Eco Terra 11 Inch Full Natural Latex Hybrid Mattress | Medium-Firm Mattress w/Encased Coil Springs

I wanted to wait before posting anything about this mattress, which my wife and I purchased in mid-December. A mattress is an item I didn't want to own a week and give a 5, so I figured a couple months was fair. The mattress arrived very quickly and in perfect condition, I had purchased a new frame which was already set up and waiting for the mattress. The box is bulky, but way easier to move the mattress in the box than trying to move the mattress by itself. I put the box across the end of the bed, gently cut it open and basically just pulled the mattress straight out onto the bed, very easy. We cut open the bag and pulled it off and that was that. Hardly any smell at all, we slept on it that night and we are so glad we spent the extra money as we love our mattress. We went out of town about a month after we had been sleeping on the new mattress and for the first time in a long time, we could agree we missed sleeping in our own bed and that was totally due to the comfort level of our mattress. I am a big guy, 325 poundsish and I have zero issues, I am also a side sleeper, again no issues. We have both been getting great night sleeps and everything else you may want to do on your bed has been great as well, not too springy and not too squishy/sinky which was my biggest concern with a memory foam type mattresses. This is something you will most likely use 7-10 years, don't go cheap on such an important part of your life.If for any reason my feelings change or if anyone has any questions, I will definitely update this review and I will always try to respond quickly to questions.**So just a brief update on 4/11/17, everything is still awesome, we did rotate our mattress, we are going to try and do that every 5-6 months since I am quite a bit bigger than my wife, to hopefully keep it wearing evenly.** Here is a tip if the mattress is sliding for you at all or if you just want to make sure it never does, they have a Safavieh Rug Pad at bed bath and beyond that is about the exact size of a queen size bed (It was about $15 bucks and I had the $5 off coupon as I am sure we all do, so it only cost us about $10) and we just bought a roll of that and laid it on the frame and it works like a champ. We purchased our frame from Amazon, it's the Zinus 14 Inch SmartBase Mattress Foundation and it is fantastic. It's very well made and it's very quiet, as in not a sound and you have huge clearance under the bed for storage or cats, which is where ours go often.*** 7/9/18 Thought it was time for another update. So we are just over a year and a half and still loving our mattress. So far still no body dents or sagging, we have rotated it around 3 times now, no idea if that’s helping or not. We purchased a brand new 12” thick memory foam mattress for our spare bedroom and it’s okay, I have napped on it to test it out, but just not as comfy to me. I bought it off Amazon and it’s rated very high with like 12k reviews. I still highly recommend this mattress and the frame mentioned above, it has also been perfect.6/23/19My last update unless something crazy happens. We could not be happier with our mattress, it’s held up perfectly, we sleep great and soundly. I could not be happier with my choice for a mattress and I hope my review helped at least one other person along the way. We spend a third of our life in bed, do it comfortably, it does make a difference. :)I will still try to answer any questions that pop into my inbox about the mattress, as long as I can give an honest and intelligent answer.

So I've been sleeping on my eco terra mattress for a couple of weeks now and it really is a quality, well-constructed, supportive mattress. Definitely a better alternative to all the memory foam mattresses on the market.However, one downside is that the mattress is a little firm for side sleepers. I am 6'3", 180 lbs, with a lean athletic build. I am also primarily a side-sleeper. I find that after about an hour, it was getting a little too much pressure on my hip and I would have to roll to the other side. I thought maybe it would break in a little after a few nights and the pressure on my hips would go away, but that didn't seem to happen, so I bought a 3" wool mattress topper that has made a big difference, but that set me back $400 which made this a pretty steep investment.So now between the support of the eco terra mattress and the comfort of the wool topper, I now have a really comfortable, all-natural sleeping environment and no more pressure on the hips when I sleep on my side. But it did come at a significant cost.

I cannot believe how much we love this mattress. Great for older, heavier folks, bad backs, back sleeper, side sleeper. The edges are very supportive when sitting on the side. No odor. We’ve had memory foam (~15 mos), Saatva (~13 mos), overpriced Adjustable bed from Costco (~few years), Sleep Number (~2 years), Tempurpedic (at least 6 years, maybe more), Beautyrest (~2 years). This is by far the best. It’s quite heavy (a good thing) so we did as one person suggested—unboxed the mattress right on the frame. Worked well for us.

We got this when it was on about a half price special, which is still a decent amount to pay for a mattress. Our last bed was a Stearns & Foster plush -firm so we weren't sure what to expect with this in 'medium' firmness.First, what I didn't like about the bed was that it was a few inches shorter, and less wide than our old S&F mattress that had fit our platform bed frame like a glove. The wife doesn't like that this one has space on the sides where you can see the wooden slats (maybe 1-1 1/2" on any given side). This has also left a bit of a void near our headboard. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing as far as the size goes, as we only have the S&F mattress to compare to. It was also about 3" less tall than the old S&F. I do feel that I hit the bed frame at night when I shift positions, but only briefly.. and I would kind of expect it since I'm over 400lbs.What I do like about it is that it really does kind of 'cradle' you when you lay in it. Our old S&F was definitely not like that. It was more like laying 'on top' of it with a little springy/foamyness. This Eco Terra is more like you lay 'in' the bed, but without a sinking feeling.It isn't hot, nor does it keep one from rolling from side to side easily with 'divots' (and I'm a big dude so I know me some divots in memory-foam type of beds). I saw concerns of 'edge crush' or rolling off the side with it being foam, etc. I've laid almost to the edge without sloping/falling off so no worries there. As for sitting on the side, I don't think this mattress or my last one liked me doing that, so I think that is just a 'me' thing.Prior to this I looked at a ton of reviews. Purple, Casper, and other ads were haunting me around the web for a month or so. The big downside with going for this one was there wasn't any of the '100 night' stuff.. it was your typical Amazon return window.. and I saw no way to legitimately roll this baby back up, stuff it in a box, and send it back if you wanted to. Luckily we didn't need to.A few things I would like to see in this mattress are another 1-2" added to the width/height of the 'King' sized mattress to fit similarly as the S&F had to a typical 'King' bedframe. I would also like either another 1-3" of foam and/or taller springs to make the bed a little taller. As it is now, its about the height of a typical mattress - 11" or so.UPDATE - nearly 2 years later.We switched to different bedroom furniture after moving recently and had to get a boxspring to use with this instead of our old platform bed. The space around the sides is not an issue with the new furniture and boxspring.It is still comfortable to lay on. Unfortunately my wife and I have developed a few back issues and apparently the orthopedic recommendation is to sleep on a firm mattress, which this 'medium' does not really qualify as. I'm not sure how much more firm the medium-firm is so I can't compare for folks looking for something firm.When the bed is made with the comforter on, you can see a bit of a divot on both sides of the bed where my wife and I lay on the bed. Our old bed didn't have this issue even after the 8 or 9 years we had it. Maybe it is just part for the course with a hybrid bed.Like I said, the bed is comfortable for folks who like something a bit softer/medium and do not require something firm for back/neck issues. We're probably going to need to swap out the mattress anyways to something firmer, which is not the mattresses fault, but I wasn't excited to see it leaving visible divots after only a few years with it being a $1100 mattress.
