Body Rhythms Sky

Englander Body Rhythms

I've had this bed for three weeks and am completely happy with it. I looked at a lot of mattresses, searching for one that would support my lower back and still provide cushy softness on top for my hips and shoulders. The Body Rhythms Sky (sold by Raymour & Flanigan) felt great the first time I tried it, and it still feels good.

The mattress consists of a 6" core of natural latex, topped with about an inch of QuiltFlex. Under the latex is 2" of another foam, probaby PU. Although it is sold under the Body Rhythms label only by Raymour & Flanigan, it's possible that the manufacturer sells to other chains as well--although I don't know this for a fact. The manufacturer is World Sleep, which is connected to Englander.

It's a little hard for me to be a good judge, since I have chronic muscle and joint pain and am never pain-free. But I've been a good observer, and have rejected all coil mattresses (pressure points!) and my last two latex mattresses (off-brand hybrids). I'm really happy that this one is working out so well.

I look forward to going to bed at night, and sometimes after a tiring day at work I just climb in for an hour of comfort.

It doesn't sleep hot (I wouldn't like that). I should add that although the mattress felt perfect in the store, at home I topped it with a foam pad (by Simmons from Walmart) because I've used the pad for two years and like it a lot.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this mattress.

Hästens Excelsior Medium

Beautiful, Comfortable bed. We ordered CA King Medium...coming off of a firm S&F (the old Stearns & Foster, before Sealy purchased), I was afraid that Medium was too soft, but after initial period of 5-7 days with minor adjustment soreness, we both are sleeping soundly, and waking refreshed. The most immediately noticeable benefit is that I fall asleep much more quickly than before...no need to relax into bed as on old firm style, the bed cradles me and allows my body to relax right away. As an athlete, I notice that I seem to recover from hard workouts/races faster than before, although that could also be because it's the end of my racing season (amateur bicycle racer). Hopefully, with proper care (flipping regularly, replacing top mattress every 5-10 years) it will serve well for the 20-30 years Hästens claims. I would recommend this style to anyone willing to invest in a good night's rest.

I have been sleeping in beauty rest beds for 20 years, the last one purchased was about 7 years ago, it was a wool top/ pillow top which was very comfortable but got some pretty deep body impressions. I tried to replace that bed but they no longer made it nor did they make anything like it so I went for the pricey Willowbrook View after trying cheaper models that were just too firm for me.

This bed sits pretty high and looks like it is made for royalty with really nice fabric on the outside. It was the only bed in there that really gave when laying on my side so I chose it because I thought that it would not give me the soreness from pressure like the firmer beds. It really did feel like a dream in the store.

When it arrived it smelled horrible, it was sprayed with something that Mattress Giant uses as an anti microbe/mold kind of spray which they swore was non toxic but it was very irritating to the nose and it was still damp from the spray when they brought it in. The bed outgassed for days which was unpleasant.

Evening one I climbed up in it and the box spring squeaked and kind of grunted with every turn, I took it apart to see if it was the frame but it was the box spring.

While this bed did offer pressure relief it did not offer support so both hips and butt sunk too deep into the mattress to the point that my body had to work all night trying to hold a decent posture and alignment. I woke up sore from head to toe and needing a chiropractor visit.

As time went on this did not go away. The motion control on the bed was very poor, with two people on it too close we rolled into each other and it was impossible to keep the back and hips level if laying too close together. Thus I was less sore when my partner went out of town.

As more time went on there were depressions in the pillow top and I had to wake up and lift my body to roll over which I had to do frequently because the bed created lower back pain.

I attempted to swap this mattress out but we got hit by the hurricanes right into my 60 day comfort test end. I called them and told them I had a problem much earlier but they wanted me to try it for 60 days. The hurricanes were here for all of september and by the time we all got electricity and came back from evacuation they would not swap it out as it had gone over 60 days.

I gave this bed to a friend 2 days ago when I purchased a Latex mattress and I do not miss it one bit. I will not buy a Simmons mattress again. Expensive mattresses do not guarentee a good nights sleep and pillow top mattresses are certainly not what they are cranked up to be.
