Select Sleep Mattress Kicks Ass
I got the Medium/Firm/X-firm combo stacked in that order (Medium on top). I am a bigger guy and the coil mattress I had for the previous 10 years was ultra firm, so I figured the more firm ILDs were the way to go. I am very happy with the firmness.
The foam was really nice. Clearly labeled, clean, well seamed, well cut, and well packaged.
It came in two boxes about 50 pounds each, tightly rolled up and double wrapped. The boxes are strong and held up very well in shipping. With all the protection, the shipper would have to push the boxes off a cliff to damage the foam in transit.
The cover itself is single sided, which is fine since there is no reason to flip the mattress. I like that it is just lightly quilted like a regular mattress cover. It’s only about 1/4″ thick on top so it doesn’t interfere with the feel of the latex. The cover seems to be pretty well made overall. I think it will stand up over time. Of course it is replaceable anyway if something happened to it.
The hardest part was putting it together… getting all the foam positioned on the cover in the right place. That would be a lot easier with two people (which I didn’t have) or if I had better access to the other side of the bed. With the cover zipped up (zipping it up was much easier than I expected it to be), it looks just like any standard non-pillow top mattress. Actually, very similar to Englander mattress my sister bought.
Overall I am very pleased with the purchase, especially considering it was only $1025 shipped. It should really last forever too, so it is a great value compared to the junk I could buy locally in the same price range.
