READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BUYING!! I fear most of the reviews that are 4 and 5 stars are soon after purchasing the mattress, when the allure of having a non-toxic bed is still hot. People don't review after they've had it for a year or two, BUT I AM!
I've owned the Dreamton Queen size mattress for 3 years now. I initially bought it because I wanted toxin-free bedding. And that's what I got, however what they fail to mention (on their website and over the phone) is that a wool mattress (or wool/cotton blend in my case) is only good as a stand-alone for people with a low BMI (like 19 and under) because it's so rock hard! I have a healthy BMI of 21, but it's still too hard for me. Way too many pressure points! After suffering for a year with shoulder, low back and hip pain due to it's density, I called them and they recommended buying a latex topper. They were "kind" enough to offer it to me for 50% off, so I purchased it. The topper is only like 2 inches thick and it's STILL not enough to relieve the pressure points. I had to purchase an additional 4" goose down topper and it's STILL causing me problems. Think twice before purchasing this and know that you will HAVE to invest in additional toppers to make it usable. My set up, including a hand made wood frame, costs $2,700! And I'm pissed cause it still isn't comfortable. The only reason why I gave it a second star is because I DO support having non-toxic bedding and I like knowing that I'm not breathing in chemicals for 9 hours a night. However, I wake up feeling like crap every morning.
