Re: If LATEX IS SO GOOD WHY DO RETAIL STORES DON'T CARRY 100% LATEX MATTRESSES? - Lynn2006

Natalie, I am looking forward to reading your review of your FloBed latex mattresI bought a FloBed latex mattress Kit two years ago after having to send my Simmons bed back to Rockaway bedding since it was outgassing and I could not breath. Their bed had suede and polyurethane and not natural latex like they told me and I have allergies to chemicals.  I slept on the floor for a few months over a latex topper I bought until my busy season ended.  Then clients told me how much they loved their FloBed after I cancelled their first appointment telling them I was up all night sick due to the new bed. After their first appointment the week after they told me that each partner needed a different firmness so they bought split layers and since the latex bed does not have fire retardant chemicals on it and no polyurethane,...

My understanding, from the many months of research I did prior to purchasing a bed, is that latex mattresses are much more common in Europe and relatively unknown here in the US.  If I remember correctly, I read that as many as 50% of western europeans sleep on latex mattresses.  However, in the US, tempurpedic and other memory foam mattresses are much more prevalent than they are in Europe.  I count myself lucky that I even stumbled across latex and the route was pretty circuitous.

Flobeds does have a showroom.  It's in Fort Bragg in Northern California.  Flobeds is a small local company, not a national corporation like Sealy or Simmons or Serta - you are not going to find Flobeds showrooms across the country.  Same with Sleepez (Arizona showroom?).  They have national sales because the internet has given them a wider presence than they would otherwise have. ...

I recently bought an innerspring mattress that was much harder than I can comfortably sleep on, quite intentionally. I don't like all-foam mattresses. They just don't feel right to me. But I'm sick of paying $1000 for an innerspring mattress which becomes unusable when  the soft, cheap foam on top wears out. So I bought a hard mattress that doesn't have all the soft junk sewn in, with the intention of adding some latex. 

However, I didn't get around to ordering the latex, so I stuck some old PU foam toppers i had kicking around on it as a temporary measure, and it is so comfortable that I keep putting off buying the latex. Nothing wrong with PU foam, except that it wears out, and, when it is a topper and now sewn into the bed, it is easily replaced.

You might want to try a...

Thank you Kim. If 50% of Europe sleeps on latex that is lot of people. So why can't latex sellers also set up shops just like Europeans latex sellers have done?

Why do third class mattress makers like serta/simmons/Sealy flourish in US.

Are we brainwashed by false advertising from the big S companies? I can't think of any other reason for popularity of Big S makers.

Without ads latex will remain unknown in US. Without showrooms through out Us latex will remain unknown in US.

We are far behind Europeans and will remain so.

Thanks....

Ten years ago we bought a Sealy Posturepedic Camillo Plush. It was among the last crop of SCo flippable mattresses and we have really liked it. After traveling we're always happy to be back home on our own bed. It's not as if it ELIMINATES my back and neck troubles... but they're far worse on other mattresses. Plus, it's a double and we just bought a new queen-sized bed.

It's crazy, but my wife and I just "retired" a 15-year old Sealy Posturepedic queen mattress and boxspring set. It was flippable and still slept pretty darn well. Despite it being a pillowtop, there are no visible craters or depressions in it. Crazy. Guess they just don't make 'em like they used to.

I went to mattress stores twice this weekend and kept going back and forth between Cloud and...

I agree with hellbed. It's always easy to soften a too-hard bed by adding a topper. You really can't go wrong with trying an inexpensive PU foam topper. If you really like it, you can just replace it every couple years or so when it breaks down. Or after the first one breaks down, buy a quality latex topper... much more expensive but will last 15-20 years or more.

Here are some options:

Re: Tempurpedic Rhapsody Vs. Simmons NXG? - pianoman
Jun 12, 2010 6:58 PM
Just my opinion, but I think you just might be OK with the TP Rhapsody. It's certainly better than the alternative you mentioned (I can't even bring myself to name it... that's pretty sad!).

Since you're locked in to some sort of TP, I'd stick with what you have for a little while longer and see if it seems livable. If not, exchange for a different TP model. If the Rhapsody is just a hair firm, you could try a thin topper (1") or mattress pad to soften it up a bit. Since MF softens over time but never hardens, I think I would err on the side of slightly too firm initially, were I to buy a MF mattress.

Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme vs. Costco Ara 13" Pillow Top Visco Foam - gaddygirl

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. My husband and I are about to buy the third mattress of our 10-year marriage :-) I have been doing a little "light reading" on this forum beforehand and I thought I would share our experience so far. I will also report back after we purchase and test-drive.

I had spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis when I was 13, and have had back issues (shoulder, neck, and low back/hip areas) off and on ever since. I see an excellent chiropractor about every month or so (Gonstead school) to manage flareups. I cannot sleep on any kind of air mattress or sofa without feeling wrecked - I'm better off on a padded floor. My husband doesn't have back trouble and can sleep pretty much on anything. I weigh about 105 lbs and he weighs about 170.

Hi everyone,

 

 

GREAT FORUM... this is m first post...

 

I am in a HUGE dillemma right now with my current mattress purchase. I had a saggy Serta mattress that they didn't warranty as it wasn't saggins 1.5" without any weight on it (a lot more if you slept on it). So, I decided to go out and get myself a new set. From past experiences with Serta and Sealy, I decided to go Simmons and pocket Coil.

 

I purchased a FIRM Simmons, World Class (980 springs), Medium Pillowtop (not as big of Eurotop, 1.5-2" top of memroy/latex mix). I took it home and slept on it... it feels OK if I sleep on my back, but I start on my side, and end up on my back... so now it's starting to...
