BobJ, I am glad FloBeds came through for you like they have for me with their customer service that aims to please and seems to really care about the comfort of the bed to each and every customer.  At least that was the way I felt from dealing with both Dave and Dewey.  Dave even sliced a latex pillow for me trying to find a pillow the right height for me.  But I got lucky and after buy several natural latex standard pillows from Overstock, I found two the right height for me while the others are just a tad too thick.  The Queen Size latex pillows from FloBeds were so perfect but too plump for my petite size (I am only 4'10.5" tall) so I am using them as Shams which fit so nicely in my sham covers.

I feel you will like the firmer latex side of the bed once you...

Next to buying a tombstone, this is probably the hardest decision you have to make.  Sadly, there are many people in my industry who take advantage of people and give all of us a bad name.  I will try to remedy that with some honest advice.

For the most part, the advice given on the welcome page is solid.  Follow those guidelines and your experience will be a good one.  As far as the types of beds, you generally have firm, plush, and pillowtop.  For many years, people were told the firmer the better.  This could not be further from the truth!  That myth led to generations of back problems.  It drives me crazy when a person comes in and says my doctor or my chiropractor told me to get the firmest bed you have.  I usually tell them to get a new doctor!  For the people who do not walk out on...

Compare latex mattresses - EcoCloud, CozyPure, FloBed, and even Simmons Black Viola - tex88

Hi, I'm trying to buy a new mattress, and i'm looking for a few tips. Our current bed is a Sterns & Foster Firm Euro-Pillowtop, which now has massive body impressions that are messing up my back (since i'm a back sleeper). My fiance (a side sleeper) of course loves the ultra poofy luxuriousness of the pillowtop, and doesn't mind that the foam collapses after a minute of laying on it.

So my goal is to find a soft and comfortable, yet supportive and durable mattress. Ideally with some amount of "luxury" feel to the quilting, rather than just a very thin cotton cover with a tiny bit of wool.

I started looking at Simmons, but ruled out everything except the Beautyrest Black Viola (with a tiny bit of latex in it), since the top quilting seems soft and luxurious yet not very tall (it's not a pillowtop), so i would...

You are a lot like me.  I sleep on my back and sides, weight not a lot.  My biggest problem with beds is finding the support I need for my hips(where my weight is concentrated), but also having the softness to not cut off my circulation in my hips and shoulders.
I had a latex mattress which lasted about two years before foam stopped working.  I bought a latex topper for our newer bed but I hated the feeling...latex is boing-y(hubby liked it, tho).  Every time I turned over, I bounced, LOL! 
I would research ad nauseum about springs in the bed(heard somewhere, maybe on this list, that Simmons springs are not great), as well as what they layer above them.  I have been through so many mattresses in the past couple of years(seems that foam quality took a nosedive after Katrina), it seems that any polyurethane foam just won't last...

I have been looking into a Natural Care laxtex mattress by Simmons.  Does anyone know anything about this.  I have been told that it is all latex foam, not memory foam.  I had bought a simmons beautyrest a few years ago and was told that it did not contain any memory foam only latex but came to find out that it did indeed contain memory foam.  I hate the memory foam.  It feels soft at first but then in the middle of the night I hit a hard bottom and wake up in order to find a more comfortable spot.  Hoping that all latex will be more springy.  I have always slept with a latex pillow.  I was also wondering if a latex topper would help instead.  I tried an egg crate topper, but just ended up with a deeper valley to roll out of .  I weigh 128lbs at...

I believe Savvy Rest is a good company. But you might also want to consider, SleepEZ, FloBeds, and Habitat. Foam Sweet Foam also has some good prices but I do not care for their exchange policy or their return policy. Those are just a few of the alternatives that I can think of to recommend.

You were aware that Simmons had taken bankruptcy? I have no idea what their reorganization company will be like,are really very much about the deal at all, other than I had read they had taken bankruptcy....

You can see a comparison of the composition of all of these "S" brand "latex" mattresses on this chart by US Mattress:

http://site.namebrandbeds.com/latex-mattress-comparison-chart.html

From the description of the mattress you have given, it looks like your mattress is branded on the above chart as the Simmons Natural Care Willowbrook Firm.  This mattress is 9 1/2" deep, but only 6" is actually latex.  The ILD is 28, which is considered a "medium" firmness in latex.  The rest of the mattress is composed of foam base layers and fillers.

The issue you ought to be concerned about is how much latex really is in these "latex" mattresses?  Some of them are branded as latex mattresses but actually contain very little latex and a lot of PU foam, which is *not* long lasting or durable.  Many people have complained about the PU foam layers in these "S" brand mattresses degrading within a very short time, leaving...

I did read that post about the foundation.  Actually, I did not order a slat foundation from Flobeds.  I am not a fan of slat foundations, and I didn't like what I saw on the Flobeds website.  I just purchased a regular low profile mattress foundation to put my flobed on.  In fact. . . it's the low-profile Triton foundation for the Simmons Natural Care latex mattress.

I honestly don't think the type of foundation makes much difference as long as it is sturdy enough to support the mattress and allows sufficient air flow....

I am considering purchasing a latex mattress in the near future.  I've been doing my homework by researching and visiting several local showrooms to try them.  There are two main reasons why I like them: long lasting promise and ecological friendly approach.  What I like least is: the high cost of this set.  Therefore, I want to make a smart investment with my next purchase.  I would really like to hear comments from other savvy buyers (satisfied and non satisfied) who can give me advised in this matter. Any recommendations or considerations I should be looking for?  Thank you very much!

The specification of the mattress set I am looking at: 

Manufacturer:  Simmons
Make Natural Care Latex
Model:  Burma Firm (Talalay latex, Ultra Foam, Surface Enclosed Edge Support)

Foundation Options:  Triton Foundation 9 inches or Low Profile 5.5 inches

Re: So many choices (would like latex mattress preferably not go over $2000) - budgy

all im going to suggest/add is that if you are considering latex based on the 'hypoallergenic' properties, resistance to moulds, bacterial growth, dust mites...etc.  Do not consider buying a Sealy spring free.   These benefits of latex are specifically referring to the properties of natural rubber.  If you want the full benefit of these properties you should really consider buying 100% natural latex.  Sealy uses 100% synthetic (SBR) rubber which offers basically none of those benefits and in addition to this the mattresses are always quilted with a top layer of polyurethane foam, which is another thing you want to avoid if you want these benefits.  Also anything you mix into natural rubber will degrade these qualities, so synthetic blends also lose most of this benefit. 

As far as durability goes most of that is misinformation started by manufactuers like Latex International because they primarily only make synthetic blend rubber.  If...
