I have been looking for a healthier mattress and bedding option for quite some time. After reading several other bloggers’ experiences and doing hours of research on my own, I came away knowing that I definitively wanted latex for several reasons. One, latex is natural if it comes from a tree and is not mixed with synthetic latex. Two, the level of comfort is very high and is just as variable as “traditional” mattresses, if not more so. Three, natural latex mattresses last ten or more years with ease and are extremely durable. Four, natural latex is a great option for those with respiratory ailments like my husband who has asthma and is allergic to seemingly everything airborne.
I looked into a few online companies like Casper. However it’s unclear where that latex comes from and it’s only a small layer in the mattress. The rest of that mattress is foam. The final nail in the coffin for online mattress companies is their the one-size-fits-all mattress approach. A claim that one type of mattress is good for everyone, makes absolutely zero sense. Have you ever shopped for a mattress with a partner? It’s pretty hard to agree, so I think the idea of a one size fits all mattress is bologna.
Today I am sharing a few photos of my experiences trying out mattresses at a store called Bedrooms and More. Bedrooms and More have been in the mattress and bedding game for 44 years and offered a huge selection of latex mattresses. The product knowledge of their sales staff and management was absolutely unparalleled and I will be sharing what I learned along the way with you.
They design a huge amount of their own products, and take the control they have over the production process very seriously. They know what works for consumers, and what lasts. That is a value I was SO drawn to.
In the coming weeks I will be reviewing the 4 items I got at Bedrooms and More; a latex pillow, a wool and cotton mattress cover, a wool duvet and a 100% tree rubber latex mattress.
At the store they educate all customers on the process of making the mattress – as I said earlier, they take the process very seriously. There are a few different methods to making a latex mattress, and right there in the store you can feel the different methods used in the industry today.
I tried each mattress with different pillows. I also learned that my shoulder pain from side sleeping could be either a mattress that is too firm or a bad pillow. It’s a very good idea to shop for both together.
Here is Bedrooms and More – family owned and operated for 44 years!
In a very relaxed atmosphere, the staff educates you about mattresses

Here I am testing out a 100% tree rubber latex mattress. They were all so comfortable, but I was able to find my perfect match.
My husband trying out the mattress. He tested them all on his back since that’s how he sleeps most of the time.
Come back later this week as I review the pillow I ended up with. I can tell you right now, my shoulder has never felt better! I can finally sleep on my side without pain and soreness in the morning!
Cheers,
Heather
