Pure Green Organic Latex Mattress - Firm - Cal KingOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100Fair for LifeFair for Life

I chose this based on reviews and price. Well worth it. I am a side sleeper. If you are used to sinking into the mattress, this is NOT for you. It is very firm, almost extra firm, which is what I like.

I'm only two nights in, but I'm already loving this. I ordered a firm 'cuz I'm a big guy (6'2", 240) and a side sleeper who has never been truly comfortable, except on an air mattress, but the price of those is simply insane. Tried several foam types, but they all lie, both about sleeping cool and not developing significant sagging. The foam is also an ecological catastrophe, before and after, and you get all of that delightful off-gassing of petro-chemical goodness to envelope you all night. Yeah, I'll pass.Now the latex is very different, and I'd suggest trying one out at a local store if you can, 'cuz they may not be to your liking, but I can tell already that this one is not going to sag and fail the way my padt inner spring & foam mattresses have. I may yet need to add some sort of topper, but given the lack of chemical stink and worry that the latex provides, I'll be back to try one of their toppers next. My wife is tiny (5'6", 110) and she is definitely not a fan, but she is the literal embodiment of the princess and the pea. Still, I think a soft latex topper may convince her (we have a split king w/ articulating bases, so we can each pick what we like).Speaking of which, the latex also works great with my articulating bed frame. They absolutely are heavy, but I just flipped it end over end to get it up the stairs and onto the frame. Then I carefully cut off the box and began to unwrap the yards of brown paper that keeps it rolled up. You absolutely want to do that in place 'cuz trying to wrangle this bad boy by yourself once it's open would be akin to what I expect handling a dead body would be like. A side benefit of its weight is that the bottom sheet stays put, even with my nightly manipulations of the articulating bed frame. All in all, and especially for this money, I could not be happier, but I warn again, when they say firm, this mattress really is, so you may want to err on the side of ordering a step down from what you may be used to with the foam and inner spring alternatives

To deal with back pain I needed to get a new mattress. I didn’t like the squishy Tempur-pedic mattress I’d been using and I wanted a mattress that would work with my heated mattress pad. I’ve purchased latex mattresses in the past and know they are comfortable and last forever with normal use.The mattress arrived a little late, but the company was good about letting me know about the delay. It arrived by Fed-Ex, and I’m honestly surprised the guy got it up my porch stairs. I ordered a full-sized mattress folks which came to 120 lbs. Don’t underestimate that weight. I ended up having to hire two strong guys to get it to my 2nd floor bedroom. The vendor allows for returns after a trial period, but how the heck would you get it back to them? It arrives compressed and rolled up for easy set up. And I imagine the cost of return shipping would be substantial. So if you buy this mattress, be prepared to commit to the purchase.I didn’t notice a smell coming off the mattress, but that’s partially because this is natural latex. I used it from day one and, once I got used to having a firm mattress again, I like it a lot. It’s easier to roll over in bed opposed to my prior Tempur-pedic mattress. I feel like my back pain has lessened, although I’m also doing other things to address that problem, and I think that I sleep better. I know that this mattress will last me as long as I want it, and I’ll probably be able to hand it down to my family. Consumer Reports rated this mattress highly, and I agree with them. While not bargain basement, the price was better than comparable natural latex mattresses. I recommend this item.

The mattress arrived quickly in perfect condition, but I have to say, it was difficult to push up a flight of stairs onto our bed. TIP: After removing the old mattress, haul the unopened box onto your bed and carefully slice down the length of the box to then carefully peel back the many layers of paper that secure the new unit in a roll. (Don't worry, it won't pop open if you go slowly and systematically.)We have not slept on it yet, but I intend to take a nap after it comes to its full size - that was quite a workout!
