My husband and myself are not happy with this mattress. While the mattress is well made, the comfort level is not for us. It's been a year now, with one exchange and the mattress still sags in the middle, with the ends firm. I find myself sleeping as close to the edge as possible. If not, I awake with soreness in my lower back which eventually goes away after an hour or so awake time. My husband also experiences back pain and dislikes the mattress as well. We just feel it's too soft and we have firm, med, med. We are in our 50's and this was an expensive purchase and a very regretful one. I find myself having to get out of bed as soon as possible, otherwise I feel it's torture. NOt restful at all for us. Latex just isn't for us. Our backs have been conditioned to a more firm feel and after contacting the company there is nothing we can do but continue to suffer until we can afford a new mattress. Throwing more money at this isn't going to be the solution. Next time, I will stick with a good inner spring mattress. Word to the wise, don't buy a mattress that you can't return and have to pay extra to switch layers. My worst mistake ever. Just to add, customer service was fine but their answer is to pay more to switch layers, which we already did once within the 90 day period. That's not the answer for us. Also, when we ordered it after trying it out, we were told it would not sag. That is not the case, it did. We also ordered the Dunlop, which is firmer. I am a side sleeper and my back hurts no matter which way I try to sleep.

I'm a retired orthopedic nurse with a back problem. My old inner-spring mattress wasn't that old -- six years -- but had broken down to the point of sagging. After many a sleepless, painful night, my husband and I decided to research mattresses and chose Savvy Rest. We chose latex because of its longevity, its support and its resistance to dust mites. We chose Savvy Rest because we were impressed by their customer service and their willingness to educate buyers.

We've had our Serenity, from the Natural Sleep Store, for almost a month. I can't attest to the longevity of the latex yet, but I can report that my back and my husband's shoulder have improved significantly. First night on the new bed, I fell asleep quickly and awoke in the morning. Without exaggeration, I haven't slept through the night in years.

We purchased a firm and medium layer of dunlop and the top layer is soft talalay. Because we're used to a pillow-top feel, we also purchased a wool topper, plus we purchased a foundation. The result is a very comfortable bed, yet it isn't the comfort that is most impressive, but the remarkable ability of latex to conform to our shape while still supporting our back and keeping us in good alignment. I'm no longer awakened during the night by pain.

We're impressed by the quality of the bed, the cover is soft and luxurious, and assembly is a snap. We highly recommend Savvy AND the Natural Sleep Store.

We chose a mix of Tal & Dunlap (Dunlap on bottom layer). My husband is tall and I am just over 5ft. We are of medium builds.

Savvy worked very closley with us from start to finish and even with some shipping problems on my end...

We chose a Veriflex foundation - AMAZON.... it came first and was easy to assemble (20-30 minutes). You do need strong hands to get it together as some of the screws are a little difficult and take some coercing. We live near Savvy (a couple of hours) so we picked up our Cal King ourselves. We have a medium sized SUV and it took all the room we had to get it in. The Mattress was vaccuum packed in 3 boxes.

I have to say, quality is top knotch. We have been sleeping on this mattress for 3 months now and it is like no other mattress! I wake up with no pains or aches... fully refreshed. The mattress feels like it holds you. The best sleep I have ever had. These beds are expensive, but worth every penny.

Yes you can do a DIY Foam bed, but... you cannot be assured of the density, you cannot be assured that your foam was not laying next to regular poly foam (absorbing chemicals), and you do not get the high quality mattress cover that protects your investment. It is worth the extra money to go with a vendor if you can afford it.
