Sleep Science Latex Comfort 10"

We bought the Latex Comfort in December 2012. We have a Costco foam topper we put on top of it, otherwise it might be too firm, like I saw posted on the Costco website by other buyers of this mattress. When the mattress decompressed, one corner of the mattress seemed to be an inch or two lower due to it being rolled up and compressed since January of 2012. Apparently, it had been stored compressed for about a year. After two days, the corner was still lower. I am still using it and figure it would not matter as long as I have pillows. Other than that, I have to problems with the bed. We made our own frame out of a steel frame, two-by-fours, one-by-fours and particle board for a cost of about $90. There was no smell at all when we decompressed the bed. The only smell we have is of the particle board, which we painted first (it still smells---the chemicals in the particle board are probably toxic, no doubt!). We put a plastic sheet between the mattress and the particle board so that nothing would leach into the mattress. I wish my husband would have used plain old plywood instead. Too late now.
We sleep fine on the mattress. It takes a little getting used to, but I like it better than the traditional box springs and mattress we had, which was a sagging wreck after 12 years of use at a cost 12 years ago of $1,100.00. The Latex Comfort was on sale for $799, which was $200 off the regular price. Now I can't find it online on the Costco website. It was Item #564861. I don't know if they discontinued carrying it or if South Bay International, the maker of Sleep Science Latex Mattress discontinued making it.
I have a 20 Year Limited Warranty from South Bay International on the mattress. That's a lot better than you can get on a box springs and mattress. The most I've seen on them is a 10 year limited warranty, IF you can find one with a warranty at all!
I'm happy with my purchase and hope the mattress lasts as described.
Date Purchased: December 2012
Price Paid: $0
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Latex memory foam
No box springs
No springs in the mattress
Adjusts to my body
No lingering smell in the latex
I sleep better on it
Bed doesn't jiggle around like my mattress & box springs did
Cons:
Hard to handle and turn, but that's OK
Heavy, but that's OK, too. It has substance! |

It took about 4-5 nights to get use to the firm control of the form, however, from then on it has been "a dream" to sleep on it each night. I do not wake with any discomfort in my back as I have had a very sensitive back since back surgery many years ago. I would recommend this bed to any one who wishes a firm, but very comfortable bed.
Date Purchased: 10/2011
Price Paid: $0
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
It conforms to the body with such little pressure. I can sleep on my side, stomach and back with comfort, which I could not do on an ordinary mattress.
Cons:
None |

Our first sleep science bed purchased from South Bay International, Inc. in Pomona Ca (through Costco online) came right out of the shrink wrap smelling like mold. We returned it and received another. My husband just found that the entire underneath side of our bed which we have been sleeping in for over a year (with our 2 year daughter), is COVERED in MOLD. Our daughter wheezes at night and I have been fighting a sinus infection for over a month, which won't go away even with antibiotics. There is no other mold in our home and nothing was EVER spilled on the bed. Both Costco and the manufacturer, South Bay International, Inc. are refusing to acknowledge they are continuing to sell a faulty dangerous product. BEWARE.

We purchased the queen size Costco Sleep Science 10" Natural Latex Mattress in July of 2010. The delivery team was wonderful; they placed the mattress on the foundation, moved it to our specifications, and removed all of the packaging.
After reading several reviews, we chose NOT to buy the Sleep Science foundation. We ordered an oak platform bed from Platformbeds.com.
This mattress appears very well made. For the first week or so, it seemed a bit too firm, although we slept quite well, with no back pain whatsoever. (Our old bed was a softside waterbed with a memory foam topper, so any bed would have probably felt hard!) We are presently using this mattress with a 1" talalay topper and a wool mattress topper. Even without the toppers, this mattress sleeps much, much cooler than the waterbed with memory foam topper.
We have now had the mattress for four months and are very happy with this purchase.
Date Purchased: July/2010
Price Paid: $1100
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Comfortable - no back pain.
Well made, looks nice.
Good price for 100% latex.
Cons:
Made in China. |

Our two Costco Sleep Science beds were delivered on Saturday morning! Here's my review:
First, about the delivery. I found the delivery company to be professional and friendly. They called to schedule the delivery, called again when they were on their way and arrived on time (a little early even). They assembled the foundations on my front lawn and seemed to know what they were doing; they were quick and efficient. They set up the beds in the order I requested and exactly as I instructed. I have absolutely no complaints.
Second, the foundations. They are made of metal tubing, with plastic top panels to support the mattress and then all covered with a cloth cover. They seem very sturdy and since these two beds are for my kids, I have no doubt they will be more than adequate. The cover has tan sueded material around the edges to match the lower part of the mattress cover and together they look nicely matched.
Third, the mattresses. I can't imagine how anyone would describe them as too hard or firm. They are too soft for my husband and I (we are larger people), but should be fine for our kids. I do find them comfortable for brief lounging and snuggling with the kids, but just about bottom out at the edge when sitting to get in or out of the bed (for reference, I am 5'-7" and 240 lbs). I haven't slept in one all night yet, but my husband did and said it was too soft, but still better than our awfull inner-spring that we are about to replace. He had some minor back pain upon moving around the next morning. The cover is nice thought nothing spectacular. The upper portion is white cotton material, the lower is tan sueded material. I haven't opened them up, so can't comment on the interior. They were delivered already inside the mattress cover and rolled up in a plastic casing. The delivery men cut open the casing right on top of the foundation. They said it would take about 2 hours for it to fully decompress, but I didn't notice much of a difference 2 hours later. The mattresses definitely have a latex smell. I've heard others describe it as sweet or cookie dough-ish, but I didn't not find it that pleasant. It also wasn't a foul odor, just noticeable. Once they had been sitting a while and had the Luna mattress pads and sheets on them it was only detectable by putting your nose right into the mattress. I found they smell almost exactly like the JC Penney latex pillows I recently purchased, so I don't think their smell was unusual or indicitive of a quality issue.
Overall, I think was a good buy (for smaller people, or those who like soft beds). These are our first latex mattresses and I love the substance and weight of them. So much nicer than the bouncy-ness of an inner-spring mattress.
Edited to Add: We will be returning the foundations that we purchased along with these mattresses. They are shoddily constructed and are already falling apart. We are still happy with the mattresses themselves, just not the foundations!
Date Purchased: 4/2010
Price Paid: $1100
Recommend: Yes |
Pros:
Price!
100% Dunlop latex
Cons:
I wish the layers were interchangeable instead of being glued together.
Foundation sold with the mattress is cheap and not adequate support for the mattress! |
