Search Results For "Natura Eco Rest"

Hi.. just thought I would put my two cents in here.. I did so much research about 3 years ago for the latex mattresses.. ended up with the Sealy Springfree.. loved it for the 1st year..then it seemed like the latex was getting strange.. the upper part of the mattress was so beautiful to lay on and conformed to every part of your body but I was un aware of what it was doing to me when I slept on it..  In the second year it began to bow across the middle and cause so much body pain it wasn't even funny..plus after much reading on latex I have learned that the latex is a powerful material.. as you lay on it the latex it continues to press on your body because it naturally wants to stay up, thus as your body sinks in it is pushing back.. the hip pain...

Thanks to everyone who's posted about their latex topper and mattress experiences, as well as opinions on different vendors.  I have now completed my own DIY latex mattress setup and thought I'd post my experiences.  About 6 years ago, I bought a twin extra-long 3" 100% natural Talalay topper from Foamsweetfoam.com.  (At the time, they were selling toppers--now, they don't.)  I bought mine for about $150, because it had some damage to it.  The damage wasn't anything I couldn't live with--a few tears, some dirt, etc.  I brushed it off, put it under a fitted sheet, and placed it on top of a way-too-hard (but very good) new Simmons Beautyrest mattress.  When I bought the topper, I was told it was "medium" in firmness and what most people bought.  I've used this setup for the past 6 years or so but found myself growing increasingly uncomfortable (probably age--late 50s, normal...

I have to whole heartedly agree with jwelch on Nature's Rest.  I have a Queen Nature's Rest "Vista" model, which incidently carries the Latex International Seal of Design and Manufacturing Excellence -- something I really never noticed until reading this thread.  The original price on that mattress was approx $3,300 at Filenes in 2002.  I was an employee and it had been marked down, so after multiple discounts I paid $750; had I known then what I know now, I would have happily paid $3,300!  That mattress is fabulous!  Unfortunately for my partner and I, we wanted to move up to a King size mattress in 2010 and I just could not find a Nature's Rest.  I tried Jordan's and they'd stopped partnering with Naure's Rest -- I was told by Jordan's that NR has started to use an inferior latex product.  I shopped and researched quite a bit trying to find something that would be as...

Hi all,

 

This forum is super valuable! But I am now overwhelmed with choices and need some help. I am in search of a queen mattress (top only, since I have a platform bed) for myself and a twin for my son (top bunk). I am searching for a natural latex (I hope I am using the right term) mattress (no innerspring), but wish to seek your wisdom before I plunk down lots of money as an investment.

My stats are: 5'7" and 130-135lbs (back to side sleeper with a bad lower back). My son is 47" and around 46-48lbs (and is an all around the bed sleeper).

I currently have two S-brand freebies that are uncomfortable.

I have tried the following mattresses for queens:

Savvy Rest (2 layer - both Dunlop - 1 soft top and...

To build a custom 100% Latex foam rubber mattress that:
