Update, I still like this guy but I love his mattresses better. I have already purchased twice from him about a year ago and another 3 years. Absolutely no issues with the mattresses they are still performing like brand new. I have one set for me and one set for my daughter and now another family member wants one, so I am about to purchase another one. I highly recommend don't waste your money on all the other garbage. I suffered from back pain and for at least 40 years because of sleeping on crappy mattresses it all went away when I finally started sleeping on these types of mattresses I am now 68 years old.
I have had my Sleep Essentials mattress now for about a year. It is exactly like it came out of the box. I love it! I am never going to buy anything else, when a mattress in my house needs replacing! I have had them all! The Temper Pedic, Restonic, BeautyRest....never again. Thank you for making this for us who needs great back support!
After a lot of research, we determined we wanted chemical free, Dunlop Latex Mattress.We totally agree, we sleep cooler and without hip pain. Their pricing was more than fair, and knowledge exceptional. After 6 months we love our Sleep Essentials Dunlop Latex mattress !!!
I'm so glad it was helpful. Is there any questions I can answer? Please, if so, check out our website www.sleepessentials.com where you can leave us a message. Thanks.
Very interesting and informative video. I have a natural latex mattress that I bought for UK£20 from a friend. It's decades old and is still the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on - even when paced on a rigid base.
There you go! Another testimonial of the durability and comfort of a latex mattress. Now you know why I started making my own instead of selling big brand name junk.
I regret it’s been about four years and I have not left this great man feedback. As someone said and I will second that comment! I love my mattress today as much as I Did the day I bought it. Fast shipping and very easily assembled. I am 73 years old, have all kinds of back problems (scholiosis), which I know wii get worse….fibromyalgia…so I’m in 24/7 pain except when I’m lying on my solid latex mattress from Sleep solutions. I can tell you he knows what he is talking about because I have probably owned 10 different ones….including the high dollar ones. You will not regret purchasing a latex mattress from Sleep Solutions, Roanoke, Va. Happy Snoozing!
We are Sleep Essentials but solutions is true too! Thanks for commenting with your wonderful testimonial and please be sure to share the video with your friends and family.
We bought one of his mattresses and he is telling the truth. It made a difference in how we sleep. Lowering my chemical load by sleeping on a fire retardant free mattress gives me peace of mind. You truly will get him on the phone when you call. Great customer service and no pressure. His product is worth the investment. The other videos he refers to are very informative.
Ok I read every comment and watched the entire vid. I like the idea of latex for a few reasons. Longevity without the sag, springy enough to be able to roll around on the bed, and air flow, all natural is a bonus. I have been shopping hybrids and ultimately I think I would like a zippered hybrid with latex on top. I have a bad shoulder, achy hips, and currently a tweaked back :( so I " think " i want a bed that feels soft but somehow is still supportive. I live in Northern Va near Dulles Airport and went to college very close to your store. I am just crazy enough to drive 4 hours to get the right bed....but u never really know its the right bed until u have slept on it for a while I assume. So my questions are....1. Do you sell hybrids? 2. Is there any added benefit of a full latex support system over the hybrid system? Thank you.....great vid
Another reason for our three layer all latex is you can much better modify the firmness if you need to by replacing a top, bottom, or middle layer. With a spring unit, you are stuck with the firmness of that spring unit.
Not so fast. Look up "complaints". BBB has some really horrible complaints against this guy. Beware. He is also really expensive too. You can "DIY latex mattress" for way less. It is the same latex he uses and the same process if you DIY your own latex mattress. The encasement on these other sites is much better with the zipper along the top and is super great quality. What he did do was alert us consumers that we can build our own mattress.
@@wadedog4280 Buy from these guys sleeponlatex. Small company, great customer. Call them and ask any questions. They actually have real people at the facility to pick up the phone
Thank you for the truth Been doing research for a week everywhere. All over the net,.every store that sells from eBay to Amazon or any store online that sells Dunlop or talalay product. This really helped me make a decision. Hate wasting money like everyone else.
Excellent informative video thanks for sharing im about to pull the trigger on a 3-inch latex topper. This helped me to understand what crap amazon sells with a fancy certification that means nothing
We almost bought a bed in a box mattress. So thankful we saw your videos. Ordered one of yours!! We get it next week. We can't wait!! Thank you, thank you. Finally someone who is honest. Thank you and God Bless you.
I'd LOVE to live in the States and therefore be able to buy your mattress, it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Unfortunately I don't and therefore I can't, but I still want to thank you loads for all this very useful information that will allow me to choose more wisely among the options I do have available. All the best to you and your caring business!
We have three mattresses that are over 11 years old, Dunlop latex is in the upper comfort layer, while the base is a quality foam. They have stood up incredibly well, and the mattresses never had any odour to them from the beginning. I believe that in the past 10 years or so, foam has become very toxic. Most new mattresses smell terribly and many simply do not off gas at all! My problem however is that I require a second mattress for another home, as I can't keep taking my mattress back and forth with me, which I have done. I am very sensitive to both chemicals and natural materials; wool for example is a product I simply can't sleep on. However, I have also struggled with latex. I have a Dunlop latex topper (2" soft) that is supposed to be GOLS certified, made by Earthfoam. I have tried to sleep on this repeatedly and always end up feeling just awful after I do; tired, achey and I can't seem to get out of bed. I would desperately like to purchase another bed for my other home, and I am very interested in purchasing one of your beds, but I'm concerned that I will react the same way as I have to my topper. But since I am fine with the latex in my old mattress, I am willing to take a chance. Do you have any thoughts on why I have such an issue with my current latex topper? It looks exactly like the foam you have and it smells like rubber.
Glad I found your videos! Have had several surgeries over the last couple of years (lumbar spine, hip) and also have arthritic shoulders. Have heard nothing but good things about latex, so thanks for your detailed information. Will be calling!
Thanks for your kind comments. Though this video only has gotten 1200 views, my complete mattress education as seen by many more: th-cam.com/video/d3KdIvKpSn0/w-d-xo.html
Yes ,I was doing my home work on latex and wanted to fine the best mattress with the best reliable company. Then i saw you here .This is so very important to know . Thankyou .
Man he is very honest and tells everything I need to know, but how am I gonna know numerous brands out there using 100% natural no chemical latex? What mattress he is selling? Mind sharing?
That’s just what happened to me! I bought a Berkeley Ergonomics bed “Redondo” from Goodnight Beds in Rancho Palos Verdes and I now have low back pain every morning upon arising. My low back pain resolves within 30 minutes when I’m up, but, now I’m dreading going to bed when I used to love going to bed on my first Talalay Interactive Coil Hybrid Berkerley Ergonomics bed from the now defunct Ergo Customized Comfort in Irvine, CA. I am a petite side sleeper and I feel I have made a huge blunder spending over $4,000 and now I have back pain for the first time in my life. I know box mattresses have a generous 100-day sleep trial and return policy but I don’t know about this man’s return policy. I chose The Berkeley Ergonomics as it was natural and while the Goodnight Beds man said the technology hasn’t changed, I know this bed is causing my stiffness and pain. I prefer a bed that is soft but supportive and comforting, like a luxe hotel bed. But, what is that? Innersprings? Hybrids? I’ve got to figure this out ASAP as I’ve had painful sleep for the past six weeks. Help! What can J do, please?
Thank you so much for this great info; I’ve been searching online for awhile and accidentally came across your video, I really felt as if I was in a training class, you have taught me so much. Best tlc
Watch all or many of my videos then go watch videos review videos by Sleepopolis or CNET Home or Mattress Clarity or Our Sleep Guide and you'll laugh at the useless information and then you will realize these reveiw video channels are nothing more than paid advertisements, not real information. Thanks for your comments.
This is great to see. I am looking into a latex mattress so glad that some are not what they say they are. It is a shame that this happens but I guess when they think they can make a buck they will do what ever they can to buy cheap and sell high.
I'm so glad yo have listened to your video i sent the video to my daughter so she can learn from it to. At least now i know the difference i bought a mattress which was the first time in foam it lasted 3 months now this one i also bought from same Sam's club im going to return because my back has gotten worse i bet its from mattress. I cant take soft cause that would make my back more have more pain. Im going to look at what you have but first i have to deal with Sam's to return and get my money back. This mattress is about 1 1/2 but ive switched it sidesbecause of the indentation i cant stand that i roll into it. So im glad i listened to your video and learn of all the stuff thats in mattress maybe thats why i get so sick. Thank you very informative. Genevieve Valle
Thank you for showing us the difference between these mattresses. Im in the middle of buying a mattress . I know now that im going to buy a latex mattress. But it will be hard to find a double where i live. And im skeptical of ordering one online from a company.
I ordered the AR2 on Jan. 6, 2022 and can't wait to get it. I've been suffering for years and tried a few different mattresses and none of them helped with my back issues. I have 2 bulging disks in my lumbar area of my back. I very rarely get more than an hour of sleep a night and I'm exhausted all the time. The bed can't get here fast enough.
I see that use use 3 layers of 3” Dunlop latex (in personalized preference) for each bed. Does this height meet the needs of a heavier person (over 250) without “bottoming out” or would you recommend one more layer? TY
Dang, I'm not trying to let my house burn down, but I also don't want to wake up on fire. This guy has incredible integrity to tell us this information, but I just don't trust myself on that mattress after knowing that.
Then ask yourself this simple question, how did humans survive with non flame proof beds before 2007 when this new fire retardant regulation when into effect?
I am thankful you can do that. I don't think that option is available in the UK. The only option is wool and I'm severely allergic to wool. It doesn't have to touch my skin; I can't inhale the off gas from wool (trust me, I've tested this out with soft wool that didn't make my skin itch). Good on you for selling dunlop without flame retardant covers.
I appreciated this entire video until you referred to ‘the little old lady’!! Please adjust that mentality for your sales approach! I will take a look at your offerings after this. I’m waiting until CST to put in a call to another company after doing extensive research. I’m just about ready to hit the buy button. I am originally from Petersburg, VA. Your accent is very familiar. 😊 Thanks for the great info. I’m inspired to continue studying. Made the mistake of buying memory foam 8 years ago and I’m now in a position to shift mattresses.
Question. If you put only Bamboo cover. You still need to zip the mattress correct? Also then you have to put thin sheet over that. Wont that make the mattress less effective to contour to your body just like the wool cover mattress?
If you haven't gotten your question answered, it's no. Material naturally gives. Any material will give. Hope you bought one of his beds. I was a house manager,25 yrs so many people had terrible mattresses. I looked at latex 20 years ago. I recommended latex to any home owner and non other.
Just started to work at a matress seling place with dunlop pure natural matresses good info righttt thereee🙏 especially the part where talalay is a better more modern method in the "manufacturer eyes " not for the consumer
I purchased a sleep number bed in 2016 an the egg style foam that it came with has failed and I'm wondering if purchasing a 100% all natural Dunlop latex topper would be a good idea to replace the foam that came with the bed, I really need help please
The old titanium spring Stearns and fosters were very good. The new method is pocket coils with single or dual layer foam on top each coil, I haven't tried those yet but saatva and Stearns and Foster for example are doing that. I have to agree that latex mattresses are the best possible mattresses. I've tried hundreds of beds over the years and been to different showrooms as I just taken interest in things like that. I do work a construction job and I do have arthritis. I bought an olive latex hybrid with the Euro Top and it's definitely the best bed I've ever tried. It has a lifetime warranty and I'm told the avocado latex hybrid is produced in the same factory so they're the same with different labels.
One thing you are missing because you haven't seen my complete mattress education video on my home page www.sleepessentials.com. That is, the toxic fire retardants in all mattresses today. Ours are free from all chemicals and glass fibers.
I'm reading captioning here...but did he say talalay is more DURABLE than dunlop? No no no. Opposite. But creapy memory foam is horrible. Tried to sleep on it in someone's guest room. I weigh in the low. 120s, and felt like I was sinking down into a hot smothering sponge.
No, I said that Dunlop is more durable than Talalay IF it is all natural. The key is no synthetic and since most talalay is a synthetic blend, it is less durable.
I, like many pple, thought talalay was a superior product. I'm glad to know it's not and that they are both the same, just made through a different process.
Well, actually they are most of the time, not the same because 95 percent of all Talalay latex is a synthetic blend and synthetic is not as durable as all natural. Ours in not only all natural, you will know it is all natural because it is all GOLS standard certified organic. This means there are no synthetic latex in our latex. Let me know if I can help you further.
Oeko-Tex is a certification of being free of VOCs and harmful substances. GOLS means more than that. That the latex is produced in a method that is certified organic. Meaning no pesticides on the trees nor chemical fertilizers used on the trees. And lastly all ingredients used in the production of the foam is also organic.
@@SleepEssentials I noticed on your buildamattress.com web page that you now have the GOLS certification but in the video Lee states that the latex he sells is natural but without certification from GOLS?
The fire retardant most companies use is a chemical spray they use on the cover of the mattress so it doesn't burn fast. Natural and organic latex mattress companies use wool cover instead of chemicals because wool doesn't burn until the fire is 500 degrees.
So how do they manufacture a specific firmness for a Dunlop latex mattress? I can't find anything about it which makes me wonder if they're BSing people by saying something is firm and charging more for it.
We don't charge more for the different firmnesses but to explain how the latex is more or less dense, a more dense foam has less air bubbles in it whereas a softer piece of foam has more air bubbles in it. More latex dense equals firmer. Less latex dense equals softer.
These comments sound so fake. All these people gushing about how honest and authentic this guy is. He may be, but how on earth would you know?? Because he is upfront about his non-certified mattresses and the non-fire-retardant covers he sells? He sure better be upfront about them or he could be in legal trouble. Doesn't mean his products are any good. And the Hillary comment was a classy touch.
I bought this, last November and within 3 months I starting to wake up with lower back pain, neck issues, and hip issues, bought the kind the store owner uses. One of the big reasons I bought it, does not break down. however does not do me good if one keeps waking up with back issues, Hip, and neck. Note it is not just me my wife also is waking up with back issues. So today I bought a MyPillow Pillow topper that will go over this bed. 3" with a 60-day trial. Looking forward, or should I say hoping to wake up with no back issues or hip or neck. Let me know if anyone has found a bed that when you wake up one has no pain! Thanks if you have any questions let me know. 'I am 64 years old and my wife is younger.
Did this guy fix the problem for you?? More than likely that is a big fat NO. That is why you bought a topper from MyPillow. He has some really bad complaints all over the internet and the BBB.
Hi, can you tell us you and your wife's height and weight, sleeping positions, and what type and firmness of mattress you slept on before moving to a latex mattress? Did you contact him and ask what your options were to make it better for you? What I find a lot is the subjectivity of the issue people have without any indication of the objectivity of the situation. You did not mention anything about what you used to sleep on on, or how much your weigh, etc. For example, if your old mattress was medium to very firm, and you move to a much softer mattress, well of course you are going to notice some issues. Same if you go from medium to soft and move to a firm mattress. Also, even though you are over the 60 day trial this guy offers, did you contact him and tell him of your issues? If not, why not? Maybe he is willing to try to make it right? How would you know if you did not try? Objectively, for it to take 3 months for your aches and pains to show up seems a little odd to me. I'm not denying what you are experiencing, I'm just pointing out that most people will have issues much more quickly. I sleep on a medium mattress now. If I go to my in-laws and sleep on the concrete block mattress in the guest room, well guess what? In a night or two, I'm stiff and sore and uncomfortable. The aches and pains are usually the result of the different joint and spine alignments. Ask any chiropractor. If your back or neck were used to being "bent" every night, and then you alight them properly, you may notice some aches as your body adjust to being straight. But that should go be noticed and then go away rather quickly. If you lay on this bed and immediately noticed "wow, way softer than what we are used to" well than I would say that it is going to be TOO soft for your liking. Also, if you are BACK SLEEPERS, then moving to a softer mattress almost ALWAYS result in back issues from what I have seen. Side sleeper prefer softer as your shoulder need to sink deeper as it protrudes more. I would like to know what adding another topper did if anything, what FIRMNESS the topper was, and if you have seen any improvements? And also what your came FROM and your physical attributes would be helpful to get an idea of what to look for. Thanks!
What are your thoughts on the Brand SavyRest?? They are only Gols certified for Dunlop. Have you heard of them people swear by them. Can you please let me know. Thank you
Ours is better because ours has no flame retardant chemicals and don't pay any attention to any company's claims they don't use chemicals because they either use chemicals or silica. THEY LIE.
@@SleepEssentials The wool Covering mattress that you Offer is it Purely Wool nothing else blended in it or is it like every other companies and Only the Bamboo cover is Chemical free? Also from my understading it take a great amount of Chemicals in the prosses of making Bamboo? I ask because i'd rather buy something that is 100% as natural as possible also are your mattress rearrangeable? Do they come with a Zipper? Apparantly SavyRest does have a GOLS certification however i can understand that at the end of the day it is business and need to pass laws or ragulations
@@alfonsoramirez6415 We don't offer a wool covering and never have. Wool is a "cover" for the chemicals companies are using. In other words, they all use chemicals but they use wool to claim they meet the strict regulations with wool. This is a lie. Wool burns easily unless it is treated or there is another fire barrier in or under the wool. Our covers are now Tencel, which is only about 30 percent and the rest is polyester to make it a stretch knit. BUT, nothing is treated with any fire retardant chemicals. That is where we differ from all other companies. So what if some company has GOLS latex or GOTS fabric if they still have a toxic fire barrier sock or some other barrier? And every company lies about this because they are forced to by our sick paid-for, paid-off government. Yes, our covers are zippered so you can arrange the layers but I don't advise that because putting soft under firm will cause a hammock effect which will curve your spine. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
@@SleepEssentials Well i guess you can't have it all in this world! The first thing that shows up when i Googled (Is Polyester toxic) is an article "Polyester Shouldn't Be In Your Bed: 9 reasons why" hahaha. As a potentiol customer i have questions of course. Have you ever thought of just an Organic Cotton Cover instead of the one you offer? When we look for "Organic" or natural i belive many of us or me in this case don't care too much about aesthetics as long as the product is a good one. I am very sentative to Synthetic smells etc. I am in the process of changing my mattress because i don't want to end up with permanent neurological damage lately i have been having hart palpitations when i wake up and DRs say every is fine with me like they always do when they don't have asnwers I've had work done and nothing i'm thinking it's the mattress.
@@alfonsoramirez6415 We used to offer the "organic cotton" story but that was all it was, was a story. Organic is the most used word for marketing when it isn't even remotely true. Virtually no one has 100 percent organic cotton because it discolors from a person's body oils and moisture and thus looks dirty and washing it doesn't fix it. So almost all "organic cotton" is really only 20-25 percent organic, the rest is bleached cotton, thus not organic. Learning this, I switched to Tencel because it is supposed to be (notice I said is supposed to be as I have no proof) cooler to sleep on than cotton. And in saying this, my Tencel covers are only 30 percent Tencel, the rest is polyester. I have on occasion told people for illustrative purposes that if they really want and need organic, they had better grow it themselves, harvest it themselves, weave it themselves, and sew it themselves. Otherwise the likelihood of a purely organic fabric is zero. Just being honest. Is your mattress making you sick? I'd be willing to bet on it. My neighbor has been fighting throat cancer in her late 40s. Yes, she drinks diet sodas but she also sleeps in a Tempur Pedic which has been proven to have formaldehyde in them which is a carcinogen. So not only is a Tempur Pedic polyurethane foam waste dump, but it is also treated with formaldehyde. Or, I should say, used to be treated with formaldehyde. Since the class action lawsuit in Texas for the VOCs and formaldehyde in TP, they've probably switched to something else. This is not an indictment of TP, it is an indictment that the US government is a fake bought and paid for government. Let me know if you have further questions. Call me if you'd like at 540-397-2337 or if you really want to converse via messaging, send me an email to lee@sleepessentials.com. Thanks!
the one thing that keeps me from ordering is knowing what firmness/softness to go with? I have a synthetic foam mattress right now and its 20 yrs old but its like sleeping own a hammock.
This is why we have a Comfort Assurance policy wherein we will modify the firmness you chose at no cost to you except shipping. Go to sleepessentials.com/comfort-assurance-policy/

I'm somewhat confused. Wool is a naturally stretchy material--more so than most other fibers natural and synthetic. It's like a natural version of spandex/lycra. Wool in knit form is super stretchy. I suppose a super tight, woven wool fabric could be somewhat less stretchy, but it will still have some stretch.
Yes just enough to not support you as well. Tightly woven wool is less conforming to the give and dip and support of a latex mattress but better protection from fire. Less tightly woven wool is more stretchy.
@@stephanieroberts1394 What?? "Just enough to not support you"? The wool layer isn't supposed to be for support. It's a fire retardant and it's supposed to stretch and move with the latex.
I like sleep on my side I looking for mattress that does not cause hip pain back pain shoulder I do not toss and turn at night I heard few things about Dunlap mattress just wondering I like mattress be not wicked soft but not to hard either something in middle of both .I heard soft mattress are easily to carry into bedroom
@@melaniecarter1187 many thanks for the reply, so even synthetic latex can last 10x as long as Lux foam ?.......so natural latex would last forever then ?..........how durable is High Resilience foam then ?
@@worstalentscout Dunlop Latex is VERY durable and long lasting. Natural Talalay Latex will need to be replaced in about 3-4 years. Synthetic latex does fare well for longevity, but the chemicals?? Unless they are completely aired out then it is not a natural product anymore. Most Synthetic latex products are cheaper to make and the ratio is around 15-30% latex and the rest are Synthetic components.
DO YOU SELL ONE OF THESE MATTRESS'S FOR REGULAR KING SIZE BEDS THAT SPLIT WE ALSO WANT TO BUY THE THINGY THAT THE MATTRESS SITS ON WITH LIGHTS AND VIBRATOR TOP OF THE LINE ONE I THINK..

WE ALSO DON'T WANT THE COOLING MATTRESS'S WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD ORDER FROM YOU AND DO YOU HAVE A LINK WE COULD CLICK ON TO BUY FROM YOU.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ALSO...
Yes, and we sell the very best adjustable beds. Go to our website www.sleepessentials.com and watch some of my videos demonstrating the adjustable beds.
I went to your site, 500$ for a latex topper is insane , I know latex it high , but 500 for just a topper is ripping people off, I've done all kinds of research on latex I've never seen latex 500$ for a queen size topper, that's crazy!! I paid 380 off a actual shop , all natural topper , talalay topper 3in thick, it's 1500 for 3 of yours and it doesn't say how thick your topper is,
@@scottg1767 you are sadly mistaken about what I can afford but I'm not ignorant either. You can go to Arizona mattress, or sleep on latex which are certified latex toppers. And why don't you buy a couple of them if you are so gain on it. No ones stopping you !
Lots of good info, thanks. Can one mitigate the loss of "feel/function" associated with the wool cover by buying a thinner latex bed and adding a 3" talalay topper with a simple cotton cover? Thank you!
@T R Good luck on your search! I ended up buying a mattress from Lee at Sleep Essentials in late December. We happened to be driving through Roanoke and my wife wouldn't buy a mattress without trying it. Lee was very helpful with no pressure. We bought the AR-2 and he shipped it out immediately per our need. We like the feel of latex and it does not sleep warm in our experience of far. My wife is very picky and she loves it!
Appreciate the sharing of this information, it made the choice simple. However, I hope for his sake Hillary doesn't have financial interests in the other mattress products or we might hear of his untimely death lol. Keep up the hard work young man, you are likely to spike a a quality upgrade industry wide and that's a good thing. In the mean time I can't help but feel like I have been lied to by other companies. How could I give my business to someone who sees me as a dollar amount and not as a satisfied customer?
Thank you my friend for your kind comments. Indeed, shamefully, most mattress companies are liars, especially the big brand name companies - habitual liars so they should be referred to as Hillary mattress companies. Give me a call at 540-397-2337.
What do you think of Molded VS Continuous Pour Dunlop? They say Continuous Pour Dunlop is better but I need more information on it so could you possibly do a video on it?
We had an all latex mattress and it was a HUGE mistake! It is extreeeeemely heavy and veeeery difficult to move from room to room and house to house! If there were some way to enclose it in a frame with handles, then we might consider getting one in the future.
Indeed, any latex mattress of any significant thickness is really heavy and because they are foam, hard to handle because they are not rigid in any way but flop around like, well, rubber. This is another reason why our mattresses are better. They are made of three layers and a zip on cover. You can remove the cover and roll up each layer for easy moving.
I've had a latex mattress for the last 16 years and I love it. I ended on this page because I'm researching to replacing it with another latex. My only beef was the price and the weight. If you sleep on your side or have pain in the hips and shoulders latex mattress might suit you best. If you move a lot, pay someone to move it for you or get help.
Very nice. Although, I have a latex mattress from a manufacturer in the midwest who has been in biz for 30+ years and does direct to consumer. He also has separate layers and will allow customization of each side if there are partners. This is something you aren't able to do because, I suspect, you aren't manufacturing but having someone manufacture to your specifications. Anyway, great video.
Hello Mark. Would you please share who the manufacturer is? I have found one company in CA, Flobeds, that does something like you're describing. They are talalay only, and am not sure if they truly use all natural talalay. Also, how is the bed holding up? Thanks
Arizona Premium Mattress sells a bamboo, rayon or organic cotton, wool/cotton encasement. You dont need a dr. form. You can search "DIY latex mattress". Many companies selling latex slabs for you to build your own mattress
We can ship to Canada. Go to sleepessentials.com to get your total shipping costs after you enter into the cart what you want and then click "calculate shipping" and it will calculate for you. If you like what you see, place your order there and we will ship in a few days. Thanks!
Share with me about the new Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Soft bed? What have u heard on it, i have it ordered from Ashly's for next week, so please let me know ASAP!
I'm not familiar with each and every model by TP. If the law label says 100 percent polyurethane foam, it is plastic. It will soften with use if it is plastic foam. But the most important thing to concern yourself with is the fire retardant chemicals. I've had a TP mattress tested for antimony and it was positive. There is a class action lawsuit in Texas against TP for the VOCs in the mattresses. Learn more here: www.allenstewart.com/practice-areas/tempur-pedic-product-warning/
Look up "DIY latex mattress". There are many companies that will sell you pieces of latex to build your "own mattress" or a topper for about 50% less than what this guy charges. Same latex, same process and the encasement for the latex slabs much, much better. Sleep EZ, DIY mattress, Arizona Premium Mattress & Latex Mattress Factory. You build with the topper slabs. Arizona Premium Mattress has a 6" base slab of Dunlop or 2-3" slabs and my favorite encasement made of organic cotton, but the others have 2-3" slabs for you to build. Sleep EZ has a sale that ends tonight Aug 30,2021, but if you call them within the next 2 weeks they will honor the sales price.
Are you 100% sure it is "pure latex" and not a mix? I am suspect of Latex for Less. Why would this guy go to ALL THE TROUBLE to educate us to the truth and then rip us off. He has educated us, so now we know the truth.
@@fzr1000981 I posted a reply, dont know what happened to it. Yes "building your own latex mattress" is much cheaper". Look up DIY latex mattress. Here are a few companies that sell you pieces to make a mattress. Sleep EZ, DIY mattress, Arizona Premium Mattress and the one you posted Latex Mattress Factory. You can customize to suite your mattress preference. Dont forget the encasement for the latex pieces. Arizona Premium Mattress has the least expensive encasement, made of organic cotton which will let you feel your latex (my favorite). The others are more expensive and are much more firm. Sleep EZ has the same one as on many sites, on sale. They will honor the sales price after the sale ends (today Aug 30, 2021) for 2 weeks if you call them.
Thanks, I will try the Arizona mattress cover. I already purchased three, 3" Dunlop layers from Latex Mattress Company for $220/each (looks like they recently raised their prices). The layers are heavy, a six inch layer is almost too much to handle by yourself
@@fzr1000981 My post was mostly for other readers as you already know how to build a latex mattress for way, way less. That is a great point that the 6" Dunlop slab would be really heavy. You must have a double or a queen bed. I have a Cal King so much more $$ for me. Still much, much cheaper than this guy in the video and way less than most of the mattress makers. Plus, for us who build our own..we know exactly what is in it. I cant thank you enough for steering me to search DIY latex mattress building. Also this guy in the video has some really bad complaints on the internet and the BBB. I would not do business with this guy ever.

Update, I still like this guy but I love his mattresses better. I have already purchased twice from him about a year ago and another 3 years. Absolutely no issues with the mattresses they are still performing like brand new. I have one set for me and one set for my daughter and now another family member wants one, so I am about to purchase another one. I highly recommend don't waste your money on all the other garbage. I suffered from back pain and for at least 40 years because of sleeping on crappy mattresses it all went away when I finally started sleeping on these types of mattresses I am now 68 years old.
Wonderful testimonial. Thanks so much. Indeed, latex is the very best and with us, no chemicals.
You are 100% correct about Foam.You are 1000% correct about Dunlop - Ours is 20 years and counting and still feels new every night :)
I have had my Sleep Essentials mattress now for about a year. It is exactly like it came out of the box. I love it! I am never going to buy anything else, when a mattress in my house needs replacing! I have had them all! The Temper Pedic, Restonic, BeautyRest....never again. Thank you for making this for us who needs great back support!
After a lot of research, we determined we wanted chemical free, Dunlop Latex Mattress.We totally agree, we sleep cooler and without hip pain. Their pricing was more than fair, and knowledge exceptional. After 6 months we love our Sleep Essentials Dunlop Latex mattress !!!
What firmness did you choose?
Very educational and informative. Thank you for making this and opening my eyes up during my research.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Is there any questions I can answer? Please, if so, check out our website www.sleepessentials.com where you can leave us a message. Thanks.
Very interesting and informative video. I have a natural latex mattress that I bought for UK£20 from a friend. It's decades old and is still the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on - even when paced on a rigid base.
There you go! Another testimonial of the durability and comfort of a latex mattress. Now you know why I started making my own instead of selling big brand name junk.
Wow!Somebody telling the truth!Amazing!Thank you!
I regret it’s been about four years and I have not left this great man feedback. As someone said and I will second that comment! I love my mattress today as much as I
Did the day I bought it. Fast shipping and very easily assembled.
I am 73 years old, have all kinds of back problems (scholiosis), which I know wii get worse….fibromyalgia…so I’m in 24/7 pain except when I’m lying on my solid latex mattress from Sleep solutions. I can tell you he knows what he is talking about because I have probably owned 10 different ones….including the high dollar ones.
You will not regret purchasing a latex mattress from Sleep Solutions, Roanoke, Va.
Happy Snoozing!
We are Sleep Essentials but solutions is true too! Thanks for commenting with your wonderful testimonial and please be sure to share the video with your friends and family.
We bought one of his mattresses and he is telling the truth. It made a difference in how we sleep. Lowering my chemical load by sleeping on a fire retardant free mattress gives me peace of mind. You truly will get him on the phone when you call. Great customer service and no pressure. His product is worth the investment. The other videos he refers to are very informative.
Renee Biddy is it hot to sleep on
@@ronnawitus9274 No, it's not 😊
Ok I read every comment and watched the entire vid. I like the idea of latex for a few reasons. Longevity without the sag, springy enough to be able to roll around on the bed, and air flow, all natural is a bonus. I have been shopping hybrids and ultimately I think I would like a zippered hybrid with latex on top. I have a bad shoulder, achy hips, and currently a tweaked back :( so I " think " i want a bed that feels soft but somehow is still supportive. I live in Northern Va near Dulles Airport and went to college very close to your store. I am just crazy enough to drive 4 hours to get the right bed....but u never really know its the right bed until u have slept on it for a while I assume. So my questions are....1. Do you sell hybrids? 2. Is there any added benefit of a full latex support system over the hybrid system? Thank you.....great vid
Another reason for our three layer all latex is you can much better modify the firmness if you need to by replacing a top, bottom, or middle layer. With a spring unit, you are stuck with the firmness of that spring unit.
This guy has integrity written all over him, how refreshing.
Not so fast. Look up "complaints". BBB has some really horrible complaints against this guy. Beware. He is also really expensive too. You can "DIY latex mattress" for way less. It is the same latex he uses and the same process if you DIY your own latex mattress. The encasement on these other sites is much better with the zipper along the top and is super great quality. What he did do was alert us consumers that we can build our own mattress.
@@kellyname5733 oh wow I'm really leaning towards buying from him but now I'm not sure
@@wadedog4280 Be sure to look at his reviews and for sure to look at complaints at the BBB
@@wadedog4280 Buy from these guys sleeponlatex. Small company, great customer. Call them and ask any questions. They actually have real people at the facility to pick up the phone
@@kellyname5733 have you bought from them or do you work for them or affiliated with them in any way ?
Thank you for the truth
Been doing research for a week everywhere. All over the net,.every store that sells from eBay to Amazon or any store online that sells Dunlop or talalay product. This really helped me make a decision. Hate wasting money like everyone else.
And sadly, waisting people’s money, or stealing people’s money, seems to be the first motive of the mattress industry.
Excellent informative video thanks for sharing im about to pull the trigger on a 3-inch latex topper. This helped me to understand what crap amazon sells with a fancy certification that means nothing
Excellent! Let me know how I can help further.
We almost bought a bed in a box mattress. So thankful we saw your videos. Ordered one of yours!! We get it next week. We can't wait!! Thank you, thank you.
Finally someone who is honest. Thank you and God Bless you.
Thanks soooooo much!
How do you like your bed thus far?
Yeah, would be awesome if we have an opinion about How the mattress feels like...
I've spent 1/3rd of my life on a mattress and I'm just today learning what they are made of.
I'd LOVE to live in the States and therefore be able to buy your mattress, it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Unfortunately I don't and therefore I can't, but I still want to thank you loads for all this very useful information that will allow me to choose more wisely among the options I do have available. All the best to you and your caring business!
Thanks for your comments. Please be sure to like and subscribe to my channels because it helps others find this information too.
We have three mattresses that are over 11 years old, Dunlop latex is in the upper comfort layer, while the base is a quality foam. They have stood up incredibly well, and the mattresses never had any odour to them from the beginning. I believe that in the past 10 years or so, foam has become very toxic. Most new mattresses smell terribly and many simply do not off gas at all! My problem however is that I require a second mattress for another home, as I can't keep taking my mattress back and forth with me, which I have done. I am very sensitive to both chemicals and natural materials; wool for example is a product I simply can't sleep on. However, I have also struggled with latex. I have a Dunlop latex topper (2" soft) that is supposed to be GOLS certified, made by Earthfoam. I have tried to sleep on this repeatedly and always end up feeling just awful after I do; tired, achey and I can't seem to get out of bed.
I would desperately like to purchase another bed for my other home, and I am very interested in purchasing one of your beds, but I'm concerned that I will react the same way as I have to my topper. But since I am fine with the latex in my old mattress, I am willing to take a chance. Do you have any thoughts on why I have such an issue with my current latex topper? It looks exactly like the foam you have and it smells like rubber.
Glad I found your videos! Have had several surgeries over the last couple of years (lumbar spine, hip) and also have arthritic shoulders. Have heard nothing but good things about latex, so thanks for your detailed information. Will be calling!
Only 1,200 views. That says there are a lot of people getting taken. I thought tallalay latex was best until I have heard you. Thanks so much.
Thanks for your kind comments. Though this video only has gotten 1200 views, my complete mattress education as seen by many more: th-cam.com/video/d3KdIvKpSn0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your knowledge. My wife has allergies and knowing this will really help.
so much good information.... this guy is gold.... super like.
Yes ,I was doing my home work on latex and wanted to fine the best mattress with the best reliable company. Then i saw you here .This is so very important to know . Thankyou .
Wow! Thank you from Malaysia! Finally, managed to find important information!
Man he is very honest and tells everything I need to know, but how am I gonna know numerous brands out there using 100% natural no chemical latex? What mattress he is selling? Mind sharing?
Love your channel!!! Thank you for teaching us the truth. I have horrible back and neck pain after buying a $4000 block of garbage ☹️
That’s just what happened to me! I bought a Berkeley Ergonomics bed “Redondo” from Goodnight Beds in Rancho Palos Verdes and I now have low back pain every morning upon arising. My low back pain resolves within 30 minutes when I’m up, but, now I’m dreading going to bed when I used to love going to bed on my first Talalay Interactive Coil Hybrid Berkerley Ergonomics bed from the now defunct Ergo Customized Comfort in Irvine, CA. I am a petite side sleeper and I feel I have made a huge blunder spending over $4,000 and now I have back pain for the first time in my life. I know box mattresses have a generous 100-day sleep trial and return policy but I don’t know about this man’s return policy. I chose The Berkeley Ergonomics as it was natural and while the Goodnight Beds man said the technology hasn’t changed, I know this bed is causing my stiffness and pain. I prefer a bed that is soft but supportive and comforting, like a luxe hotel bed. But, what is that? Innersprings? Hybrids? I’ve got to figure this out ASAP as I’ve had painful sleep for the past six weeks. Help! What can J do, please?
Call the company and ask to return it!!
Thank you so much for this great info; I’ve been searching online for awhile and accidentally came across your video, I really felt as if I was in a training class, you have taught me so much. Best tlc
Watch all or many of my videos then go watch videos review videos by Sleepopolis or CNET Home or Mattress Clarity or Our Sleep Guide and you'll laugh at the useless information and then you will realize these reveiw video channels are nothing more than paid advertisements, not real information. Thanks for your comments.
Yes, that's right...I will do a review of the info you've provided. Thanks again.
U seem really authentic with ur knowledge. I’m sold.
This is great to see. I am looking into a latex mattress so glad that some are not what they say they are. It is a shame that this happens but I guess when they think they can make a buck they will do what ever they can to buy cheap and sell high.
I'm so glad yo have listened to your video i sent the video to my daughter so she can learn from it to. At least now i know the difference i bought a mattress which was the first time in foam it lasted 3 months now this one i also bought from same Sam's club im going to return because my back has gotten worse i bet its from mattress. I cant take soft cause that would make my back more have more pain. Im going to look at what you have but first i have to deal with Sam's to return and get my money back. This mattress is about 1 1/2 but ive switched it sidesbecause of the indentation i cant stand that i roll into it. So im glad i listened to your video and learn of all the stuff thats in mattress maybe thats why i get so sick. Thank you very informative.
Genevieve Valle
Thank you for showing us the difference between these mattresses. Im in the middle of buying a mattress . I know now that im going to buy a latex mattress. But it will be hard to find a double where i live. And im skeptical of ordering one online from a company.
I ordered the AR2 on Jan. 6, 2022 and can't wait to get it. I've been suffering for years and tried a few different mattresses and none of them helped with my back issues. I have 2 bulging disks in my lumbar area of my back. I very rarely get more than an hour of sleep a night and I'm exhausted all the time. The bed can't get here fast enough.
How did you order it?
Thank you this was so educational and stopped me from making a mistake!!! I wish you much success.
Just saving people from sleeping in chemicals makes me successful knowing I helped them. Thanks!
Any opinions on plushbed botanical bliss?
Lee thanks a million for educating me.
I see that use use 3 layers of 3” Dunlop latex (in personalized preference) for each bed. Does this height meet the needs of a heavier person (over 250) without “bottoming out” or would you recommend one more layer? TY
Over 250 is in no way too much for three layers. Not even on the softest mattress.
Thank you for educating us! This is extremely useful, I´m looking to purchase a Latex mattress in Mexico City, do you have any distributors?
We can ship to you. Give us a call at 888-502-8453
Dang, I'm not trying to let my house burn down, but I also don't want to wake up on fire. This guy has incredible integrity to tell us this information, but I just don't trust myself on that mattress after knowing that.
Then ask yourself this simple question, how did humans survive with non flame proof beds before 2007 when this new fire retardant regulation when into effect?
Unless your smoking in bed I wouldln't worry about it. From a Retired Firefighter
@@greggo502 I was thinking the same thing. And, does ndgo know what a "fire alarm" is and does?
Who the hell survives a big fire because their mattress is flame resistant?
I am thankful you can do that. I don't think that option is available in the UK. The only option is wool and I'm severely allergic to wool. It doesn't have to touch my skin; I can't inhale the off gas from wool (trust me, I've tested this out with soft wool that didn't make my skin itch). Good on you for selling dunlop without flame retardant covers.
I may end up removing the cover on my dunlop when I receive it and replace it with my well washed and used mattress cover.
I appreciated this entire video until you referred to ‘the little old lady’!! Please adjust that mentality for your sales approach!
I will take a look at your offerings after this. I’m waiting until CST to put in a call to another company after doing extensive research. I’m just about ready to hit the buy button.
I am originally from Petersburg, VA. Your accent is very familiar. 😊
Thanks for the great info. I’m inspired to continue studying. Made the mistake of buying memory foam 8 years ago and I’m now in a position to shift mattresses.
Question. If you put only Bamboo cover. You still need to zip the mattress correct? Also then you have to put thin sheet over that. Wont that make the mattress less effective to contour to your body just like the wool cover mattress?
That is exactly what I was wondering. Lee? Can you answer that one for us?
If you haven't gotten your question answered, it's no. Material naturally gives. Any material will give. Hope you bought one of his beds. I was a house manager,25 yrs so many people had terrible mattresses. I looked at latex 20 years ago. I recommended latex to any home owner and non other.
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 what do you think about all the bad bbb reports about him ?
Fantastic video, thank you for the lesson
Will a 4 inch Dunlop processed 100 % Natural latex mattress having Density 90kg/m3 , ILD 40 be ok in terms of comfort and long life?
Just started to work at a matress seling place with dunlop pure natural matresses good info righttt thereee🙏 especially the part where talalay is a better more modern method in the "manufacturer eyes " not for the consumer
Love ❤️ this channel. Will be back many times .
Thank you for educating me so much!!!!
Wow 1700 for full mattress is pricey ! No matter how good it is its still way too expensive for most forks
Great explanation, thanks!
I purchased a sleep number bed in 2016 an the egg style foam that it came with has failed and I'm wondering if purchasing a 100% all natural Dunlop latex topper would be a good idea to replace the foam that came with the bed, I really need help please
The old titanium spring Stearns and fosters were very good. The new method is pocket coils with single or dual layer foam on top each coil, I haven't tried those yet but saatva and Stearns and Foster for example are doing that. I have to agree that latex mattresses are the best possible mattresses. I've tried hundreds of beds over the years and been to different showrooms as I just taken interest in things like that. I do work a construction job and I do have arthritis. I bought an olive latex hybrid with the Euro Top and it's definitely the best bed I've ever tried. It has a lifetime warranty and I'm told the avocado latex hybrid is produced in the same factory so they're the same with different labels.
One thing you are missing because you haven't seen my complete mattress education video on my home page www.sleepessentials.com. That is, the toxic fire retardants in all mattresses today. Ours are free from all chemicals and glass fibers.
I'm reading captioning here...but did he say talalay is more DURABLE than dunlop? No no no. Opposite.
But creapy memory foam is horrible. Tried to sleep on it in someone's guest room. I weigh in the low. 120s, and felt like I was sinking down into a hot smothering sponge.
No, I said that Dunlop is more durable than Talalay IF it is all natural. The key is no synthetic and since most talalay is a synthetic blend, it is less durable.
Might want to edit and redo this video & snip out the errors. This was very informative though and I appreciate it.
I can’t wait to get one of these mattresses!
i would definitly buy from you
I, like many pple, thought talalay was a superior product. I'm glad to know it's not and that they are both the same, just made through a different process.
Well, actually they are most of the time, not the same because 95 percent of all Talalay latex is a synthetic blend and synthetic is not as durable as all natural. Ours in not only all natural, you will know it is all natural because it is all GOLS standard certified organic. This means there are no synthetic latex in our latex. Let me know if I can help you further.
What is the difference between GOLS certified latex mattresses vs Oeko-Tex certified?
Oeko-Tex is a certification of being free of VOCs and harmful substances. GOLS means more than that. That the latex is produced in a method that is certified organic. Meaning no pesticides on the trees nor chemical fertilizers used on the trees. And lastly all ingredients used in the production of the foam is also organic.
@@SleepEssentials I noticed on your buildamattress.com web page that you now have the GOLS certification but in the video Lee states that the latex he sells is natural but without certification from GOLS?
@@stephanieroberts1394 the video needs to be updated. Yes, indeed, we only offer GOLS certified organic now.
@@SleepEssentials So very happy about that. There a just a hand full of you offering the GOLS certified Dunlop latex. Thank you.
Sleep Essentials so if it is Oeko-Tex certified it is a 100% pure, is that correct??
Once again you have done a great video!
How long does your bamboo cover last, from our experience with bamboo sheets they wear out very fast
We don't use Bamboo anymore. We now cover the latex with Tencel. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks.
Yes pure u have impressed and educated me
When did they start adding chemicals to the latex mattresses?
The fire retardant most companies use is a chemical spray they use on the cover of the mattress so it doesn't burn fast. Natural and organic latex mattress companies use wool cover instead of chemicals because wool doesn't burn until the fire is 500 degrees.
I like the testimonial you read. Very telling!!
So how do they manufacture a specific firmness for a Dunlop latex mattress? I can't find anything about it which makes me wonder if they're BSing people by saying something is firm and charging more for it.
We don't charge more for the different firmnesses but to explain how the latex is more or less dense, a more dense foam has less air bubbles in it whereas a softer piece of foam has more air bubbles in it. More latex dense equals firmer. Less latex dense equals softer.
He sure does. Thank you!
So why aren't yours certified? Just to save money or?
That video is a little old. I now use only certified organic latex...GOLS.
Do u do pillows?
These comments sound so fake. All these people gushing about how honest and authentic this guy is. He may be, but how on earth would you know?? Because he is upfront about his non-certified mattresses and the non-fire-retardant covers he sells? He sure better be upfront about them or he could be in legal trouble. Doesn't mean his products are any good. And the Hillary comment was a classy touch.
How do you choose one without trying it out first?
call us at 855-502-8453
How is cotton instead of bamboo in adjusting to the contours of the body?
They are the same in stretch ability but we now use Tencel which is more like bamboo in breathability.
I bought this, last November and within 3 months I starting to wake up with lower back pain, neck issues, and hip issues, bought the kind the store owner uses. One of the big reasons I bought it, does not break down. however does not do me good if one keeps waking up with back issues, Hip, and neck. Note it is not just me my wife also is waking up with back issues. So today I bought a MyPillow Pillow topper that will go over this bed. 3" with a 60-day trial. Looking forward, or should I say hoping to wake up with no back issues or hip or neck. Let me know if anyone has found a bed that when you wake up one has no pain! Thanks if you have any questions let me know. 'I am 64 years old and my wife is younger.
How's it going ?
Did this guy fix the problem for you?? More than likely that is a big fat NO. That is why you bought a topper from MyPillow. He has some really bad complaints all over the internet and the BBB.
Hi, can you tell us you and your wife's height and weight, sleeping positions, and what type and firmness of mattress you slept on before moving to a latex mattress? Did you contact him and ask what your options were to make it better for you?
What I find a lot is the subjectivity of the issue people have without any indication of the objectivity of the situation. You did not mention anything about what you used to sleep on on, or how much your weigh, etc.
For example, if your old mattress was medium to very firm, and you move to a much softer mattress, well of course you are going to notice some issues. Same if you go from medium to soft and move to a firm mattress.
Also, even though you are over the 60 day trial this guy offers, did you contact him and tell him of your issues? If not, why not? Maybe he is willing to try to make it right? How would you know if you did not try?
Objectively, for it to take 3 months for your aches and pains to show up seems a little odd to me. I'm not denying what you are experiencing, I'm just pointing out that most people will have issues much more quickly.
I sleep on a medium mattress now. If I go to my in-laws and sleep on the concrete block mattress in the guest room, well guess what? In a night or two, I'm stiff and sore and uncomfortable. The aches and pains are usually the result of the different joint and spine alignments. Ask any chiropractor.
If your back or neck were used to being "bent" every night, and then you alight them properly, you may notice some aches as your body adjust to being straight. But that should go be noticed and then go away rather quickly.
If you lay on this bed and immediately noticed "wow, way softer than what we are used to" well than I would say that it is going to be TOO soft for your liking.
Also, if you are BACK SLEEPERS, then moving to a softer mattress almost ALWAYS result in back issues from what I have seen. Side sleeper prefer softer as your shoulder need to sink deeper as it protrudes more.
I would like to know what adding another topper did if anything, what FIRMNESS the topper was, and if you have seen any improvements? And also what your came FROM and your physical attributes would be helpful to get an idea of what to look for.
Thanks!
I would like to buy one of your beds who do i call. should I get all latex or springs with latex.

Will Sleep Essentials make a split Queen mattress zip case for adjustable split queen beds please ?
We already do.
Awesome, thanks !!!
What are your thoughts on the Brand SavyRest?? They are only Gols certified for Dunlop. Have you heard of them people swear by them. Can you please let me know. Thank you
Ours is better because ours has no flame retardant chemicals and don't pay any attention to any company's claims they don't use chemicals because they either use chemicals or silica. THEY LIE.
@@SleepEssentials The wool Covering mattress that you Offer is it Purely Wool nothing else blended in it or is it like every other companies and Only the Bamboo cover is Chemical free? Also from my understading it take a great amount of Chemicals in the prosses of making Bamboo? I ask because i'd rather buy something that is 100% as natural as possible also are your mattress rearrangeable? Do they come with a Zipper? Apparantly SavyRest does have a GOLS certification however i can understand that at the end of the day it is business and need to pass laws or ragulations
@@alfonsoramirez6415 We don't offer a wool covering and never have. Wool is a "cover" for the chemicals companies are using. In other words, they all use chemicals but they use wool to claim they meet the strict regulations with wool. This is a lie. Wool burns easily unless it is treated or there is another fire barrier in or under the wool. Our covers are now Tencel, which is only about 30 percent and the rest is polyester to make it a stretch knit. BUT, nothing is treated with any fire retardant chemicals. That is where we differ from all other companies. So what if some company has GOLS latex or GOTS fabric if they still have a toxic fire barrier sock or some other barrier? And every company lies about this because they are forced to by our sick paid-for, paid-off government. Yes, our covers are zippered so you can arrange the layers but I don't advise that because putting soft under firm will cause a hammock effect which will curve your spine. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
@@SleepEssentials Well i guess you can't have it all in this world! The first thing that shows up when i Googled (Is Polyester toxic) is an article "Polyester Shouldn't Be In Your Bed: 9 reasons why" hahaha. As a potentiol customer i have questions of course. Have you ever thought of just an Organic Cotton Cover instead of the one you offer? When we look for "Organic" or natural i belive many of us or me in this case don't care too much about aesthetics as long as the product is a good one. I am very sentative to Synthetic smells etc. I am in the process of changing my mattress because i don't want to end up with permanent neurological damage lately i have been having hart palpitations when i wake up and DRs say every is fine with me like they always do when they don't have asnwers I've had work done and nothing i'm thinking it's the mattress.
@@alfonsoramirez6415 We used to offer the "organic cotton" story but that was all it was, was a story. Organic is the most used word for marketing when it isn't even remotely true. Virtually no one has 100 percent organic cotton because it discolors from a person's body oils and moisture and thus looks dirty and washing it doesn't fix it. So almost all "organic cotton" is really only 20-25 percent organic, the rest is bleached cotton, thus not organic. Learning this, I switched to Tencel because it is supposed to be (notice I said is supposed to be as I have no proof) cooler to sleep on than cotton. And in saying this, my Tencel covers are only 30 percent Tencel, the rest is polyester. I have on occasion told people for illustrative purposes that if they really want and need organic, they had better grow it themselves, harvest it themselves, weave it themselves, and sew it themselves. Otherwise the likelihood of a purely organic fabric is zero. Just being honest. Is your mattress making you sick? I'd be willing to bet on it. My neighbor has been fighting throat cancer in her late 40s. Yes, she drinks diet sodas but she also sleeps in a Tempur Pedic which has been proven to have formaldehyde in them which is a carcinogen. So not only is a Tempur Pedic polyurethane foam waste dump, but it is also treated with formaldehyde. Or, I should say, used to be treated with formaldehyde. Since the class action lawsuit in Texas for the VOCs and formaldehyde in TP, they've probably switched to something else. This is not an indictment of TP, it is an indictment that the US government is a fake bought and paid for government. Let me know if you have further questions.

Not form us. We don't use Talalay because no Talalay can be organic and most Talalay is a blend of mostly synthetic latex which doesn't last.
the one thing that keeps me from ordering is knowing what firmness/softness to go with? I have a synthetic foam mattress right now and its 20 yrs old but its like sleeping own a hammock.
This is why we have a Comfort Assurance policy wherein we will modify the firmness you chose at no cost to you except shipping. Go to sleepessentials.com/comfort-assurance-policy/

I’m hoping you can help me, please. I bought a Berkeley Ergonomics bed “Redondo” from Goodnight Beds in Rancho Palos Verdes and I now have low back pain every morning upon arising. My low back pain resolves within 30 minutes when I’m up, but, now I’m dreading going to bed when I used to love going to bed on my first Talalay Interactive Coil Hybrid Berkerley Ergonomics bed from the now defunct Ergo Customized Comfort in Irvine, CA. I am a petite side sleeper and I feel I have made a huge blunder spending over $4,000 and now I have back pain for the first time in my life. I know box mattresses have a generous 100-day sleep trial and return policy but I don’t know about this man’s return policy. I chose The Berkeley Ergonomics as it was natural and while the Goodnight Beds man said the technology hasn’t changed, I know this bed is causing my stiffness and pain. I prefer a bed that is soft but supportive and comforting, like a luxe hotel bed. But, what is that? Innersprings? Hybrids? I’ve got to figure this out ASAP as I’ve had painful sleep for the past six weeks. Help! What can I do, please? Thank you.
Call me again and I can help you.
I'm somewhat confused. Wool is a naturally stretchy material--more so than most other fibers natural and synthetic. It's like a natural version of spandex/lycra. Wool in knit form is super stretchy.
I suppose a super tight, woven wool fabric could be somewhat less stretchy, but it will still have some stretch.
Yes just enough to not support you as well. Tightly woven wool is less conforming to the give and dip and support of a latex mattress but better protection from fire. Less tightly woven wool is more stretchy.
@@stephanieroberts1394 What?? "Just enough to not support you"? The wool layer isn't supposed to be for support. It's a fire retardant and it's supposed to stretch and move with the latex.
I like sleep on my side I looking for mattress that does not cause hip pain back pain shoulder I do not toss and turn at night I heard few things about Dunlap mattress just wondering I like mattress be not wicked soft but not to hard either something in middle of both .I heard soft mattress are easily to carry into bedroom
I have the perfect mattress for you. Probably our AR2 or AR3 but give us a call to discuss your needs in greater detail at 540-397-2337. Thanks.
will the synthetic latex still be more durable than high density PU foam or Lux foam ?
Yes, by 10 times.
@@melaniecarter1187 many thanks for the reply, so even synthetic latex can last 10x as long as Lux foam ?.......so natural latex would last forever then ?..........how durable is High Resilience foam then ?
@@worstalentscout Dunlop Latex is VERY durable and long lasting. Natural Talalay Latex will need to be replaced in about 3-4 years. Synthetic latex does fare well for longevity, but the chemicals?? Unless they are completely aired out then it is not a natural product anymore. Most Synthetic latex products are cheaper to make and the ratio is around 15-30% latex and the rest are Synthetic components.
DO YOU SELL ONE OF THESE MATTRESS'S FOR REGULAR KING SIZE BEDS THAT SPLIT WE ALSO WANT TO BUY THE THINGY THAT THE MATTRESS SITS ON WITH LIGHTS AND VIBRATOR TOP OF THE LINE ONE I THINK.. WE DO NOT WANT FIRM OR EXTRA FIRM AS WE HAD EXTRA FIRM AND IT WAS WAY OVER FIRM FOR US.. WE ALSO DON'T WANT THE COOLING MATTRESS'S WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD ORDER FROM YOU AND DO YOU HAVE A LINK WE COULD CLICK ON TO BUY FROM YOU.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ALSO...
Yes, and we sell the very best adjustable beds. Go to our website www.sleepessentials.com and watch some of my videos demonstrating the adjustable beds.
I went to your site, 500$ for a latex topper is insane , I know latex it high , but 500 for just a topper is ripping people off, I've done all kinds of research on latex I've never seen latex 500$ for a queen size topper, that's crazy!! I paid 380 off a actual shop , all natural topper , talalay topper 3in thick, it's 1500 for 3 of yours and it doesn't say how thick your topper is,
Certified organic, the real deal. Talalay is blended, mostly synthetic thus cheaper. Compare apples to apples not apples to bananas.
@@leecarter3336 it wasn't just talalay. It was 100% dunlop for 300 queen . Certified
@@scottg1767 you are sadly mistaken about what I can afford but I'm not ignorant either. You can go to Arizona mattress, or sleep on latex which are certified latex toppers. And why don't you buy a couple of them if you are so gain on it. No ones stopping you !
There are many gols certified latex mattress topper out there for less than $150-300 depending on size and inches deep. Just google.
Can latex/talalay be cut if I should decide to put it on
a twin size instead of my full/queen size later on??
yes
Yes. Use one of those electric knife cutters, ya' know the ones that people used at Thanksgiving in the 60's thru the 80's.
I like this guy
I like me too but I love you for posting kind comments!
Do you sell toppers?
yes. Go to sleepessentials.com
Lots of good info, thanks. Can one mitigate the loss of "feel/function" associated with the wool cover by buying a thinner latex bed and adding a 3" talalay topper with a simple cotton cover? Thank you!
@T R Good luck on your search! I ended up buying a mattress from Lee at Sleep Essentials in late December. We happened to be driving through Roanoke and my wife wouldn't buy a mattress without trying it. Lee was very helpful with no pressure. We bought the AR-2 and he shipped it out immediately per our need. We like the feel of latex and it does not sleep warm in our experience of far. My wife is very picky and she loves it!
Fantastic! Thanks for posting how you like it and your experience. Thanks!
Appreciate the sharing of this information, it made the choice simple. However, I hope for his sake Hillary doesn't have financial interests in the other mattress products or we might hear of his untimely death lol. Keep up the hard work young man, you are likely to spike a a quality upgrade industry wide and that's a good thing. In the mean time I can't help but feel like I have been lied to by other companies. How could I give my business to someone who sees me as a dollar amount and not as a satisfied customer?
Thank you my friend for your kind comments. Indeed, shamefully, most mattress companies are liars, especially the big brand name companies - habitual liars so they should be referred to as Hillary mattress companies. Give me a call at 540-397-2337.
@@SleepEssentials Well you just lost me as a potential customer with this childish inability to keep your personal politics out of it!

What do you think of Molded VS Continuous Pour Dunlop? They say Continuous Pour Dunlop is better but I need more information on it so could you possibly do a video on it?
Continuous pour is always synthetic blended latex. If you want all natural, and especially certified organic, you want what we have.
What is the website to order?
Our order website is under construction and probably won't be finished until late December. Call us to order at 540-397-2337.

Please call for pricing. 540-397-2337. Thanks.
We had an all latex mattress and it was a HUGE mistake! It is extreeeeemely heavy and veeeery difficult to move from room to room and house to house! If there were some way to enclose it in a frame with handles, then we might consider getting one in the future.
Indeed, any latex mattress of any significant thickness is really heavy and because they are foam, hard to handle because they are not rigid in any way but flop around like, well, rubber. This is another reason why our mattresses are better. They are made of three layers and a zip on cover. You can remove the cover and roll up each layer for easy moving.
I've had a latex mattress for the last 16 years and I love it. I ended on this page because I'm researching to replacing it with another latex. My only beef was the price and the weight. If you sleep on your side or have pain in the hips and shoulders latex mattress might suit you best. If you move a lot, pay someone to move it for you or get help.
I don't know why but I'd trust this guy with my life.
Very nice. Although, I have a latex mattress from a manufacturer in the midwest who has been in biz for 30+ years and does direct to consumer. He also has separate layers and will allow customization of each side if there are partners. This is something you aren't able to do because, I suspect, you aren't manufacturing but having someone manufacture to your specifications. Anyway, great video.
Hello Mark. Would you please share who the manufacturer is? I have found one company in CA, Flobeds, that does something like you're describing. They are talalay only, and am not sure if they truly use all natural talalay. Also, how is the bed holding up? Thanks
Is the wool cover removable, and can you sell a bamboo cover separately? I don't have a doctor to get an Rx from.
Arizona Premium Mattress sells a bamboo, rayon or organic cotton, wool/cotton encasement. You dont need a dr. form. You can search "DIY latex mattress". Many companies selling latex slabs for you to build your own mattress

Share with me about the new Tempur-Pedic ProAdapt Soft bed? What have u heard on it, i have it ordered from Ashly's for next week, so please let me know ASAP!
I'm not familiar with each and every model by TP. If the law label says 100 percent polyurethane foam, it is plastic. It will soften with use if it is plastic foam. But the most important thing to concern yourself with is the fire retardant chemicals. I've had a TP mattress tested for antimony and it was positive. There is a class action lawsuit in Texas against TP for the VOCs in the mattresses. Learn more here: www.allenstewart.com/practice-areas/tempur-pedic-product-warning/
i like your style !
Hello I’m interested on latex mattres What is a good phone number to call you
Clair Byers Me,too,Clair!
Do you offer a hybrid mattress? Thanks.
I would love to purchase a latex mattress but with my income I suppose I'll have to sleep on a bed of hay.
Just buy a 3" latex topper from Amazon . The most popular one has the gold standard and is Dunlop
Look up "DIY latex mattress". There are many companies that will sell you pieces of latex to build your "own mattress" or a topper for about 50% less than what this guy charges. Same latex, same process and the encasement for the latex slabs much, much better. Sleep EZ, DIY mattress, Arizona Premium Mattress & Latex Mattress Factory. You build with the topper slabs. Arizona Premium Mattress has a 6" base slab of Dunlop or 2-3" slabs and my favorite encasement made of organic cotton, but the others have 2-3" slabs for you to build. Sleep EZ has a sale that ends tonight Aug 30,2021, but if you call them within the next 2 weeks they will honor the sales price.
Door Dash
Latex for Less, 100% natural latex 2" Talalay and 6" Dunlop layers - $950 for Queen - no one can beat it
Are you 100% sure it is "pure latex" and not a mix? I am suspect of Latex for Less. Why would this guy go to ALL THE TROUBLE to educate us to the truth and then rip us off. He has educated us, so now we know the truth.
As far as I know their latex is certified. I built another latex mattress from Latex Mattress Factory that was even cheaper
@@fzr1000981 I posted a reply, dont know what happened to it. Yes "building your own latex mattress" is much cheaper". Look up DIY latex mattress. Here are a few companies that sell you pieces to make a mattress. Sleep EZ, DIY mattress, Arizona Premium Mattress and the one you posted Latex Mattress Factory. You can customize to suite your mattress preference. Dont forget the encasement for the latex pieces. Arizona Premium Mattress has the least expensive encasement, made of organic cotton which will let you feel your latex (my favorite). The others are more expensive and are much more firm. Sleep EZ has the same one as on many sites, on sale. They will honor the sales price after the sale ends (today Aug 30, 2021) for 2 weeks if you call them.
Thanks, I will try the Arizona mattress cover. I already purchased three, 3" Dunlop layers from Latex Mattress Company for $220/each (looks like they recently raised their prices). The layers are heavy, a six inch layer is almost too much to handle by yourself
@@fzr1000981 My post was mostly for other readers as you already know how to build a latex mattress for way, way less. That is a great point that the 6" Dunlop slab would be really heavy. You must have a double or a queen bed. I have a Cal King so much more $$ for me. Still much, much cheaper than this guy in the video and way less than most of the mattress makers. Plus, for us who build our own..we know exactly what is in it. I cant thank you enough for steering me to search DIY latex mattress building. Also this guy in the video has some really bad complaints on the internet and the BBB. I would not do business with this guy ever.
