Aches and pains

I was so looking forward to receiving my new Mezzanine mattress and 3" slow response active fusion topper. I previously had an "S" brand mattress with built in topper which after only 2 years has sunk in in the middle (the fiber fill material shifted outward) making some nights less than comfortable. Let me take a step back... I typically spend many hours researching large purchases and this time was no different. I read online reviews, went to a variety of mattress dealers and tested a variety of mattress styles (coil, foam, latex etc..). After a couple months of research, and finding generally good customer feedback, I decided to purchase the Pure LatexBliss mattress. I bought the bed from Sleep Works on Long Island. Pure LatexBliss only has the one authorized retailer in my area (actually about an hour away as I live in queens) but I made a couple trips to that shop to check out the Pure LatexBliss mattresses. I ordered in mid November and late that month I received my new mattress. The first night of sleeping on this mattress I awoke many times throughout the night and by morning I was extremely sore and achey all over, especially my lower back and neck / shoulders. I thought maybe it will just take a few nights to adjust, I just need to give it time and then I'll sleep through the night. Unfortunately that didn't prove to be the case. (and still hasn't to this day) So, I decided to call Sleep Works (where I purchased the mattress) and ask them if there's anything they can do to help. I believe I spoke with Sarah and when I explained my problem with the new mattress she told me that unless the mattress sagged by more than 3/4" there is nothing they can do. I'm simply stuck with a very expensive brand new mattress that I do not look forward to sleeping on. Yay! :) Sleepworks accepts no returns unless it meets the defective criteria noted above. So this was a no go. Next I contacted Pure LatexBliss directly where I spoke with Michelle. She was very friendly but ultimately said that this sounds like a "comfort issue" and not a defective product issue. Well, it may be a "comfort issue" but it's one that has resulted in repeated bad nights of sleep and it's extremely frustrating. This purchase, and this entire situation, has left a very bad taste in my mouth and at this point I just wish I had my old mattress back, not to mention the large amount of money spent in search of "comfort". My advice, only buy from a retailer and / or manufacturer that offers a trial period (without any fine print). Unfortunately the only authorized retailer for this brand of mattress that's even remotely local to me in NY does not offer such a trial. It's also unfortunate that Pure LatexBliss has not been able to help resolve my issue. I have paid the price but let my mistake be to your advantage.

Wondering how you're liking your mattress as I'm contemplating the same one from the same store.

It's been one year now and I'm still enjoying this mattress very much. Very comfortable!
