A few years ago, thanks to this forum, I purchased a latex-free mattress from mygreenmattress.com, and could not be happier with it! I now find myself needing to buy a full size mattress for my guest room, but it looks like mygreenmattress has discontinued their latex free mattress!
First, about me: I am 5ft 7inches, about 180lbs, athletic build. I have always suffered from back pain, and need a firm or very-firm mattress. I am allergic to latex, and sleep too hot when on foams and gels. I live in Massachusetts, so any mattress option needs to be shipped here.
Second, what I want out of a mattress: a full size mattress, no latex, no or low foam/gel, and for the mattress to be firm or very firm. My big ask is to find something in the $1000-$1500 range.
We offer free shipping to Massachusetts via FedEx, which should be helpful. I noticed you want to avoid latex and foams, but it’s worth mentioning that the Beloit mattress you’re considering does contain some foam, whereas the Naturepedic you found is completely foam-free but comes at a higher price point.
If minimal foam is acceptable, you might want to check out our Classic 12" or Essential models. Both are flippable, offer a firm feel for most people. They fall within your price range as well, making them solid options to consider.
However, if you’d prefer strictly latex and foam-free, we currently don’t have options like that. For other nearby manufacturers, I’d recommend looking into Gardner Mattress, Portland Mattress Makers, Yankee Mattress, Sigma Mattress, and The Mattress Maker of New England, as they sell direct in Massachusetts and may have firmer, latex-free options that meet your needs.
We are relatively new to the forum and have joined since your first posting. Good to meet you! We’ve been offering Naturepedic, as well as many other sustainable brands, for quite some time.
The Naturepedic Chorus is on sale right now, which puts it within your price range in full size.
If you would like to try it, we have one in our showroom, which may be within driving distance.
I don’t know where you are at in Massachusetts, but we have many people from Massachusetts who shop at our Portsmouth, NH showroom - pretty accessible from the eastern and northern parts of MA. And there is no sales tax in NH!
Our locations are listed here (scroll down to see Portsmouth)
We are also happy to consult by phone. Let us know if we can help! Good luck.
I hope your search is going well! It seems like you have gotten some good advice from some experts in here.
Our Classic 12" Ultra Firm and Classic 8" Simple-Firm Hybrids both use very little foam and we can completely take out the foam, if requested. It would just be pocketed coils, wool and cotton. (this would add slightly to the standard prices).
