The Queen-size 9" Ultimate Plus I ordered from foamsweetfoam.com last Friday March 4, arrived on Wednesday March 9. Super-fast shipping, (3 working days) for $12.50, I'd say.

I wrestled my 6 year old lousy pillow-top mattress off its foundation, then placed the well packed tri-layered Ultimate Plus where the old mattress was. I removed the strapping , then watched the Ultimate Plus decompress. I let it air out for about an hour before placing a mattress pad, the fitted flannel sheets, and down comforter on it.

I was surprised how "cushy" the mattress felt at first, but once I got under the covers for my first night's sleep on it, I was absolutely amazed at its totally supportive feel. There are NO pressure points, and it is as firm a mattress as I've ever used - exactly what I wanted. Also, if I ever want to change how the bed feels, I can take out a Latex layer, replace it with another at a different firmness, or put in a layer of memory foam. How great is that !

I slept through the night with no tossing and turning. In fact, I was amazed at how completely unruffled the sheets and comforter were when I awakened. I woke up feeling great, and I did not have that "need to stretch out" like I used to with that lousy pillow-top.

Last night's sleep experience was better than the first since I kind of knew what to expect. When I awoke this morning, I had no feeling that I needed to go back to sleep - I was done sleeping. I slept throughout the night, with no waking moments due to discomfort. My body and my brain are rested and I really do feel rejuvenated.

I am a "warm" sleeper, and I know some people have expressed concerns over whether Latex mattresses are too hot. For my experience, sleeping on a latex mattress with a good cover, a mattress pad, and flannel sheets has no impact one way or the other when it comes to heat. Incidentally, I ordered the Ultimate Plus with the simple cotton cover.

I can uncategorically say my experience with foamsweetfoam.com was superlative. The website was easy to navigate, the order process was simple, my questions were answered knowledgeably, the 3 business day shipping for such a heavy item was awesome, the set up was a breeze, and the rebate form for $100 tops it off quite nicely. It was not the most expensive, nor the least expensive, but it was closer to the least expensive "deal on a Latex Mattress" out there, and it certainly exceeed all my expectations in every way. Its value far exceeds its price.

I already look forward to crawling into bed knowing I will greet each day well rested, rejuvenated.

I am happy to read your experiences and answer any of your questions. This forum has been a wonderful resource.
