedic.  I did order the 4.5, and they sent me the pink one.

As I said the pink has turned to a yellow/orange. Not sure this is normal?

That is what happened to my Sensus also.  The pink stuff does not like daylight.
