I live in Victoria, BC and am beginning to do some research into a new mattress. Have an older Tempurpedic that is ok, still have some pressure on my shoulders when sleeping on my side and just can't justify spending that much money. Plus, I remember the memory foam smell and it wasn't very nice for a long time. So, I'm considering Latex. There is a retailer that sells Snugsleep foam mattresses that use Latex Gold latex from New Zealand. I like the idea of the natural latex that they are billing this as.... But, one wonders if all the claims are true. Has anyone heard of this manufacturer or type of latex? |

Phoenix, thanks for the information! I'm going to visit the Esquimalt Rd location at some point myself - maybe I'll see you there :) I HOPE you weren't referring to Vancouver Island when you said "Maybe that's part of the price you pay for living in such a beautiful but isolated part of the world" lol. In any case it's nice to have a latex mattress nearby that I can try out and see if I like the feel. It's expensive to get over to Vancouver just to mattress shop, but at some point I'll have to bite the bullet, I imagine. |

"I HOPE you weren't referring to Vancouver Island when you said "Maybe that's part of the price you pay for living in such a beautiful but isolated part of the world" lol." Vancouver Island is paradise and is the CENTER of the world. If it's not important to us ... it's just not important :) OK on to some mattress talk ... cause that really important! (laughing) There's a place on Fort st http://www.goodplanet.com/ and they have a couple of what look like Sueno and Greensleep. They are all very nice mattresses and are also well worth laying on as the Sueno's especially are easy to duplicate and both are good quality. Sleep country also carries the Zenbody by sealy. One of them is all latex (core and top with no poly believe it or not) and one of them is latex over poly. Also great testing grounds. We are lucky because in the States they are called the Embody and they don't have the all latex version. http://www.thompsonsfoamshopsltdbc.ca/ says they have latex mattresses and maybe they would let you play around with layers. http://www.sandysfurniture.ca/furniture/mattresses/ may have some latex in either the Simmons natural care line or the Serta Pure response or Vera wang line. I wouldn't buy any of these of course since they would both have too much poly but I sure would use them to test out preferences if they carry them. These guys say they carry evereden latex mattresses but they look a lot like a home business that might just take orders rather than have them is stock. In another part of their site under new products they have some more but they are using the video from habitat furnishings in the US so if that's the one's they carry they will be expensive. Still, maybe more latex to play on and gather specs for your perfect mattress. There's a whole bunch more mattress stores but I don't know if any of them carry any latex so I'd probably phone before I went to visit any of them. Phoenix
