Re: Hastens Marquis or Carpe Diem Koster? - budgy

After muddling my way through google translated dutch, I see no apparent difference other than appearance between the entry level Carpe Diem and the Kattegatt line they offer.  I would advice you to select which is most comfortable, there are pro's and con's to both.  The Hastens bed will likely breathe better and certainly has a real pedigree to the brand although I don't place much importance on such things.  The Carpe Diem bed will require less maintenance than the Hastens and will likely hold its shape a little bit better because they are using natural rubber instead of horse hair.  Both are very high quality elastic fillings that can last a long time and are very functional.

Re: How firm should i go with my latex mattress - serehya

Hello all,

 

I've been looking for a firm mattress for a few months now.  At first I was only looking for innerspring mattresses, but couldn't find anything firm enough for me or my wife.  We both like very firm with no sinking feeling.  I would not say firm like sleeping on the floor, but close to it.

While at a 1-800-mattress store, we tried a latex mattress and liked it the most out of anything we tried.  The mattress was Sleep Options Classic Sleep Destiny 8-inch Firm Latex Foam Mattress. It felt firm enough, although both of us would've preffered a bit more firmness.

So, i came to this site to research on latex, chose SleepEZ based on reviews and prices being below Flobeds.

Brooklyn Bedding All Latex Models from LatexMattressShop - TheLTFM
May 22, 2011 12:41 PM
I was almost ready to pull the trigger on latex pieces from foambymail to build a DIY mattress (my thread on that:  http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/advice-needed-my-diy-all-latex-project/19004-0-1.html ).  But I've continued to pour through old posts.  In so doing, I ran accross Phoenix's posts mentioning http://latexmattressshop.com/index.php/ .   Other than Phoenix's mention, there isn't a lot of info here or folks that seem to have their mattresses.  I am amazed by their prices for what you get and am now thinking this is a better way to go for me.  I realize that going this way, you lose the ability to tweak, but I wasn't looking forward to that anyway.  They do offer a complete 60 day money back guarantee.

I would love to hear more opinions about the Brooklyn Bedding latex line and latexmattressshop as a company.  If all is on the up and up, I would also like...

Not to be antagonistic, but from what I've read, stomach sleeping is the least recommended position.  Apparently it can leave one prone to neck and back pain. 2/3 of people are side sleepers.  I know they say you should put a pillow under your hips when stomach sleeping.  If you use some sort of body pillow, it could train you to side sleep and not roll over to your stomach.  I have a spare King size pillow which I put between knees and lay my upper arm over it when side sleeping.  I find the 50" long body pillows a bit too long.

On to mattresses.

I would looking at a number of mattress stores including Sears if they have them nearby.  Each retailer has different selections.  Be very familiar with exchange policies (if they don't have one, find a retailer that does), and return policy.  Very common...

Re: Anyone knows about Laura Ashley latex mattress at Sears? - JimBob
Jun 28, 2011 11:25 AM
We are doing the same thing - going to all mattress stores and trying to compare what we see/feel. This Sears Opal Latex is on our short list - the listing that 'phynars' gives for construction is correct. Yes it is all latex, my nose told me so! There aren't any online reviews of it, but the reviews of latex mattresses in general sound great. I did check for returns, warrenty issues, etc. for this unit and found nothing significant. The Sears prices are pretty good over the 4th weekend and some may be available their outlets.  We found another latex by Simmons, Natural... or Nature... something which had 3 comfort levels, one being simular to the Sears unit - price about x2 Sears discounted price. We are still trying to decide between this one and a luxary coil unit, but the price of the coil unit is x4. I...

Folks

While I'm a newby to this forum and as well as the DIY mattress symposium, I would like to offer my comments on the matter. If the customer is sold any product by misleading means then the seller has a responsibility to make said product right by the customer. That means a refund of the full price or some recompense depending on the customer's wishes. I would like to state, that I recently purchased one of these beds. I've been sleeping on a wave less-water bed for nearly 30 years. While they provide good support the minuses became too much. So I went looking for a new mattress that would offer the same support as a water bed mattress as well as allow me to keep the expensive frame and headboard from the waterbed. For those not in the know concerning water beads and their foundation systems,...

New & desperately need advice re: adding layers on top of painfully firm Beautyrest - sleepymom
Jul 6, 2011 1:15 PM
I'm a newbie and am desperate.  My husband and I are now on our 3rd mattress from Macy's, and we get no more preference changes. We first had Simmons Beautyrest Black, which had poor quality memory foams that provided no support whatsoever, and our backs hurt because we sank too much.  (We do NOT recommend the Beautyrest Black!). On our third, and final, selection, we went with a Simmons Beautyrest Elderberry Tight Top Firm, even though the saleswoman said we'd need a topper b/c it is so firm.  She was right.  Alone, it is like sleeping on concrete, so it ends up being like a box spring.  (It has no give even if we jump on it). 

We initially added a 1.5" geo cut "Memory Foam Bed Topper by Beautyrest" that I bought at Bed, Bath & Beyond.  It was too soft of a topper anyway, and did...
