Comfort is excellent. Some give, not too warm (latex tends to be cooler than memory foam), great comfort for my personal jigsaw spine. Fits well and moves fine with an adjustable base in the twin xl size.
HEAVY so have a few folks available to assist in moving, setup and placement once received at your domicile.
Helpful hint; DO NOT open until you get the mattress to the room where you will be placing it. It EXPANDS! Also be prepared for the “crescent roll can” style of the mattress popping open when you unwind the kraft paper that compresses it for shipping. Can be startling to some folks…Not dangerous by any means, just startling…
As always, I’ll be back with further feedback, should it be warranted. Hopefully I have helped in your selection of mattresses; so much “marketing” out there…
07052023 In use for over four months. Still very comfortable. One suggestion as latex mattresses can run warm compared to traditional mattresses; Get a Cool Buddy, Bed Jet or other type of bed cooling unit of your choice to make this mattress (and your sleep) even better. Maintaining the optimum temperature during sleep is a great way to increase the depth and effectiveness of the sleep that your body needs to function at its peak at all times. Proper sleep is key, even with the various “bodily defects” that we acquire as we age. Hope this helps YOU!
10252023 This mattress is still great. Sleeping well. I cannot emphasize enough how a GREAT mattress, like this one, coupled with any reliable hydronic bed cooling device effects deep/REM sleep. We sleep for so much of our life, maximizing the effectiveness of sleep is priceless IMO.
07122024 Still excellent support and comfort for an arthritic spine. Virtually no wear, divots or sagging. Quality mattress, natural composition cannot be beat. A hydronic bed cooler with refrigerant/compressor type cooling is suggested as it will give you the best sleep IMHO. Satisfied Customer!

I purchased a Firm 9″ King on Amazon and ended up exchanging it for a Medium 9″ King. This was an upgrade for an 8 year old beautyrest pillowtop.
PROs:
1. If you buy directly from the Sleep On Latex website, shipping is RIDICULOUSLY fast. I placed my order around 10am and had it in my home around lunch the next day. (I live two states away from their HQs).
2. If isolation, heat dissipation, or uniformity throughout the mattress are anywhere near the top of your priority list, you won’t find a better mattress type than natural latex.
CON:
1. Natural latex makes for impressively heavy mattresses. Handles would help a lot but they aren’t possible if you think about it. If you attach handles using a strap that passes through the mattress then you negatively impact comfort. If you just glue or sew handles to the outside wool/cotton cover then you risk ripping the cover due to the weight. Because this is kind of a no win situation, I won’t deduct any stars because I agree with the decision to let moving the mattress be a pain in order to avoid non-latex internal components.
SUBJECTIVE:
1. The firm mattress we got through amazon was truly very firm. I would liken the firmness to being slightly firmer than a good air mattress that is inflated to the point of nearly popping.
2. The 2nd mattress we got directly through Sleep On Latex is great for my family who are predominantly back sleepers but spend a lot of time on our sides as we’re falling asleep.
3. As mentioned in the product description, the latex is covered by a New Zealand wool and cotton cover. The 2nd mattress we got did have a veeeeery slight ‘barn’ smell from the wool when you put your nose close to it. It was mostly gone after a week. My wife and I actually found it to be a pleasant smell.
THE PURCHASE AND RETURN/EXCHANGE PROCESS:
So I would recommend buying directly from Sleep on Latex. I’m generally a hardcore prime user but in this case, using Amazon is actually more inconvenient. If you buy through Amazon and decide to use their 100-day guarantee, you’ll be asked to start a standard return request through amazon. Then Sleep On Latex gives you the option to donate the mattress to a charity and send them proof you did so or they can arrange for a charity to come pick it up. They don’t actually accept the mattress back. Then, if you want to ‘exchange’ for a different size or firmness, you’ll have to start a brand new order. If you use their website instead of Amazon, then this 2-step refund then re-purchase process is streamlined to just asking for an exchange. I will also add that sleep on Latex was very prompt with having the charity come the next day to pickup the mattress and issuing a refund that evening.

I hope this helps others like me, who are researching which mattress to buy. I didn’t want to try out 2-3 mattress and deal with the return process, that takes time, money, and energy.
Straight to the point, this is a wonderful bed. I cannot recommend it enough. For Context, we were leaning towards purchasing hybrid beds in the $2-3k range from various brands. I’m 165lbs and the wife weighs less. We both sleep on our back/side/stomach. We have a platform bed frame, no box spring.
In my opinion this mattress needs to be paired with a topper. otherwise, I liken it to laying on a yoga mat on a hard floor. However, once paired with their soft 2-inch topper, and I think this is a 9/10 combination. We don’t sink in, still get the support from the mattress underneath, but with just enough give/comfort/plushness. I think the 1-inch topper would be too little, and the 3-inch would change the characteristics of the mattress too much.
I know they sell a med-firm mattress, but I read recent discussions that it maybe a toss up on which revision/material combination you’ll get. I didn’t want to take that chance, and I figured, you can always make a bed softer, it’s a lot harder to make a bed firmer.
This bed it great for Sex. We do not sink into this bed, regardless of position. We now have the support we need without having to use/adjust a bunch of pillows.
We don’t feel or notice when the other gets in/out of the bed and we don’t get hot on this mattress/topper compared to our old memory foam mattress. We both snore less and are no longer sore when we wake up. Lastly, we got their pillows, and they are very comfortable. The mattress/topper alone made our crappy pillows better, but we prefer them over our older Tempur-Pedic symphony pillows.
This mattress is almost 150 pounds, I recommend you have someone help you set it up, if possible.
All in all, we love it.
