I'd be interested in the puddle pad too!

Make sure when you try the mattress, you lay down on it. Personally, I think they are a little stiff to sit on, but once your weight is distributed laying down, they are VERY comfy!

Found it -- Dax stores:

It's expensive, but at the time DH and I figured it was part of the pricey mattress + organic cotton sheets, etc package!

Research on latex mattress on the net ...

Here is my homework about a queen size latex mattress on the net : thought it might be useful for anyone in the process of looking ...

I) Savvy rest
Sold by Denizen gallery (Los Angeles)
Their models :
Savvy Rest 7" "Tranquility" Natural Latex Mattress . All organic.
2 layers of Dunlop = 6" = $1599
3 layers of Dunlop = 9” = $1849
free curbside delivery if you ask.
+ $139 tax
3 layers = $1988 (great product but too expensive for me)
Got free tax and 5% discount offered by the LA representativ ...


II) Foamsweetfoam
3 layers of 3" 100% Natural Latex - Your choice of Talalay or Dunlop = 9”
Free shipping+ Foam Gifts + 2 Latex Travel Pillows ($98 value)= $1399
+ $ 116 tax = $1515
Fire retardant is "some" wrap around the latex ??? Don't know how toxic that is ..

III) Nirvana Safe Heaven
Queen 6 '' 100% natural rubber quilted with organically grown wool
Free shipping$1799 tax ? (didn't ask since their latex was too thin for me)

IV) Sleepez
- confusing quote on the site :
“We use only Talalay latex for all our mattresses and mattress toppers”
In fact the site has not been updated : now they propose 100% natural Dunlop and Talalay blend (natural and synthetic)
They do have a 100% natural Talalay though ... more expensive but I'm only interested in Dunlop.
Model « 10,000 Mattress »
queen 3 layers of Dunlop (100% naturel) but 2.8” each= 8.4” (0. 6" less than Savvyrest but much cheaper)
Possible to get 2 separate mattresses (used for an adjustable bed) for same price.

Fire retardant same as in Savvyrest (cotton and wool cover)
shipping $75 for mattress
or
$ 124 for mattress and foundation.
= $ 1,295
+ 75 for shipping
$1,370.00 (no tax !)
can’t beat this one !

V) simplyorganicsleep
Very tempting but HORRIBLE comments in this forum (mothering.com) …
Mattresses queen size split if you want no add. cost. Dunlop + 2 pillows
Split foundation available.
Mattresses models :
- Simply organic sleep I 3 layers of 3” Dunlop = 10” = Now! $1,649.0
- Simply organic sleep II 2 X 3” = 7” = = NOW! $1,349.00
- Nature’s choice 6” + 3” + 4” wool & cotton = 12” Now! $1,799.00

Shipping $149.00 applied
But on the front page of their site : we can read :
“Great Prices w/Free Shipping”
Sales are non stop : $1800 + tax and shipping included + 2 pillows.

Can't tell you what was my choice since I didn't receive it yet ... I will when I get it and will tell you what I thought about their service and product quality ...

We went to http://www.theorganicmattressstore.com/oms.html in PA

I liked the Vivetique --El Monte BUT I don't know much about the company....anyone with any info on company practices in addition to comfort?? I ask b/c I just saw them on 1-800-Mattress and I dunno if that is a good thing....

I am hesitating in making this decision b/c we have a tempurpedic and I HATE HATE HATE it! It was nice in the store after about a million people laid down on it, but when we got it at home it was like a rock! 4 yrs later I have backaches, the whole 9.

Sorry if I am hijacking here, but I want more of the same info you ladies are dishing out.

Do not buy from Simply Organic Sleep!!!!

Simply Organic Sleep ,Natural As Sleep, Does not Deliver and Keeps your money


I purchased a mattress from this company on Jan 22. My credit card was charged right away for the full amount of $1,999.00 and I was promised delivery in three weeks. After three weeks I was told that latex which came from Sri Lanka does not meet company standards and it would take another week. After a week of waiting I called and was told my mattress had not been made and they could not give me a shipping date. On Monday Feb 25 I called and sent email asking to cancel my order and refund my payment. After numerous calls to customer service I got phone call from accountant and was promised a refund on my credit card. I have to this date Mar 9th. not received a refund. I believe this company to be totally dishonest!!!

This is the latest email response from Simply Organic Sleep when asked about my refund:

'What is pathetic sad and unreal is the way that retail customers think that they are the only ones in the world when they place an order. We pride ourselves in our product and customer service and I am frankly tired of your attitude. I may have misspoke about your credit I have hundreds of customers (99 percent of them satisfied by the way) and I am out of town at our distribution center and not in my office. I will check my records when I get home to see exactly what the status of your credit is. I hope this is satisfactory but it probably wont be. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to assist.'

Susan Gehant
Comptroller

Another example of the way this business feels about its customers!!! I was under the assumption that good customer service WAS making a customer feel as if they WERE the only ones in the world!!!

I can recommend "Foam Sweet Foam" I ordered a mattress and it was delivered in a week. Excellent quality and we sleep in the greatest confort!

We still like it! The pillow top has compacted a bit, but the bed is still comfortable for us.
