I spend almost 1.5 hours trying the dunlop and talalay combinations.
Dunlop was too hard. All combinations were just very uncomfortable. So I tried talalay. Again uncomfortable.
So I tried dunlop with talalay.
Nope. Just uncomfortable.
70 percent of people sleep on side.
I do too. If You fall in that category this savvyrest will not work for you

Very disappointed. I drove 250 miles just to try. Bad poorly thought bed.
Do not recommend.

I purchased a Queen size Serenity in Dunlop with firm, medium, soft layers, unsplit. I purchased this through Amenity Home along with a bed, so I did not deal with Savvy Rest directly.

I had tried SR beds at a local retailer and found that I liked the feel of latex, which is different then memory foam. I tried both Talalay and Dunlop and preferred the firmer Dunlop. The mattress was delivered in three large cardboard boxes. Each latex layer was wrapped in clear plastic, folded in half and rolled up and stuffed into the box. Each box was labelled with the firmness and the one with the cover was also marked.

It was pretty easy to put together by myself. The cover is thick and looks durable and the brass zipper is sturdy. I didn't think the latex was going to fit into the case, but it it all fit snugly and when zipped up it had no creases. It was a good fit.

The latex pieces look good to me. They are clean with no tears. The edges are all square and the three pieces were all the same size. Each piece is labelled with the firmness at top and foot.

After putting together the bed and mattress by myself on the hottest day of the year, my back was complaining. For the first few nights, my back continued to complain a bit. I think it takes a while for us not-young people to adjust to new beds. The sagging water bed certainly had a different sleeping profile. The bed is *very* comfortable. It feels a bit firmer than I remember from the store. I sometimes sleep on my stomach and this bed is PERFECT for that. I was unable to sleep like this on the old bed because my back sagged. I mostly sleep on my side. This bed is firm but it has enough give for shoulder, elbow and hips.

I don't notice any smell from the latex.

The bed is a platform bed with very high quality slats. 11 slats of hard wood with 1.5" between them. It's rock solid platform.

I am very happy with the mattress thus far. I have not had to deal with SR, so I can't comment on the company.

Here's a link to a few pics as I assembled the mattress. I can't seem to get this to display as a clickable link:

I'll update my review in one year since we are all looking for mattresses that will last a long time.

Three years ago my wife and I decided to purchase a new mattress. She suffers from lower back pain and I have been struggling with insomnia and somnambulism since childhood. A friend suggested that we try out a Savvy Rest latex-core mattress, so we visited the Savvy Sleeper showroom in Charlottesville, Virginia. Dominick, the gentleman who assisted us, was extremely helpful in determining what type of mattress would best suit our needs. Given my wife’s bad back and the fact that I sleep on my stomach, he suggested that we try a Tranquility model with medium and firm density layers. Dominick even disassembled one of the showroom models and reassembled it so that we could try out this configuration on the spot. Between the product and the customer service we were sold.

The mattress was quite easy to assemble and took no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. Assembly did not require any special tools or skills (thankfully), and I was able to do it by myself after watching the instructional video at the Savvy website. The latex layers themselves were a bit unwieldy – we have a king bed – but nevertheless manageable. Anybody could put one of these things together.

My impression after sleeping on the mattress overnight was that it was both firm and soft at the same time. We bought a firm configuration in light of our medical conditions and sleep styles, and the combination of firm and medium Dunlop provides the support that we need without feeling like a plank. We tried out several traditional mattresses before settling upon Savvy, and none of them seemed to strike a good balance between support and comfort. The softs were too soft and the firms were too firm. Our latex mattress keeps us in the Goldilocks zone.

I believe that the mattress has been beneficial to our health, as well as our comfort. My wife’s back pain has subsided somewhat, and I find it easier to go to sleep and stay asleep. I also find it easier to wake and get out of bed, which has been perhaps the greatest benefit of all. It sets the tone for the whole day.

I have learned that the value of a good night’s sleep is incalculable. The quality of waking life is determined to a large extent by the quality of sleep, and I sleep better now than ever before. I would grant the Savvy Rest latex-core mattress my highest recommendation.
