I would be interested to know how come only a couple of companies are selling 100% latex mattresses?

If latex is so good, why is it not in retail stores showrooms just like tempurpedic mattresses?

I MEAN MOST PEOPLE would hesitate to buy a costly product from internet when they have never even seen it/felt it/tested it.

You can go to retail store and test the Tempurpedics.

But for 100% latex there are no showrooms of these companies or if they are there they are only in1 location. Why?

 

Most people would think very hard to buy a 100% latex mattress without testing it in person beforehand.

Now for flobeds , i asked my friend and showed him flobeds web site. And he began to cast doubts.

His questions:

1.  First he said. The web site looks crappy!

2. Do they have any showroom here in the city

3. Don't trust things if did not test it in showroom.

Are these legitimate questions that any person would ask before buying a product?

 

Thanks.

I think the point is that the commercial brands want you to buy a new mattress every 2 or 3 years. not every 30 years. which is the lifespan of latex. natural latex that is. so when serta goes to make a latex mattress, they use lab made US latex, which is not natural and has a high failure rate. why? so that you have to replace it in 3 years. same mindset as GM. and why they went bankrupt. simmons went belly-up as well in case you did not know that. got bought out for the name. the answer to your question is that the big names will not make it because it is so good. ah, america

Serta does not make any 100% natural latex mattresses. I slept on these at retail stores and I sank to the bottom on all of them. They had no support. They felt really cheap. Thanks.
