  I searched long and hard for the perfect mattress and took the chance with sleep essentials. I LOVE it. My husband and I say how comfy it is all the time. My back used to hurt getting out of bed in my old mattress because of the dips that it had in it over the years. I switched to this one and my back hasn’t hurt. I temporarily slept on my old mattress for a few days and my back hurt again so I know it wasn’t just in my mind.What I like about it is that I feel confident it will last me because of the material it is made of. So far it looks just like the day I got it which was a year ago. Having a bed that would last was a big deal to me. I didn’t want something made out of plastic foam that would break down over the years with dips and then have a hurt back and wonder when I had suffered enough to justify buying a new one. I want one that is made of quality material that I can trust. And latex is durable and natural. It has been around a long time.I love that it is squishy and bouncy. I worried about having a bed without springs because it didn’t want it to feel like I was sinking in a hole and couldn’t move around well like a memory foam. The latex is bouncy and squishy. It is the perfect consistency.I also love that it doesn’t have unnecessary chemicals sprayed on it like every other bed out there. Why on earth do we have flame retardants on mattresses when it is covered with sheets and a comforter that would burn first before it could even get to the mattress? I don’t want to sleep on those chemicals and this mattress doesn’t have them. Because you build your own mattress, it is not required to have it sprayed. Putting it together was no big deal and worth not having the flame retardants on it. All you do is lay down the outside material, roll on the layers of latex and zip it up. It’s easier to manage when it is in pieces anyway.And for extra awesomeness, I have an adjustable base! Love that this mattress can handle bending.Do all in all, I am a huge fan of this mattress and will eventually have one in every bedroom of my house. Now no other mattress makes sense for me to buy. This is the one.They also sell great mattress protectors and sheets which I am happy with. Just as a side note.Thank you thank you sleep essentials for creating this mattress!!!

  Shipping/delivery was quick. Instruction video was good but written/paper inclusion would be beneficial. Questions answered quickly. The mattress is firm however edges seem softer. If you lay close to edge it feels like you might roll out. Time will tell on wear but we are hopeful that it will live up to expectations and company claims.

  Let me preface this review with some facts for contexts. My wife and I are in our mid-fifties and I am a very analytical person. A couple of months back we started suffering aches and pains along with back pains when getting out of the bed in the morning. We knew it was time for a new mattress. It was like climbing out of a hole to get out of bed. Not to mention how hard it was to move around the bed during our intimate moments. What made us upset was the fact that we had purchase the mattress we were sleeping on only 3 years ago for $1,500.With that in mind I started to research the best mattresses in the market. I found this almost impossible, because there is no consistency in the mattress industry other than great marketing. We visited several mattress store locations in our area. Pricing for a king size mattress with an adjustable foundation are very pricey. One was as high as $15K.Please understand that price was not the main concern, we were willing to pay a high ticket price for a good night’s sleep. Comfort was our focus. Everywhere we went in search of a good mattress it just felt like everything was a sales pitch and the people we spoke with either were great sales people with great sales pitches or they were completely incompetent about their product.It wasn’t until I discovered Sleep Essentials, that I felt that Mr Lee was genuinely honest and knowledgeable about mattresses and his products. For example, he educated me on the need to have a wall hugging adjustable foundation, so that I can reach my nightstand when the foundation is in an upright position. NO ONE had even mentioned that option to us. I listened to several of Mr Lee’s videos and I was thoroughly impressed with his honesty and the information he shared about the mattress industry. I verified his information through other sources to make sure he was not just another sales person blowing smoke, and he was not.This sold me on him. He explained that he used to be one of those other sales people we had been running into and that as he learned the mattress industry, he changed and wanted to get to the truth about mattresses. He shared the testimonials he obtained from customers that were getting rid of their old mattress after having them for 20, 30 and 50 years. This got me to thinking that he was absolutely correct about natural latex and how it was used in the mattress industry for decades. I cannot recall as a kid my parents having to change mattresses every 5 to 10 years. The mattresses seemed to last forever and did not have the sinking issues.There is a plethora of information on the Sleep Essentials website to educate yourself on the mattress industry. I truly appreciate Mr Lee and the efforts he has made to educate the public about the mattress industry. We spoke with Mr Lee several times before making our purchase. He mailed us some samples of the different types of latex densities he offers. I cannot express how impressed I have been with Mr Lee and his company Sleep Essentials.All that to say that we ordered a King size split mattress with two independent adjustable foundations after our one on one consultation with Mr Lee. Words cannot explain properly how EXTREMELY happy we are with the adjustable foundations. We have only had the mattresses for about two weeks and it is a lot firmer than I had expected. We have spoken with Mr Lee and at the 21 day mark he will be shipping out softer tops for us to change out at no additional charge. I am quite sure; once that is done we will be completely satisfied with our purchase. The mattresses are GREAT, just a bit too firm for our liking, but that was because we wanted a firmer mattress. We definitely underestimated the firmness of true latex. By the way our cost was less than $6K.I will update this review once we have received the new softer layer tops from Mr Lee as to the comfort of the mattresses themselves.

  I am very happy Sleep Essentials customer! My first purchase was an AR3 about five years ago and it still sleeps amazingly. Since then that mattress has been moved to our guest bedroom. Everyone who has had the opportunity to use it so far, always asks where we got it from. My most recent purchase was a split queen AR2 on an adjustable frame. I strongly recommend the sleep essentials, latex mattress to family, friends and anyone looking for the best sleep possible! And let me just mention that it was at a fraction of a cost of memory foam.

  If you are looking for the truth of mattresses, if you are NOT WANTING to waste your hard earned money, buy the latex from Sleep Essentials! The time we spend in our beds is crucial to our well-being. Latex is what we should ALL be sleeping on for a good night's sleep. Invest in Sleep Essentials, you can't go wrong. And you will not be replacing your mattress every 3 to 5 years or sooner!

  It’s been several months since we started sleeping on our Sleep Essentials bed. It has been so therapeutic for our backs! We loved the bed so much we decided to buy a Perfect Chair recliner as well. Sleep Essentials has wonderful products that will abundantly improve your quality of life!

  We purchased the medium split-king latex and adjustable bed, and couldn't be happier. It performs exactly like the owner said. The motors are silent, and the upper and lower vibration patterns are just right for us. Hardest thing is rolling out of bed in the morning. If you treasure a great sleep experience you won't go wrong with Sleep Essentials bed systems. The Smith's of Colorado.

  My experience with sleep essentials was just the best.The two young gentleman was excellent in setting up the mattress..I do not have help so it's worth the extra funds to have them set up the bed.The mattress is everything as advertised by the company. Their honesty is beyond reproach.

  I am so grateful to the people of Sleep Essentials. The gentleman I worked with there went above and beyond to help me get the right product for me. I have Muscular Dystrophy and have been having so many problems with skin breakdowns and other medical issues. I always used a regular mattress but I started having a lot of pain and other problems. I did quite a bit of research and spoke to different medical practitioners. I was just going around in circles not knowing what to do and not really being able to afford the recommendations they were giving me. The gentleman from Sleep Essentials quickly and patiently answered all my questions over the course of 2 days. I had called other bedding vendors and they really didn’t care about my needs. I just want to say I am so grateful and for the care that Sleep Essentials demonstrated to me. I ordered a new mattress from them and it is perfect! Thank you again!

  After getting so annoyed with costly mattresses that fail in so many ways and in a short time I decided I am going to do some research, go outside of the box of mainstream brand mattresses and see what I can find. This led me to Sleep Essentials where they offer educational videos on how mattresses are made, the toxic ingredients most of them contain and why their company became enlightened themselves enough to make a huge change and shift to selling latex mattresses that you build yourself. By going this route , consumers aren’t forced to buy fire retardant toxic chemical filled lousy mattresses. I have bought my own custom built king size mattress and have also bought the wood frame to set it in. It is easier than it sounds but it is best to have two people to bring it all together. I love our mattress . I have been sleeping on it almost 3 years and still love it. .. and guess what?..no body impressions that I hated., no squeaky box springs when I move around and I’m an active sleeper, never staying in one position all night. I do not get hot and have to move to cool off. The company is trustworthy and if you have any problems at all they will work with you to make you satisfied. I’m so thankful I found a solution, one better than I expected. I would say a good mattress is important seeing how many hours you spend there. A good nights sleep is so beneficial to ones health.

  While searching mattress reviews on YouTube I came across a Sleep Essentials ad warning me about buying a memory foam mattress, so I decided to watch it. I was blown away! I didn't know about the toxic chemicals put into mattresses today, and also what a scam memory foam mattresses are. I was about to buy another one despite my last one having developed some deep divots after just 5 years, and my wife and I are not big people.I appreciated the salesman's honesty and was sold on a latex mattress almost instantly. After a few more days of research I began asking Sleep Essentials a few questions on the chat feature on their website. I was asking these questions after business hours, and they responded the next morning each time. My wife and I were somewhat nervous about buying the most expensive bed we had ever bought sight unseen, but we decided to go for it.I ordered the bed on a Friday and received it the next Friday, except for the foundation which arrived a day earlier. The boxes were clearly marked so I knew I had everything. My only suggestion is to let their customers know how many packages in total their are so they know when they have received everything, so they don't tear their old bed apart only to find out there is a piece still undelivered. I did receive a separate tracking number for each piece.Now it's time to assemble the mattress. I'm a pretty handy guy, but this is something I've never done before. My wife and I watched the assembly videos on YouTube as we put it together. It really wasn't that difficult. We had the entire bed assembled in about an hour.Last night was the first night on the new bed. Both my wife and I think we like the support it gives. I didn't sleep that well though, and I wonder if it will just take some getting used to as it feels quite different than our old bed.Overall, my experience with Sleep Essentials was a very good experience. I feel good about the bed so far and we are looking forward to what is hopefully several years of good restful sleep.

  My husband and I love our new mattress from Sleep Essentials. We especially like knowing that we are going to sleep without breathing in all of the chemicals, or even potential glass fibers, that come with so many other mattresses. The flexibility in choosing the combination of layers to provide the best support for us is a definite plus!

  After sleeping on a Dormia mattress for over 15 years, my wife and I decided it was time for a new one. We liked the latex aspect of the Dormia, but over time, the memory foam and other cheaper foams incorporated in the mattress broke down and the mattress began to sag. After shopping locally for a new latex mattress we found the choices limited and expensive. So we looked online and found Sleep Essentials. We watched Lee's videos and found them very informative. We liked the idea of building our own latex mattress and at an affordable price and you avoid all the harmful chemicals at the same time.When we called to discuss ordering our new mattress, Lee was very helpful and the process was painless. I was undecided between the AR2 and the AR3 models. Lee said that if the mattress was not comfortable he could send us a new layer for free (just pay the shipping). He suggested that it would be easier to go from a firmer mattress to a softer one so we ordered the AR3 in a Split King with plans to add an adjustable bed later. Shipping was quick and assembly was a breeze after watching the video he sent us. But after sleeping on it a few nights we found that the AR3 mattress was a bit too firm for our taste so Lee said he could send us a softer layer for just the cost of shipping (an option he told me about when we ordered). We received the soft layer of latex just as quickly and swapped it out. It was just what we needed to have a comfortable night sleep. We love our new mattress and we highly recommend ordering your new bed from Lee at Sleep Essentials!

  I have been following Sleep Essentials on YouTube for a few years, and knew my next mattress would come from there! I appreciate all the research and hard work Lee has put into providing safe and chemical free mattresses. Lee was so helpful helping me choose the right mattresses and I’m looking forward to many years of great sleep on my new mattress!
