I'm searching to replace my 16 yr plus (flippable) mattress...also am considering Mr Mattress here in Vancouver BC....or bought one from North Shore linens for their latex mattress: https://www.northshorelinens.com/dunlop-latex-mattresses/

can anyone suggest any other places...i'm 200 lb (have to lose 30lb) and am both a side and back sleeper..

a few other questions, please:

-how thick do i need it (would be just for me) 6'' or 8'' ? ...and I can I still rotate/flip it each 2 mo or so to extend longevity?.

-and when buying a platform for a latex mattress i am told to ensure the slats are not more than 3-6'' or so in space from one another...any good shops to buy such (again in in the lower mainland, BC)

-i have back issues and also can sleep hot: so would medium or firm be best (my current bed is plus with a pillow top)...i like something that has support but also give and conforms to my back

thanks!

I'm super tall & 200lbs, my partner is average height & 120lbs. Both of us are both side & stomach sleepers (maybe 60/40) I have a lower back pain issue for the past 2 years so I'm looking for a suitable Latex Mattress. My partner prefers good support too.

No partner disturbance is a must - I tend to move a lot so in case of regular mattresses (like spring / foam) it wakes her up easily.

Budget is around CAD1500, but mainly need a mattress that's easily available in Canada. US has so many options but Canada doesn't :/

We are going to make the leap and get a king mattress but since this is my first time buying my own mattress im feeling quite overwhelmed. I want something that will last but that will also give a good sleep.

For context we are both average weight and six or so feet tall. Side and stomach sleepers. We want something firm but maybe with a bit of pillow top and since we both are warm sleepers we want to avoid memory foam. I’ve read through the mattress FAQ guide on this sub and im leaning toward latex but don’t know that I’ve ever slept on one, what to consider, what brands to look for etc. can anyone provide some experiences suggestions advice?

Hi Guys!

My husband and I were looking at all latex mattresses today and fell in love, but sadly the cost is above our budget. The mattress would run at least 4K, and the highest we really want to go is about 2K. I have read a lot about diymattress.net in the States, but I don't think they ship to Canada. Do we have any equivalent here?

Does anyone have any suggestions for all latex mattresses that they have purchased and are loving?

It is important to me for it to be organic and all-natural latex. We tested out a 9" and an 11" GreenSleep mattress today and they were all Dunlop latex, with 3-4" of firm on the bottom, 3-4" medium in the middle and 3" soft on the top with the ability to switch those around for comfort level.

Thanks in advance! :)

My wife and I need to replace our ~13 year old memory foam mattress and for a few reasons I think latex is the way for us to go. I haven't been able to find any local retailers that carry latex for us to try, so if I order one online I'll be going into this blind. Each of the sites have the calculators that suggest a model based on weight, sleeping position and other preferences. Also, many have salespeople that will help guide you through the process. However, making a buying decision for a mattress that I haven't tried seems like a risky proposition. I really don't want to order, decide I don't like it and send it back only to go through the exact process again. Most sites will let you replace individual layers to get the feel you want, but I don't want to go through that hassle if I can avoid it.

Soooo.....has anyone been in my shoes? Did you get it right the first time?

PS: shout-out to FloBeds. You can order samples from them; I should get mine later this week. They are on my short list.

Hi all, looking to replace our well worn pocket spring mattress, it was an Ikea hybrid with memory foam on top. My partner generally wants a firm mattress, I want a slightly more soft. I sleep on my back mostly but sometimes my side. After some amount of research, I am leaning to trying a latex hybrid mattress. Queen size.

I would really appreciate any thoughts or comments!

My top consideration is this one so far:

$729 https://hardcoremattress.ca/product/the-14-crown-hybrid-latex-pocket-coil-mattress/

Futher detail on specs here , from another store but appears to be the same. Assembly as follows:

• 2" Aerated Talalay Latex Foam

• 2″ Medium Firm Foam Topper

  • can't find specs on exactly what this is but assume some type of memory foam

  • this is the layer I am questioning the most, as not sure if it would make the assembly be too soft or sleep hot, seems that just latex over coils might be better

• 1100 5- Zone Pocket Coil Support Core

  • can't find further specs on the coils

  • assume 9" based on total assembly height

I also like the price point, but can't find many reviews about the company and more importantly the mattress, so would be a bit more blind considering their is no showroom.

The 7/10 “Plush Firm” sounds about right, I would guess the mix of foam and latex would be a bit softer than only latex and coils, and the talalay also a bit more soft then dunlop latex. So maybe this is a good hedge.

$1,400 This one seems like a bit more ideal of an assembly, but more expensive.

• https://hamuq.com/products/the-hamuq-organic

$2,195 Even more expensive but appreciate the flexiblity of layers

• https://en.memoryfoamcomfort.ca/products/cumulus-hybrid-coil-latex-mattress

$600 Briefly considered this, but it is the same price point as the crown, but less 1" of latex and the dunlop variety. Though if I went with non latex hybrid this store has a lot of options and a showroom.

Many thanks for your input.

I've recently been relying a lot on this subreddit to purchase a new mattress. I'd heard so much about latex mattresses and they ticked a lot of the boxes I was looking for: better with heat retention, long lasting, and supportive (I'm approx. 210lbs, side sleeper). I looked into a lot of options and eventually decided to pull the trigger on a Naturelle mattress. I'm located in Canada so this may not be super relevant to those of you not located here but from what I read, they source their latex mattresses (Dunlop) from Latex Green and I believe lots of companies use Latex Green.

I also saw a lot of really sketchy and negative reviews about Naturelle online so was really hesitant to purchase but they had the best price for a full latex 10" mattress (6" firm core plus 2, 2" comfort layers). I also read a lot of skeptical reviews and comments about them not really being latex mattresses and doing shoddy business because their website does leave a lot to be desired. That being said, I can confirm that the mattress seems to be very legitimately latex (smells like latex) and the quality seems really good. The customer service was also really good and shipping was fast. The reviews I read about it feeling like firm jello are true - and it definitely feels so much firmer than my old bed-in-a-box foam mattress! It's probably a bit too firm for me and am planning to add a topper to soften it a bit. I wish I'd had a chance to try a latex mattrss out before ordering but I live in a small town and this just wasn't possible.

I hope this helps for anyone searching and wondering about some of the above. I know I went down the rabbit hole of searching and reading a lot and wished a thread like this existed. So I vowed I'd write a post once I knew if the mattress seemed legit!

Going down the rabbit hole that is mattress shopping. Have searched the sub but looking for additional insight. I'm 120lb mostly front and back sleeper, partner is about 240lb side sleeper, and we also bedshare with our baby and large dog at the moment (not interested in feedback on that choice please). Obviously we are having trouble fitting on a Queen so it's time for a King haha. Looking for:

• Organic. No weird chemically off-gassing for baby.

• Latex hybrid with coils

• Up to around 2k for a King

• COOL! Partner sleeps incredibly hot. I think latex + coils is good for this.

• Made in or available in Canada

Here's what I found:

Naturese Hybrid: ~$1500

Silk and Snow Organic: ~$1700

Hamuq Organic: ~$1700

Goldstream M6: ~$1800

Anything missing I should look into? Any recommendations for or against these?

Thanks!!

I guess I'm pretty sold on the latex mattress hype, so I'm looking to get one as my next mattress. Birch's mattress looks good, but it's US only. Right now I'm looking at Ghost, Silk & Snow, and Sleeponlatex. If you know something better, I'd love to know. My budget is $2000CAD. Any advice/comments is appreciated!

Can anyone recommend a supplier for good firm latex mattresses in Canada? I'm in Quebec province. We're upgrading to a king bed and our existing latex mattress won't fit!

Been reading a lot of great things about latex mattresses on this sub.

My husband and I share a king size bed and enjoy a firm but not too firm mattress (at least before they start sagging within 2 years).

Brands, models, experiences, recommendations for latex mattresses are appreciated.

And which do you prefer? A hybrid latex or a 100% latex?

I’m a side sleeper

I have been overwhelmed with all the options available online and also how I can't find anywhere nearby to try anything out! If I Google something like "natural latex mattress showroom" I can't even find anything out about where one might be. I don't even know if I'd like dunlop or talalay better.

I do want to go with something both GOLS and GOTS certified, so that weeds some of the more popular brands out. I think my remaining options include Latex for Less, Sleep on Latex, SleepEZ, and Avocado. There may be a couple I'm forgetting. (PlushBeds!) Looks like Sleep on Latex and Latex for Less both use dunlop only.

Does anyone have advice on how I can figure out where to feel talalay and dunlop nearby? Or on how to finally choose a brand?

Hi All,

Looking for recommendations on websites for all latex mattress purchase. Which websites or brick and mortar places do you recommend?

I am looking to purchase a 9 inch 3 layer split king mattress. Any idea how much it will cost me for the config?

Hi, I want to get an organic/natural latex free of most toxic stuff as possible. I heard about the brand Essentia(Canada) and Avocado Green. Heard good and bad stuff about both.

Lots of review rave about avacado green but I also seen quite a lot of user who complained about it sagging/back pain after 1 year.

So now I'm not sure what to get.

Prefer it med-firm. Something that I can actually get in Canada. I did look up on Costco and they have the Essential grateful 8. I might get that and if it doesn't work out and if not I can return it (I LOVE YOU COSTCO)

Budget: under 5k CDN

looked at sleep on latex but there's not much review so I'm not too sure either.

Thanks!

I am a 100 lbs single woman trying to decide on a new mattress.

Needs to be:

• at least medium firm

• good for a hot sleeper

• natural/organic materials

Wants:

• not too heavy to move

• made in Canada

I am leaning towards the Silk & Snow Organic but I have heard that it is too heavy to be rotated alone, which is a bit of a drawback.

Once I came across a chart that compared a bunch of the most popular mattress brands including weight, firmness etc, does anyone have that link?

I've searched through a number of posts on here, but every link or retailer mentioned is for a company based in the US. Are there places in Canada that offer something along these lines?

Title!

Currently sleep deprived and seething on edge of my visibly sagging memory foam Serta mattress, trying to demystify mattress manufacturing concepts. (Is this a quintessential, 21st century, early-30s experience?) this is our 2nd mattress in less than 10 years and I am all done with trusting mattress marketing.

What latex mattress do you have, how long have you had it, and how is it going?

Bonus: DIY stans please link to your favorite guide.

After doing some research and trying them out in mattress stores, my girlfriend and I are looking to buy a latex mattress. However, there seem to be so many to choose from. Does anyone have any experience with ones that were particularly good? Ones to avoid? If we should avoid them altogether?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

For reference, I am 185lb side and sometimes back sleeper. My girlfriend is 125 and mainly a back sleeper.

Looking at buying a full latex mattress.

‘Once you go latex, you don’t go back’, is what I have been told by two different salespeople.

Is full latex the be all end all? Worth the hype or over hyped? So many different prices from different sellers which is confusing.
