I have a Sealy springfree, one comfort level up from the Weybridge. You can go to this blogsite to read all about Sealy mattresses but esp. the latex: http://blog.pennlive.com/mattress/ It's run by Sealy mattress seller in PN and he does a pretty good job describing all the Sealy products and making recomendations within his brand; he is esp. fond of the Weybridge for most people. I read his blog and this one before I purchased my springfree. It's about 3 years old and I'll tell you what I know. The base latex is not LI but is from their own manufacturing. It is not tallalay and feels closer to dunlop to me. The 3 inch latex on top is softer and may come from LI but I'm not sure. It has a styrofoam edging to keep it from slumping when you sitting on the edge. I know all this...

Yes, you will more than likely regret buying one of these mattresses. Chances are good that they will develop the same ruts you have now.  These bed companies are not what they used to be. They want you to buy a new bed every 5 years or so. Not like in the not too distant past where you could get a good 10 to 15 years out of a quality mattress.

If you buy from Macys, you'll pay probably double (at least) what you might pay at a smaller retailer....

If many people on this forum are also having back issues why are so many leaning toward latex? Am I missing something? If not latex and regular coil S types are poor quality then what? A Shifman, Royal Pedic, Kluft, Airloom or other $3500+ mattress?

Let's take for example a Sealy Springfree Beachside which I have been reading so much about over the internets other mattress blog. Firm enough to support my back so I have read. If talalay latex on the top layer is not the answer as you suggest with a "healing" back, why not a latex core with a poly top? Now that I know I will only get 6-8 years out of a mattress, I am ok with that as long as it is comfortable during that time.

Getting a mattress with a voided warranty. For me the Jury is still out, but if I can get a latex set at 1/4 as...

I currently own a 4 year old Sealy.  It has been too soft for me from day and and now how a divit, which causes my girlfriend to roll into me.  She's had it with the mattress and will no longer sleep on it.  I also to not get a good nights sleep, no aches, but wake up tired every morning

So, obviously I need something new.  I've done my reading and see Latex beds like flobeds and sleepez are well liked, but I'm nervous about buying a bed without testing on it.  I've been to pretty much every bed center and furniture store within 20 miles and found that the Simmons Beautyrest Black Plush Firm (no pillow top) @ $1800 and the Simmons Springfree Plush, also $1800, to be the best.  We liked these two for the support and cussion they gave as well as having minimal motion transfer.  I've...

DH and I tried a SpringFree for about half an hour at a local shop about a week ago. Very firm initial feel, which we liked, but all of the big S's latex mattresses seem to have PU foam in them or some kind of extra "cushion" on top that isn't latex at all. And their cores aren't usually latex, either. Maybe in a few years, the big S companies will truly go to latex, but for now, it seems like a ripoff. Latex is just a buzz-word for them right now....

I'm so glad I found this forum and have been learning a great deal.  Here's my situation and I can really need some help:  currently I and my husband are sleeping a futon mattress that's pretty much seen the end of its life and I have back pain.  I'm a side sleeper at 140 lb, he's a stomach sleeper and weighs 280 lb.  We have a firm inner spring mattress in the guest bedroom and have been sleeping on it.  I like it but since he comes to bed late I wake up every night around 1am when he craws into bed from all the motion ( which I don't get with the futon mattress).  The mattress is a Simmons Beautyrest ultra firm with pocketed coils.  I've been to 4-5 stores and tried Sealy Posturepedic, Tempurpedic, SpringFree latex, Stearns and Foster, Beauty Rest.  I'm getting confused with all the options. ...

Do you remember what the comfort level (and name if you remember) of your Sealy Springfree bed was?  The Weybridge (also know as Brasswood Firm at US-Mattress) is 3.5, and the Garden Vine Plush (US Mattress name) is a 5.0.  After trying out the Garden Vine Plush at a local store it seems like a good firmness level and it is also cheaper than the Brasswood.  According to the specs the Brasswood has an extra layer of latex instead of the cheaper foam, and that's why it's more expensive and firmer too.  The Garden Vine Plush has a layer of foam, is softer and cheaper too.  Turn the Garden Vine Plush over and you have the same as the Brasswood Firm (at least that's what CC-Mattress is saying on the Blog).

So....that's why I am wondering what the comfort level of your bed is - that will tell me what bed on US-Mattress...

Kim,

I can't speak to the other brands but I can give you a bit on the Sealys. There's virtually no practical difference between the SpringFree and the PurEmbrace lines. It's primarily just a packaging and marketing piece. The PurEmbrace has a flatter top and a beige sort of look, etc.

I can give you a few tips for general latex shopping.

- Shop Talalay. You want a bed that is pure Talalay, no Poly cores or Dunlop layers.

- If it's an option, the type of Talalay you want is blend. Blend is a mixture of manmade and natural latex which provides a better balance of longevity and comfort. The difference between many manufacturers is what percentages of each they use in their cores.

- Shop somewhere that gives you a comfort exchange....

I can answer one of your questions definitively.

Sealy Springfree is about the only manufacturer that does not buy their cores from LI.

So far as beds only being "part" latex this depends on the mattress. Ask for something with a Talalay Core and Talalay top. You can buy latex beds with Poly cores but these are generally the "budget" versions. A queen latex bed should run you at least $2000 for the set and more likely closer to $2500. If it doesn't, I'd ask why. There's a lot less margin variance in the industry than people think and if one bed is significantly less than another it's almost always not because it's a "better deal" but because it's made more cheaply.
