I've spent countless hours on the internet looking for "THE" mattress. My problem is durability.

 

I sleep with my boyfriend, and a 70lb labrador in the same bed.....don't laugh now....it's a twin. Let's just say we don't roll around much, lol.

 

I must use this size bed as it is all that the space in my room will allow, what with my cracker box for a house and all.

 

So, I'm in the market for a new bed. Thus being said, I want one that won't poop out on us in a matter of days/weeks/months. I slept in a tempurpedic at a hotel a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, however I seem to see very few good reviews about the memory foam variety mattress. I'd like something that can be comfortably soft yet stand up to the nightly abuse of all three of us sleeping in it.

 

There are sooooo many options that I simply do not know where to begin. What one person says is great on one site, another hates on another site. I simply want to know what would best suit our needs and last for at least a few years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (with the exception of kick the dog off or get a bigger bed) both not an option, sorry.

 

I'm all ears. I may not know the terminology but I'm more than willing to take in a few good suggestions :)

Here are a few that are worth looking at besides what you may already know.

They have a 9" and 12" all latex mattress. They also make their own mattresses and are quite highly rated. Call them to find out the location nearest to where you are and it's definately worth going to see them.

I don't think there are any of these close to you but if there is, then it would be worth going to lay on the different models of Pure Latex Bliss that they carry. They are really nice.

The two mattresses that you would be interested in here are the aspen and the snowmass. They only come in twin XL however so if a few inches of extra length is an issue as opposed to width, then pass them by. Might be worth a call to make sure they don't come in twin if the length is too much.

These guys are quite a ways from you but they are also the one I would go to first if there was any way I could. They make a pure latex mattress and can make the layers any way you want and they have a showroom in Akron. The mattress they sell is exactly like an outlet called Savvy Rest which sells online but they are a lower cost. Call them for sure to see if they have an outlet any closer.

 

I didn't see anything at Mattressfirm that would be worth looking at for you but they may have something suitable that is not online. Doubt it

 

If there are any other quality mattress places that you know about, call them first and ask if they sell either an all latex mattress or an innerspring  mattress with no more than 1" of poloyfoam (be clear here) and if they don't, don't go there.

 

The goal here is to follow the steps from the post that I mentioned earlier (the long one) so you won't be paying any attention to how much anything costs yet, this is about finding out what is perfect for you. Have you read it?

If you have then it's time to get started laying on mattresses.

I believe that I'm going to go to the OMF this saturday and flop around on a few mattresses. I sure hope I like their 12" as Akron may as well be the other side of the world for me. Thank you for all of your help! I really do appreciate it :)
