Its already in your own description, the base is foam, so its just latex padding on top with foam on bottom.
I'm eyeing the Englander New Cambridge mattress, same reinforced latex padding on top but with inner spring system. Basically it is same as the Boston except its inner spring. Oh and its cheaper too, RM999 for queen size!

This will be going for my guest room, so its alright. Can't find anything else @ RM999 with latex on top.

iamsobloodysick You have anything to recommend at that price? Oh and do you sell Englander? Can buy from you as well.

I've had bad experience with foam in the past (Brand:Aerofoam), after 7 years or so it starts to disintegrate.

search on the net about Ikea mattresses. They don't get very positive and raving reviews.

if you're looking for a sprung mattress with latex topper, try

Then let me know Its not pocket spring tho. Think pocket spring will cost more.

For your budget I'd like at that as well. Looks like good value for money. Its a firm mattress.


I don't like Sealy Tempur, that sinking feeling. I prefer Savoir Beds.

Coir is just coconut husk, I've slept on coir mattress on occasion (parent's guest room), I have sensitive skin, but no issue for me. But regarding the useful life..its true. Doesn't last very long.

For RM1200 budget.. you can buy real mainstream brands like Vono and Englander. You should have a look.

Well I *do not* think you spend 8 hours a day with your car right? hahaha. Find the mattress YOU like. Recommendations are just a suggestion, at the end of the day you will need to feel comfortable with it.

My own personal choice is firmer, and I'll put a topper on it. There's no *wrong* mattress, but there are cheap and nasty ones.

Undisputed market leaders are the 3S, Simmons, Serta, Sealy.
I personally don't like Sealy due to the way their coil spring works, and I like pocketed inner spring mattresses.

Tempur, if you like the sinking feeling, I don't. They are a subsidiary of Sealy.

Westin's Heavenly Bed is made by Simmons, Hilton Serenity Bed is made by Serta, Four Seasons Hotels uses Simmons as well. These are properties they run for ~$500 to $1000 a night, so they choose the best there is, while not being ridiculous -- no gold threads, virgin hair or silly things like that. Just an awesome sleeping experience.

Its a bait and switch. There's no real good deals. Macam yes tapi bukan.

I think you need to get a different bed frame. Is that using those tulang ikan? Better you get a flat divan base to support the mattress properly, else you will destroy your beautiful mattress very fast.

Anybody know what's the cheapest 100% latex mattress in the market? And how much? Need to buy one very soon, after finish renovate need to furnish.

I got Simmons pillows & MyLatex pillows... I prefer the Latex ones.

1. Features and brands doesn’t really matter. Lying down on the mattress and listening to what your body tells you is important.
2. Asking about mattress online is pointless if you’ve never tried any. If I say mattress A is a 8 in firmness, it may only be a 5 to you. But if you tried a mattress in the showroom and you say too hard or too soft, the experienced sales person will know which model to recommend you to try.
3. Brands don’t matter… that much. Generally big manufacturers should be fine.
4. Cheap mattress are cheap, doesn’t last - Neckpro gave me great first impression, but after a year it doesn’t feel that great nor hold up that well - relative to my Simmons which is now close to 9 years old and holding strong.

Here’s a review about our fellow Mattressdepot

1. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable about mattress product ranges.
2. He’s straightforward, give you facts, not trying to upsell you or BS you to buy a certain brand or model with higher margin. He recommends you based on your preference.
3. I told him my budget was 5k, he wasn’t trying to recommend me around 5k to use up my budget, but genuinely recommended me a few mattresses based on my requirements and within the budget.
4. Did I mention he doesn’t bullshit and doesn’t try to upsell you? Ask him questions and he will answer you honestly. He don’t give you cock story.

I ended up buying King Koil hospitality suites well below my budget. Happy with my purchase, better than my old Simmons. I went to the showroom to try Slumberland Warwick but it was discontinued, tried Vitalize model, and other models. Truth be told, King Koil is not desirable brand for me, but lying down on hospitality suite, my body told me this is the one.

Very heavy if the entire thing is latex, changing sheets will be a PITA. My friend has one, that’s his only complaint.

3 years plus now. How’s your Neckpro mattress? Still as good as before or now feel lembik?

How is your Sonno holding up?

Price is NOT a good indicator of quality, but in most cases anything above RM2k for king size from reputable brands (e.g. LSK, Hilding Anders) should be ok.

RM10k for my Simmons, imported from Korea (lol).
I bought it almost 10 years back... still very good. I do rotate (not flip) the mattress every 2 years or so. because I only sleep one side of the bed because forever alone.

But, I story you a bit. I did not intend to buy the mattress. I went to Homedec, then the Simmons guy so friendly ask me come try their mattress so I went. The mattress I bought was actually the cheapest one there (but I didn't know). I also lie down on their most expensive mattress, price of a Vios that time which I didn't like at all, give me free also I don't want. And I also told him I didn't come here to buy mattress but he was still very friendly and accommodating.

Then I continue whole Homedec and lie down on many mattresses, went back to Simmons lie down some more. And I kena poison, my body tell me this one lah. That's how I end up with it. Until today the mattress still supportive.

Morale of the story.. forget about the brands, forget about the specifications, set a budget and just go and lie down and listen to your own body.

I bought a queen size mattress from Mattressdepot. And I highly recommend visiting him. Because he is not interested to sell you the mattress that gives him the most profit. He will just listen to what you like (soft, hard, medium, firm, plush) and recommend which mattress to lie down on within your budget.

He didn't even bother to use up all my budget lol. Normal sales guy you say RM5k budget they try sell you RM6k mattress. I told him RM5k he pointed all the mattress that meet my requirements within my budget for me to try, I settled for one around RM3k.

I think trying to find a mattress on a forum a bit tough lah, what is considered firm to you, may be soft to me. So for something that you sleep on everyday it is worth it to make a trip and spend time finding what is right for you.

I recommend Joseph cause he truly is a no nonsense straightforward guy. Don't try to sell you with sales jargon or silly claims.

Let’s try something new

What mattress are you sleeping on, and why you choose that mattress (since there will be mattresses with similar feel).

Call Joseph lah. lol how he know which King Koil model you buy. lol. The entire range got soft and plush to firm and hard.

1) buying sheets, moving house, replacing mattress will be a pain..and its going to cost a lot single its a production line of making just 1 mattress
2) just build a platform bed and you can put 2 queen or 1 queen 1 king or 1 queen or 1 single... possibility is endless
3) California king size.. rare as well but I think maybe can find

Just get 2 queen mattresses.. put on platform..done. if she not enough get a king for her, a queen for yourself. why wanna susah2 custom

later make already not ngam.. wah headache. you stick to standard sizes got plenty of choices.

What is your current mattress that has indentation? Failed support after only 3 years is very poor quality.

My genuine recommendation, visit mattress depot in Kajang. Tell him your budget, and both you and your wife tell him what you are looking for, what feel, what sensation.

He will point out mattresses for you to try based on your requirements, not pricing. He genuinely tries to help you find the mattress that fits you, not the one with the highest profit margin to him.

When you are ready to spend so much money, take the time to find what is best for your body.

I give him high praise because he truly helps you to find what you want, and no BS from him.

Also, genuine pure latex won’t lose support so easily, definitely last longer than foam. And full latex mattress is a pain in the butt to change sheets cause it’s so heavy.

That kind of budget I will lie down on Sealy, Serta, Simmons, Slumberland, maybe King Koil and Dunlopillow

Others I won't bother already.

I went from RM3xx coir tilam to Simmons fully imported. Didn't buy it because of the brand. In fact, didn't plan on buying any mattress at all. Was at a huge home fair when it was very early and just lay down on it. And I went lay down on a lot of mattresses in the fair, and circle back to buy the Simmons. Didn't buy it for the brand, but because of how it felt when I lay down on it. Plus it was the cheapest model in the lineup.

One key difference between the brands I listed (that I've experience myself) and affordable online e-commerce brands like Neckpro, Dr.Alstone (which I own) is the longevity and mattress support. I was blown away when I first lay down on brand new Neckpro mattress, asking myself wow, 10x cheaper yet still so supportive. Fast forward 2 years it has lost all support -- the mattress doesn't appear sunk. No indentation but the spring coils have lost its resistance and doesn't offer any support, and when you lie down on it, its lumpy in certain spots and you sink randomly.

Both gives good initial impression of lying on it when it’s new. For the money paid… can’t complain.

If you bought a queen size my advice would be to sleep on different sides of the mattress and rotate it frequently.

I had tenant who lie down on Neckpro and Alstone… to them they feel both are better than those super cheap foam ones. You get what you pay for… no more no less.

Vono would have something in that range with spring. Vono probably last longer than online brands. Manufactured by Hilding Anders Malaysia… a big group. Same family as Slumberland. But Vono has its own technology and history.

Many e-commerce “brands” are just that, a brand. They don’t make their own products. Deduct out their profit margin and there ain’t much budget left to make the actual product.

Edit: how’s your Neckpro after 3 years? Still feel as good as you remember on day 1?
