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.

Savvy Rest is a good company with a wonderful product. One of the main reason I chose Savvy Rest was the flexibility. When my wife and I bought our Serenity mattress, I chose Medium Dunlop on the bottom with two softs on top. My wife wanted something firmer, so she got one Firm Dunlop layer and two mediums on top. She made a couple of changes (I’m not exactly sure what she sleeps on now) and now she is very happy with it. We have different firmnesses on each side, but I don’t notice any space or crack between the layers.

All the people I spoke with at Savvy Rest were warm and friendly. Customer service was particularly sensitive in guiding my wife to the right configuration. I highly recommend Savvy Rest to anyone looking for a natural mattress.

I just love the comfort of my new organic mattress by Savvy Rest! Knowing that it is also an environmentally friendly mattress makes me feel even better...And the folks at Savvy Rest were both friendly and helpful.
