This was our Queen bed. I was over the moon to bid farewell to it last week. It served us well but my entire adult life I’ve been yearning for a KING sized bed with lots of room for our 3 kiddos for Sunday morning snuggles. Our youngest still sneaks into bed with us most nights and it’s a tight squeeze. Sleep on Latex offered me a King sized mattress for review and my dreams came true!
This box arrived a couple of weeks later and I was shocked how heavy it was. It took me and my two little helpers a little while to get it inside the door. Once it was in the hallway I couldn’t get the door closed. I had to have a friend come over and help me boost it up the two steps in our hallway! It weighed 165 pounds according to the box but it seemed so much heavier than that! I will note though that my arm strength isn’t great.
My hubby has been working long days so I didn’t want to bother him to help set up the bed. I didn’t think I could do it on my own but I muscled up and with a little bit of help from my kiddos I was able to get the job done!
I bought a bed frame and box springs on craigslist for cheap and was ready for the mattress when it arrived. I boosted the box on top and cut it open with scissors (be careful not to cut your mattress!). The mattress is rolled up and wrapped in plastic. We unrolled it and it popped open half on the box springs and half off. It was a chore getting it back on — even out of the box, this mattress is super heavy.
I was so pleased with myself when I finally got the mattress on and put on the fitted sheet until I realized it was on sideways. I thought for sure I’d need the Hub’s help to turn it but again, I muscled up and got it on correctly. I was so determined!
I finally got it on correctly — doesn’t it look luxurious? It is so soft and comfy! I couldn’t wait to put on my new Mellanni Bed Sheet Set and the new coverlet I bought.
I was so pumped for my new bed that I actually painted the wall and hung the pictures in my bedroom that had been sitting there since we moved in nearly four years ago! Doesn’t it look great! I’m not finished yet either, now that I’ve started the transformation, I’m going to finish! I’ve got plans to paint our bedroom furniture. It will be like a whole new bedroom!
The first couple of nights we slept on the new bed I couldn’t decide if I even liked it. It felt a lot different than our old bed. After a couple of days though I was getting a really good night’s sleep every night and it’s so comfortable. Plus, I love having the extra room! Hubby and I noticed that we wake each other up a lot less because we can barely even feel when the other rolls over during the night. I’ve also noticed that hubby is snoring a lot less! I’ve had some neck and shoulder issues and even those seem a lot better after sleeping on our new bed for a week. Honestly, I love our new bed and bedroom so much, I don’t want to leave it! I hang out in the bedroom a lot more these days!
I got a great new sheet set for my new bed — a 4 piece Mellanni Sheet set. It came with four pieces: fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillow cases. The brushed microfiber 1800 thread count sheets are SO soft. This sheet set is affordably priced ($34.60 for King on Amazon) and is available in a variety of colors and sizes. I got white because I didn’t know what color the rest of my bedding would be and white will match with everything! The fabric is wrinkle, fade, and stain resistant and hypoallergenic. The deep pocket fitted sheet has elastic all the way around, not just on the corners like most sheets. This makes it easy to put on and keeps it in place! It also fits mattresses up to 16″. I love this feature because the bed sheets never come un-made. The thing I love best though? The lifetime guarantee! If for any reason you decide the sheet set isn’t for you, simply email and receive 100% money back refund with no questions asked. You don’t even have to return the set! Trust me though, you will love these sheets!

The natural latex used in Sleep on Latex products is harvested from rubber trees in Sri Lanka. Natural latex is a natural resource with physical performance properties that far surpass synthetic latex. Pure Green Latex Foam is certified by both Oeko-Tex and ecoInstitut, the world’s leading independent textile product testing bodies. It carries a Class 1 certification from Oeko-tex, their most stringent class. It also performs testing to verify that the products comply with their standards. All of their certifications are in the “Sleep On Latex” name so you can be sure you are actually buying a certified product.
The cover of the mattress is made with two separate pieces that are attached together with a simple, heavy-duty zipper. This zipper is hidden underneath the bottom edge of the mattress. The zipper can be easily unzipped to access the latex foam inside the mattress. The cover can also be completely removed and dry cleaned if needed. The cover comes already on the mattress so you won’t have to worry about putting it on yourself. The design of the cover features a simple channel quilting pattern that is not only attractive but comfortable too!
The cover is stretchy so it won’t impact the feel of the latex. Other stiff fabrics will prevent it from bending like it should but the soft knit cotton Sleep on Latex cover allows you to feel the softness of the latex foam.
Sleep on Latex mattresses are available in a variety of sizes (twin, twin xl, full, full xl, queen, king, California king) and firmnesses (soft, medium and firm).These options were designed to to accommodate all sleeping styles and preferences. I got the 9″ medium King size and absolutely love it!
