Here is what some of our customers have to say. Please contact us and let us know about your experience with Savvy Rest. We’d love to hear from you.

"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that Savvy Rest may have literally saved my daughter's life! We were getting quite worried because she would be fine during the day, but as soon as she went to bed she would cough, and cough, and cough some more. Every night. All night. Quite often until she threw up (at least once a week). It was by accident that we discovered the problem might be her bed when we did some shuffling around to accomodate guests at Christmas time and she didn't cough as bad when she wasn't sleeping in her bed, so I started researching. I came across the Savvy Rest website, visited my "almost local" dealer and got her a bed. 100% improvement on the first night!! She has been sleeping on her bed for a couple weeks now and has NOT ONCE coughed like she did before.

You can imagine the positive effects this has had on her life in general...better attitude, more attentive in school, etc. Thank you Savvy Rest!! It's amazing what a good, toxin-free night's sleep will do!!

I've been recommending you to everyone I know.

Now I'm saving up to get her little brother a Savvy Rest bed, too.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

All the best,"

"We started looking for organic mattresses after I got pregnant for the second time. During early pregnancy, my sense of smell becomes highly acute, and I noticed for the first time that my toddler daughter woke up every morning with a terrible chemical smell on her face from her crib mattress. I was horrified to think that she had been breathing that in every night for nearly two years!

We decided to buy new organic mattresses for both our daughter and our new child. We also decided to buy one for our own bed, since I had experienced so much back and hip pain during my first pregnancy, and my husband was experiencing shoulder stiffness and soreness every morning.

After researching and shopping around quite a bit, I decided to place our order with Savvy Rest. Their prices are very reasonable, and I was impressed by the integrity they exhibited in producing their product and which they seemed to practice in their customer relations, also. I could not be more pleased with our choice! The beds are both well-made and very "user-friendly." I have had the cover for our queen size bed "green"-dry-cleaned, and it still fits and works perfectly.

My daughter has slept well in her new "big girl bed" since the first night, and she wakes up smelling like a sweet, sleepy child should smell--not a chemical factory.

Now only two weeks from my due date, I have experienced hardly ANY back and hip pain this pregnancy--a total change from the months of painful nights on our old mattress! And my husband LOVES sleeping on his side of the bed. With very different needs in a mattress, we practically needed two different beds. The customized "split" mattress we were able to order has worked perfectly to solve our problem.

And the folks at Savvy Rest have been pure pleasure to deal with throughout the process, including patiently answering MANY questions, and helping us make adjustments and shipping alternate layers of latex to us. We are thrilled with our purchase from Savvy Rest!

Sincerely,"

--P.B., Santa Clarita, CA

“After one night I woke up this a.m. and had no hip stiffness that I have been waking up with. Pretty impressed thus far.”

--C.F., Virginia

“Everything went well with my delivery. I am very pleased with my experience and will recommend your company and products. Speedy delivery, frequent emails concerning delivery progress, courteous delivery personnel, and a great product have made my experience enjoyable! Thanks for your help.”

--M.M., Upstate New York

“Since my wife bought me a latex pillow, she says I snore less. Thank you, Savvy Rest!”

--L.D., Ohio

“After spending my whole life sleeping on a conventional mattress, I’ve invested in a “natural rubber latex” bed from Savvy Rest and I’m so happy to have made the switch! Having been a very light sleeper for many years, I didn’t know how it felt to sleep so comfortably and so soundly. My husband is sleeping more soundly also, and doesn’t have to shift around so much through the night (due to sore shoulders or hips from pressure on a conventional mattress).

The Organic Serenity mattress is very supportive without being stiff, and gently molding to the body without being squishy soft. And knowing that I’m not inhaling any chemicals while I sleep is the icing on the cake.

We also ordered the Camden Platform bed and are very pleased with its simple beauty and sturdy construction.

And the customer service at Savvy Rest is second to none. Friendly, helpful, and courteous, Michael and Seanan were a joy to do business with.

I would recommend Savvy Rest to anyone interested in better sleep and the healthiest choice available!”

--Michelle N., Colorado

"I don’t want a new latex mattress. I’ve had the one I sleep on since 1975 and I love it. Anybody who doesn't buy a rubber mattress is making a mistake."

--V.L., Charlottesville, Va.

“We wanted you to know that we fell in love with our new Savvy Rest mattress from the first night’s sleep. Ted has stopped keeping me up with his snoring because...he’s basically stopped snoring. We think he’s falling into more deep REM sleep and therefore more at peace. I’m sleeping through the night as a rule, rather than the exception. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate this new mattress.”

--C.C., Maine

“The bed has arrived and it is great. The platform bed looks wonderful. We are enjoying it tremendously. The guys who came to set up did a great job. Thanks so much for your help - I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone!”

--T.L., Michigan

“My wife and I slept on a Tempur-Pedic mattress for 5 years, and we enjoyed the comfort of it. However, when we considered that she was waking up with headaches for about 5 years, she immediately changed to a 100% organic wool pillow.

When she woke up the next morning, she said that she could breathe better. Then we realized that the memory foam was toxic, so we ordered a Savvy Rest Organic Tranquility mattress. We have had it for about 4 months now, and my wife’s headaches have almost totally cleared up. Five years of migraine headaches, doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors, thousands of dollars of medical bills and suffering, and it was cured simply by changing our mattress. Thank you, Savvy Rest.”

--H.P., Virginia

“After a lifetime of futons I have spent the last week attempting to buy a mattress. So far, this has entailed visits to a half-dozen stores with all the requisite lying down, rolling about, and flipping over repeated ad infinitum. The excruciatingly ill-informed but, nevertheless, aggressive, salesmen have been an unexpected bonus. What with all the bed-hopping and peer-pressure it’s been a bit like an episode of some tawdry teen drama.

Thus, I was delighted when I stumbled upon your lovely website. The healthy approach and conscientious attention to detail are totally appreciated.”

--M.D., New York

“Pregnant and loving our Savvy Rest mattress! Thank you so much for offering such a fine product. Being pregnant can put some real stress on joints and muscles. As recommended, during my pregnancy I’ve slept on my side. In my seventh month of pregnancy, I was having sharp pains in my hips and pelvis upon waking in the morning from a traditional innerspring mattress. Until I slept on our Savvy Rest mattress. After the first night on our mattress I experienced instant pain relief. I can’t tell you how much this mattress has improved my comfort level. Everyone in our family enjoys sleeping on the Savvy Rest, including my husband and our four cats. I’m sure our baby will also sleep peacefully in our new family bed.”

--H.M., Alexandria, Virginia

“I just wanted to let you know what a difference the Savvy Rest mattress has made in my life. For years on my old mattress, I would wake up in the morning so stuffed up that it would take me the better part of the day for my head to clear. I always thought it was my cat, but now that I sleep on my Savvy Rest mattress, I know it was the chemicals found in my old mattress that were the culprit. It is so wonderful to wake up with a clear head and now my cat can sleep on my bed again. Another benefit, I’m almost off my allergy medicine. Thank you Savvy Rest!”

--K.S., Virginia

“First off, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful mattress I received from you. Until I had slept on your mattress I slept only on my side or stomach, often changing between the two in the night, and making mattress selection very difficult. Considering the variance in my sleep pattern we tried a firm base, with one medium and one soft layer that I’ve tried in different orders. The first night I tried with the soft layer on top and laid down on my back just to see how it felt I fell asleep on my back that evening for the first time that I’ve ever been aware of and awoke refreshed in the exact same position having not moved an inch! And even when I awoke sweating due to poor temperature control of the radiators/boilers I still did so a full 8 hours later. Even heat doesn’t seem to disturb my rest any more. Simply astounding. I feel so much better and my sensitivities to chemicals appreciate the fact that I’m not breathing in formaldehyde eight out of every 24 hours. Most notably, however, the mattress is so comforting that I actually look forward to going to bed and I find myself not only getting more restful sleep but just more sleep in general—a difficult thing for a passionate artist type like myself to admit. So thank you! Best to you and sincere regards.”

--C.H., New York, NY

"I think mattresses are an invisible culprit in a lot of health issues. Once you make your bed it becomes a big blank decorative thing...it's easy to forget its real function. I knew a new mattress would ease my night-time back pain, and it has, but there was another surprise.

The first morning after I slept on my Savvy Rest, I woke up thinking, so this is what it's like to breathe freely! I'd grown so accustomed to congestion from mild allergies that chronic stuffiness had begun to feel 'normal.' What a pleasure it is to breathe clearly, and to know no dust mite 'residues' have been clogging my airways while I sleep."

--L.W., Charlottesville, VA

"At night the mattress gives just enough to fill the small of my back and various other nooks and crannies. For the first time in my life I actually look forward to collapsing onto a mattress and going to sleep. I don't half miss it when I am away on an expedition or assignment!"

--P.D., West Chester, PA

"I wanted to check in with you and let you know that our Savvy Rest mattress arrived and is beautiful. According to the tracking at UPS, it arrived less than 48 hours after it was shipped. So far, it seems to be the perfect firmness.

You probably already know this -- but the Savvy Rest packaging and labeling was immaculate. Everything was packed in very sturdy boxes and very obviously labeled. Even the instructions were in a zip-lock bag taped to the top of the first box rather than tossed in somewhere. I was glad to see the latex was not vacuum packed. I order quite a bit of stuff online and this was one of the best experiences I have had."

Thank you so much!

--M. S., Madison, WI

It's probably been at least a year since I received my mattress in the way you suggested it be configured. I have never had such a comfortable mattress. To think of all those other stupid mattresses I threw money at all my life! Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me figure out what to get....I vacuum it once a week.... I don't know what it is about this mattress, but it's wonderful. I think partly it is because it heats the body where it needs to be heated, and it contours perfectly to one's shape. Not too hard, not too soft.

Thanks.

--P.B., Washington

"This is the first time in probably 12 years that I've purchased a new mattress, since college actually. It has honestly been a very pleasurable experience. You are obviously passionate about your product and my gut tells me that Savvy Rest is in a very good position to prosper. I'm sitting on my bed as I write this, it is the centerpiece of my room, the most important piece in my entire apartment. I don't regret a single penny I've spent."

I am forever grateful.

--P.M., New York

We had one of the best innerspring mattresses made, but I awoke every morning hardly able to get out of bed with stiffness and back, shoulder, and hip pain.... Even though the quality of the innerspring was “top-of-the-line”, It was just too hard on my joints.When you see a cross-section of how innerspring mattresses are made, it isn’t hard to guess why.

I knew I wanted latex foam because it gives with your body, while supporting it gently, and seems to have a “life” to it that immediately responds back to its original position as my body moves and turns.I had often wondered why anyone would choose the so-called “memory foam”.What a “Madison Avenue” marketing job that is!Anyone who has ever tried one by laying down on it soon finds out that it is like trying to turn over in snow.... So hard to turn your body as you actually are maneuvering against the impression....

My husband had never slept on “latex” before, and thought he would not like it because he had always like a very “hard” feel to his mattress. That translated in his mind as “support”.However, because of my continued problems with our existing mattress, he was willing to give it a chance.

I had a back injury that had been prolonged by the uncomfortable mattress I was sleeping on, but since I have had this one my back has made significant strides toward healing and I no longer arise stiff and achy.

We also like the emphasis of SavvyRest on natural materials and their organic cotton mattress casings.I had been having increasing reactions to various chemicals and smells, so that was important to us....

We are so pleased with our “perfect” mattress we couldn’t imagine sleeping on anything else.When we travel and have to sleep in hotels, we are reminded of what we usually sleep on.It is always a welcome relief to return home and sleep on “our” mattress.We both love it.

The people at SavvyRest were absolutely true to their word in everything they said we could expect from them.We heartily recommend others do business with them, without reservation.

--S.W., West Virginia

Laura, We've spent one night on our new beds, and we are thrilled!This was such a joy -- thank you so much.We could not be happier, and my husband swears he woke up today not even needing to stretch out as he's been doing for neck pain for years.

--J.F., Virginia

Our new Serenity Mattress arrived yesterday.I was really nervous because many years ago I took a risk and bought a water bed. It was a disaster filling it with water, setting it up, not getting the comfortable sleep I'd hoped for, and it weighed a ton so the bed could never be moved.The unpleasant memories of that experience made me anxious about purchasing a bed that we would have to put together.However, I ampleased to tell you that my husband and I, who are not very adept at assembling things, were able to "build a bed" by reading the clear, specific instructions.

Although I try to live in the moment, I witnessed myselfsuccessfully completing each step, but anxious that the next step was going to "fail".But that never happened.It was amazing!If only I had been able to let go and trust. I think it is a result of years of buying merchandise that fails us, so we expect the worse. Perhaps with responsible merchants and quality products we can begin to trust again. We don't have to settle. It is encouraging that consumers can choose healthier, better products without being skeptical and fearing the worst.

We spent our first night on our Savvy Rest mattress. We both agreed that it was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. My husband noticed that he was able to sleep on his back for a longer period of time. I woke up without heavy nasal congestion. With the split latex, we couldn't feel each other's movements.

Yours truly,

--E.S., Cincinnati, OH

We were looking at going up to 2 weeks with no mattress, and you have cut that time considerably! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had been thinking, even before you offered this help with delivery time, that I was so happy to have found you guys, and that I knew where I would buy mattresses for the rest of my life.

Your kindness is immeasurable in our time of need and sadness, and we will be forever thankful for your humanity and for the way your company does business. Please thank Seanan and others who have helped make this possible.

With gratitude,

--Betsy, Virginia

I have had a latex mattress for 50 years now (one of the first) and want to buy one for my son too. He has tried mine out and really likes the comfort. I have not found a REAL latex mattress in any of the stores. They are all junk (shredded foam and fillers). Even after 50 years, my mattress is still great! I'm glad I found your site.

--B. D., Massachusetts

I recently placed an order for king sized mattresses and got them a few weeks ago...I LOVE THEM!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with my purchase and will buy from you guys again!After all my girls will need new mattresses soon.Thanks for such a wonderful experience!!

--B.H., Midland, Texas

Dear Dominick,

This is a long overdue thank you for all the fantastic customer service you, Donna, Harper and Michael offered me. I was extremely impressed with the personal care you all gave me and realize my remote Canadian location added twists to what could have been a more straightforward sale for you. I am grateful for all the assistance you personally gave me in finalizing the shipping details.
We are enjoying the mattress and feeling more rested than we have in a very long time.

--J.N., Whaletown, BC, Canada

Wow! I have slept on my bed for nearly a week now! The first thing I noticed was no stiffness in the morning when I got up. After getting used to the change, I have slept 8 hours straight for the last 2 nights! I usually wake up 5-6 times during the night, and 5 1/2-6 hours of sleep is all I usually get. It is incredible and I am so glad to have found you and made the decision to purchase my bed.

You guys were great to work with, everything arrived in a timely manner, in perfect condition and assembly was easy. I highly recommend you and your product to everyone and particularly anyone who has had trouble sleeping on any type of conventional bed. Thanks a million!

--T. B., Amarillo, TX

We purchased this mattress (Cal King) in September, 2009. I wanted to be sure and give it some time before providing a review to be fair since it always takes some time to adjust to a new mattress.

WRONG!!! From the moment we put the bed together (and despite some comments that it was difficult, it was not at all) and laid down on it, I could not believe how comfortable this bed was. For my wife and I who had been sleeping on a soft-sided waterbed for 20 years, there literally was no adjustment period. That first night, I have not slept better in years and nothing has changed since then. I have never been able to sleep on my back, but with this latex bed, that is no longer true. I would snore anytime I was on my back and for some reason, that does not happen with this bed! Turning over at night now no longer wakes me up and the support is perfect and unlike TempurPedic mattresses, this latex stays cool. I also used to wake up with my shoulders aching or my hips aching since I always slept on my sides, but honestly, that has not been the case for even one night since we bought this mattress.

Spending over $2000 for a mattress is always a cause for some concern, but in this case, we could not have made a better decision and could not be any happier! And the fact that this model is organic is even better as we both have some allergies and have had no problems. We LOVE IT! It is the best money I have ever spent...that is no exaggeration in our case.

One other thing, our dogs, unfortunately, seem to be as much in love with this mattress as we are :). Not a night goes by without us waking up in the morning with them in bed and that was not the case with the waterbed. Even better, due to the latex, we don't even notice when they jump into the bed at night as it causes almost no movement in the mattress and they both weigh over 60lbs.

We are so satisfied with this mattress, we have recommended it to anyone that asks and my sister-in-law and her husband have also just bought one in the last 2 weeks!
Thanks!!!

--R.M., Austin, TX

I found the best mattress I've ever slept on over the internet. I was really nervous about trying this, but it worked out so well, I figured I'd share the information!

My 2 kids and I were crammed into a full sized bed and had hit the point where nobody was sleeping anymore. The kids wanted to keep co-sleeping, so we needed a big mattress that would fit on our existing loft. I also needed something that could go up 5 flights of stairs through narrow hallways and ultimately thru my teeny doorways.

We found a mattress that is by far the most comfortable I've ever slept on. Better yet, it showed up in pieces (a mattress case and three layers cut in half--a design which allowed me to specify exactly how firm/soft I wanted the mattress to be). It takes about half an hour to put it all together and the heaviest piece was 25 lbs. I was able to do it myself.

The case was sewn to size so we have a custom-made almost king sized mattress on our loft bed now, and the price was very reasonable.

The mattress is made from organic latex, I wanted something with some give, but I hate memory foam. Latex is very elastic, unlike memory foam which is slow to change shape if you move.

The mattress came from savvyrest.com. I found the company because their mattresses were rated among the best 5 in the industry, a close second behind the most expensive available. Savvy Rest had a reputation for being half the price, small, kind and hugely into customer service. They really lived up to their reputation. Michael Penny, the owner, was just wonderful to deal with. He taught me enough so that I made a really good first-time guess for firmness, (Savvy Rest will swap layers if a mattress needs to be firmer or softer) he worked with me on logistics too.

The fact that the mattress is organic was a huge plus since in the past year fire retardancy laws have led some manufacturers to use chemicals to meet the new standards. Savvy Rest uses organic wool in their mattress case which is naturally slow to burn.

Anyway, the entire transaction and the result were so good, that when Michael mentioned that the company has a "referral reward" I turned it down. They've given us a great mattress at a great price. I'd rather be able to recommend them with nothing to gain!

--S.S., New York, NY

It was amazing the difference it made. I slept really well. I especially appreciated how quiet and still it was. Usually every time my husband rolled over our old mattress would creak and jostle and I am a very light sleeper. Anyway, I can't wait to go back to bed tonight! Thanks so so much.
