I've just placed a deposit for a Slumberland Royal Excellence at Bed**** S****. Around $3500 with 2 pillows, a mattress protector and free Slumberland windsor bedframe..Was also in a dilemna during the process of choosing mattress..Tried all the Ss, serta, simmons, sealy, slumberland etc..We narrowed down between Simmons beautyrest backcare 4 and Slumberland Royal Excellence before deciding to go for slumberland .Think that it offers the most value for money.The coils are individually pocketed, with latex plush top and layer of jamu wool on it. The sales person also said that no glue was used to stick the layers between the mattress unlike other big brands. Well, it sounds pretty good to us as imagine breathing in the toxic glue fumes emitting from the mattress daily when we sleep *gasp!*
I haven't heard anything negative about wool though. But shouldn't pose much of an issue bah? It's not like we are sleeping on top of the mattress itself with our nose facing down. The mattress protector and bed sheet would be additional layers between the actual wool top and our nose. In fact, the salesman was saying wool's good for pregnant women and old women as it can absorb excess water content from our cells. Haha, but saying again that there's the mattress protector n bed sheet between the matress and our body, guess that advantage is very minimal if there even is! It's just the wool material is really comfy to sleep on. That's the main advantage to us. =D
Considering that a similar range with wool and latex could cost more than $5k for sealy or simmons, think we got quite a good deal by choosing slumberland instead .
