We purchased the Select Sleep 10000 Queen in Nov 2011. We got a split design with my husband's side being firmer than my side. There was no additional charge for this feature. I really liked the help I was given to make the selection of the mattress as both of us are older and we have some back issues. Since my husband is much larger I was delighted to find out that I could finally get to sleep on a mattress that wasn't too hard for me (that's always been the case to accommodate his weight).

The mattress came in three layers with the cover. It was well packaged and although it took two of us it was easy to unpack. We had been told we might need some time to adjust to latex but in our case after the first night we knew we both slept better. This was our first time laying on latex and I can't describe how wonderful it felt. The key for us was the support it gave to our backs without feeling hard. We're really happy and wished we'd discovered latex sooner.

Before you jump into latex mattress, be aware of what you are getting into. My take is this. If you are not particular with mattress type and firmness, then you probably can get easy fit with latex mattress. And go for it for the less chemical in the latex material. On the other hand, if you have back issue and have problems with other mattress types (springs, memory foam, etc), then you will likely find the same issue with latex. You can customize the latex firmness to fit your liking. But the problem is that most latex mattress sellers (like Sleep EZ) are online and next to impossible to test out in person. So if you cannot try out the latex mattress before you buy, make sure you can swap out or return.

I purchased Sleep EZ 10000 in Queen size last year June 2011.

Sleep EZ has 90 days swap out and also return policy. It took me more than 90 days to get the custom fit right. Good thing they were not strict on the 90 days.

Sleep EZ only allows one swap at a time. This seems like a reasonable rule, but I found this doesn't work for me. The reason is that there are 3 layers to 10000, and all 3 layers work together to provide the final firmness. So by switching only 1 layer at a time, I cannot tell the final firmness and fit. In the end, I did 6+ swap outs. And I ended up getting one of the layer that I had returned previously. If Sleep EZ allowed more than one swap at a time, I probably would have needed less swap outs to find the final firmness to my liking. This would have reduce the cost on swap out, both for Sleep EZ and me.

I am 5'10" 175 lbs. I prefer firmer mattress. I was able to try out Savvy Rest at a local store. And I used online fit selector at flobeds plus talked to Shawn (SleepEZ) over the phone. I started with firm dunlop at bottom, firm dunlop for middle, and medium talalay blend on top. After trial and error with the dunlop and talalay, I find that talalay blend is not right for me. Then I had to determine the firmness with dunlop. I ended up with a much firmer setup: x-firm dunlop at bottom, firm dunlop at middle and top.

The starting point was way off in my case. There is no way to duplicate the Savvy Rest setup with Sleep EZ, because the feel/firmness are not the same. Shawn is very friendly and tries to help, but there is no way for him to identify the right firmness for my personal fit over the phone. Getting the right fit is pain in the ass (or liternally pain in the back). After switching the layers on my bed or swapping out new layers, my back ached for a week. I had to wait to make sure the back pain is not due to sleeping on mattress but due to the handling.

Lastly, I can feel the seam down the middle of the mattress for the split, even with 1" mattress cover padding. Well, if I lie down on the mattress, it compresses. And as I sleep in the middle of queen bed, the side where I put more weight on will be compress more than the 2nd side. And when I turn, sometimes I get this falling feeling as the compression and support between the 2 splits changes. So I ended up going to single piece without split for the top. Obviously this limits the firmness customization for 2 sleepers.

I have had this queen mattress for about 6 months now. I had the cores split, extra-firm, firm, medium for me and firm medium, soft for my wife. I have low back problems. I also bought the pine slat foundation from Sleep EZ. There was no problem putting it all together. This is a great mattress. I love sleeping on it and my wife likes it also. A couple of things. One of the cores had a about a 3 inch tear starting on the edge of the side. The tear went most of the way through the core. I called Sean and he offered to replace it but said I could just glue it with some latex glue which is what they would do if they got it back. I decided to glue it myself. The second thing is that if you toss and turn, the two halfs come apart leaving a small valley down the center of the mattress. You can always open the mattress cover and reposition the cores but if I had it to do again, I would get one full (not split) queen sized layer for the top. I think this would stop the halfs from coming apart. This is probably why Flobeds has that corrugated soft layer as always the top layer.
