Few months in, started sagging

I bought a latex Englander pillow top bed about 6 years ago, in the store it was super comfortable but after I got it (Queen size) and had it for a few months it started sagging. I only weigh 143 and it shouldn't do that. Within a few years it was awful. When it became horrible, I called them and spoke with the customer service team, I sent pictures and documented how bad it was. The bed I had was discontinued, and they actually replaced it with a top of the line pillow top mattress--it was their best model, and probably about an $1800 mattress. I was thrilled, now 6 months into it--I have to turn the thing constantly to avoid the sagging. It is almost as bad as the other one and I completely hate it. I bought a new bed this week. I really wanted it to work out but these are just not great. I can say their customer service was excellent, but I would never recommend these. They aren't cheap and they are so uncomfortable--I can't imagine 2 people on one that weigh more than me.

Started sagging in eight months

We spent $1150+ on an E-gel, cool gel technology Queen, and after about 8 months it started to sag. Englander sent someone over to check the bed and we were told it was 'expected' wear and tear - I'm furious - less than 2 years old - absolutely awful and I am doing everything in my power to spread the word everywhere on the net about this company and their expensive, sagging mattress. :( My $400 mattress was more comfortable after 6 years than this one. I feel bitter about the amount of money and lack of accountability for poor quality, poor durability and crap customer service. Anyone know how to launch a class-action law suit against these clowns?

Bought in the 90s -- still good!

I bought an Englander mattress in December 1996. It was a double-pillow top queen sized mattress with the matching box spring. It is only now that I am thinking of replacing it with a new mattress. I am thinking about a memory foam mattress. This model was the best one that the store carried. For the entire time that I have had the mattress, it was wonderful and very comfortable. The only reason that I am want to replace it, it because of its age. It always had a protective cover on it.

Cheap and good

Just bought a englander capri. Queen size for $396 after tax. So far so good

Best mattress I ever owned

Had a Queen pillowtop for a month now. Absolutely the best Mattress I've ever owned. I saved hundreds of dollars and would recommend The Mattress Outlet and Englander Mattress to anyone that wants a great night's sleep. You do not need to spend thousands to be comfortable. I am completely satisfied with the product.

Love it

We bought a englander back in 05 and have been happy every night since. I feel like I am sleeping on a cloud. Not sure the model but it was about $1200

Worst ever

I bought an Englander Ultimate Visco Pillowtop, expensive, the store went out of business and I am stuck with the worst mattress in the world, it is only two and a half years old and has two holes one on each side and a hump in the middle, pleople learn from my mistake do not buy this mattress. 

Biggest ripoff of my life

Do not buy an Englander mattress. The biggest ripoff in my life of 56 years is the Englander mattress. Only 6 months ago we bought one for over $800.00. I have been sleeping in a hole for 3 months now. Tomorrow i will cut it in half and transport the halves to the wholesaler where I will glue them to the sidewalk in front of the store.

Durability -- NONE

Bought this mattress three months ago and it has a giant hole directly in the middle of the mattress. I am not a big person and can't understand how normal sleep would ever cause something like this to happen. I am so disappointed and all I want is a new mattress, but the store said that the sale was final. I was jipped out of hundreds of dollars.

My back aches and the mattress is falling apart

Six months in and I can't even sleep in this bed because the bedding itself has entirely degraded. I am not a sensitive sleeper and would gladly sleep on a couch any day, but this bed has turned into a painful metal mess. I can't do this to myself.

Constant pain and sagging

Bought this bad a year ago and have been in constant pain since 2 weeks in. The shoddy crafstmanship is unbelievable. Buyer beware!!!

Everyone loves it

I purchased my mattress by chance from an store that was going out of business in 2007. To this day everyone that comes to visit brags about the restful night they get. Nothing but snores from the guest bedroom. I brought my second one, replacing my mattress with an Englander, now I have two. I hope my second one last as long as my first one.

I purchased a king sized mattress

I purchased a king sized mattress and box spring January 2014 - from Beds Beds Beds in Crestwood, The mattress is an Englander Mattress OAKVILLE FM is what is on the tag. I emailed Englander Bedding twice and got no answer - I will try calling the company directly later today. The mattress is lumpy my spouse and I weight about 137-150 each so there is no valid reason why the mattress should be lumpy. I don't know if this complaint will do anything but I quite unhappy with the mattress (the box spring appears ok). I keep hearing Englander mattress stands by their product and so far no response. The mattress before we see that it is lumpy in 3 spots is a firm mattress and we both got a good nights sleep.

Englander Geneseo

Mattress has been sagging for 3-4 years now, and it is only 6 years old! I only weigh 135 pounds! Wake up stiff and sore. Just bought a big name competitor's mattress/box springs and guess what -- all my aches and stiffness went away.

Sags in the middle after 4 months

Bought Englander (hampstead model) mattress. I am a smaller than average person and it started sagging in the middle. Every night I end up rolling into the center. Back and hips sore. Contacted customer service twice several months ago and no one ever responded. Will never buy this brand again. I will check the listings from Consumer Reports before I buy another mattress. Thought this would be better because it was a made in USA company.

Horrible Mattress!!

We purchased this mattress after being told this is a "commercial hotel" brand. We knew w/in the 1st week it was not for us. Very hard, most uncomfortable mattress we have ever owned, began to sag after "one" month. I went to the store we purchased from 3 times, I was told by everyone I spoke to "sorry we can't do anything about it" or "you have to call the manufacturer" or "just lay on it more" . The manufacturer sent a bunch of forms to complete but if it did not sag to their "inch" requirement it did not qualify to return. Any sagging that soon is not good, still uncomfortable, we have regretted this purchase of the ENGLANDER mattress & would not suggest you purchase one at all!!

Sagging less than a year!

After only a few months my full size bed began sagging in the middle. It's the Englander Hampstead model. I'm 140lbs, athletic. Now I wake with back & hip pain (combo sleeper- I change positions through the night). Contacted the manufacturer twice with zero response. The box spring is very cheaply made. Horrible waste of money. Now checking reviews before I buy another bed. Will not purchase this brand again. Never had a bed fail in such a short period of time.

Sagging at 5 months. NOT Good

After 5 months from purchase my mattress started getting a depression in the middle of the mattress, AND a big depression on the side of the bed. And which started causing me back issues due to sleeping a bed with defective support.

check your frame

I purchased my first Englander Pillowtop Mattress in 2008. The one I bought, just like many others on this list of reviews was horrible. within the first couple to three months it Started sagging in the middle. I contacted the retailor I purchased it from and they sent out a tech for measurements (a string with 2 weights-one on each end hang over both sides of bed and check depth in middle) and agreed to replace mattress with a new one. Then about two to three months later the same thing with the new mattress-again replaced. When replacing the second mattress, I looked under the box spring to notice that the boards under the box spring were different than customary ones. At this point, I bought a nine leg bed frame instead of the four leg model and the bed has not had this problem again. Check your box spring and maybe consider changing your frame or possible run boards across it for additional support. Hopefully this help some of you..

Englander Brighton Mattress

We bought an Englander Brighton about 18 months ago. It started sagging so we turned it around. Still sagged. Contacted Englander who referred us to the local dealer. Took them pictures and they were great about replacing it with a new one. We have had this one only 3 months and it is sagging as much as the first one. We weigh 150 lbs and 120 lbs. (Not heavy people.) Totally disappointed with the product. Not sure what well do next. Sure won't buy another Englander. The company may be great, but this mattress is terrible.

Lie about warranty

I reached out a week ago for them because I was looking for the warranty for the beat for the mattress I bought nobody reached out sent me an email nothing just completely ignored me until I think that's some professional and I will never buy another one of these again and my bed I got in 2017 so I know there's a 10-year

Worse mattress I have ever bought

after 1 night these mattresses(2 twin xl). the sagging of the mattresses under where we sleep was unbelievable and continues to get worse,. When elevating the head and feet to sit for reading or watching TV the sitting is like sitting on hard board with no cushion. My bones hurt! I called salesman and they sent out their inspection team and they are going to replace. I’m so concerned about this product and will I get the same outcome? Reading some reviews i see.sagging is a problem. I wish I had my old 25 year old-king Serta back. My husband and I are now having problems with aches and back pain. Wise purchase we ever made.

After 35 years, time to replace

We bought our Lady Englander mattress 35 years ago when we were married and never thought about replacing it. When we climb in we always talk about how comfortable it is. However, after 35 years it is definitely starting to sag a bit. But we have certainly gotten our money's worth. Looking to replace with something very similar.

GREAT mattress at a TOTAL STEAL

I cannot rave about this mattress enough -- very comfortable, non-toxic materials I can feel good about (and I am very picky about everything I buy in terms of toxicity), and what a total STEAL! I had been searching for mattresses for ages, and I could not find anything I wanted for a price I could afford until I came across this one. No off-gassing, but there is a very faint, not-at-all-unpleasant, earthy smell to it. And it was delivered very fast, way before the promised time frame. Lastly, the mattress was not nearly as uncomfortably hard/firm as some of the reviews indicated. I actually wish I had not bought the expensive latex topper I already purchased elsewhere, because it really doesn't even need it. I was a little nervous about buying a mattress online, but I am SO happy with this purchase.

Incredible Bed at an incredible price

My wife is a Naturopathic Doctor and understands the importance of a natural mattress and insisted we buy one for my daughter when we moved her out of her crib. I was hesitant since these are so expensive, but she explained that sleeping on a mattress that is not natural means that her face is pressed up against chemicals and toxic off-gassing for an entire night. This was a huge concern so we searched high and low for a high quality natural mattress that would also provide her with a good night's sleep. We went to a local store that specialized in organic mattresses and could not find anything that felt good (they felt flimsy) and they were all so expensive. I decided to search online to see if I could find something and luckily I found the Echo Mattress.

We purchased the single sided Echo Mattress for my little girl and we absolutely LOVE it. It is super clean, no smells at all, and very comfortable. It came packaged rolled up and was super easy to bring upstairs and unroll onto her bed.

Now when I read my little girl bedtime stories I end up staying in bed with her a bit longer than I need to so I can enjoy her comfortable bed. I was actually enjoying my little girl's mattress better than my own so we decided to buy a King Size double sided version of this mattress for my own bed.

This is an incredible bed an a wonderful price and the customer service in this place is amazing too!

Really REALLY firm. Took some time to adjust.

When I started waking up with back pain on my 8 year old Beautyrest mattress, I knew it was time to get a replacement. I wanted a 'natural' mattress that was free of flame-retardants and off-gassing chemicals, but most of them were way out of my price range. I found this one on Amazon and read all the reviews. Something to note: at the time of this writing, there are currently 18 reviews with an average 4 1/2 star rating. However, half of those reviewers specifically say that they purchased this mattress for a young child so they are not reviewing it from an adult's comfort perspective. I'm going to tell you right now, this mattress is firm. Very firm. Another reviewer likened it to sleeping on a bed of rocks, which is not far off. I would say it's more like sleeping on a carpeted floor. When I first started sleeping on it, I was very disappointed--it was so uncomfortable. I should add that I have a 2 inch latex topper AND a featherbed on top of it, and it's still ridiculously firm. However, after sleeping on it for seven weeks, I have gotten used to it. I am no longer waking up with back pain and I'm not breathing in toxic chemicals. Taking into consideration price, convenience (free ship/rolled up), and natural components, I would say that I am happy with the purchase. Just know that you're going to have to put some sort of topper on this mattress--I can't imagine any adult being able to sleep on this with no cushion.

good value for the quality

The mattress arrived quickly and in good condition. We did not have any problem with the firmness, and thought it was comfortable support. My problem was with the mattress fibers/ stuffing. We let it air out for a week before putting in on the bed. Although my spouse did not notice any smell, the mattress did give me a stuffy nose every time I laid in it for about a month, even after changing out the mattress pad and sheets. This finally went away after a few weeks and I am able to enjoy the mattress now.

Amazing value for your money!

We were looking for a healthy alternative to our other mattress that wouldn't break the bank and would be better on our backs. We had looked at other organic mattress that were 6 times this cost so when I found this one I was estatic. This mattress has far exceeded our expectations. It is so comfortable and we don't wake up in the morning with terrible neck and back pain. Some people have complained about how hard it is, however we never experienced that. I do enjoy sleeping on the ground from time to time as it helps my back feel better so I am used to firm sleeping spaces. At first, when you open it and unroll it or does have a strong wool smell but it's nothing obnoxious and it does go away in a couple days. We have been sleeping on this mattress now for a couple months and have felt the improvement and I love knowing there's no off gassing and I sleep easier. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a more budget friendly organic mattress!

Wanted to like it, but ultimately just uncomfortable even with toppers

I really, really wanted to like this mattress. We are very careful with the products we buy, to make sure everything is healthy and get the best for ourselves and our kids. I got this mattress in King for myself and husband, and 2 Twins for my kids. I knew it was going to be firm, but damn! It's just not comfortable. I wanted to like it, I really did- tried everything, spent more money on toppers than I ever imagined I would. I got a very fluffy lofty topper, it didn't help. I got a wool topper, still nothing. I had a firm before, but this mattress is TOO firm, I sleep on my side and have curves, it just puts pressure on my joints. Now I'm stuck and unhappy. The kids are light weight, and I got them toppers too for added comfort, but due to how they sleep- it seems to be ok for them. As for me, I'm wishing we didn't get rid of our memory foam mattress which was a lot more comfortable. We only got rid of it because we wanted to clear the house of toxins. I really, really miss that mattress. Can't afford another topper to try, or a new mattress at this time.

Three Stars

too firm for our taste

Like it but cant get rid of smell for month

Like it but cant get rid of smell for month. Waiting for summer to put it on a direct sun again

LOVE IT

What can I say, I LOVE this mattress ! It's firm without being hard.

AMAZING. This mattress came in a roll and so ...

AMAZING. This mattress came in a roll and so was really easy to maneuver onto the bed and then cut open. It is soo comfortable our daughter loves it.

I simply would not purchase another one like this.

I did not realize when I purchased this mattress that it is only 'one sided' but unfortunately it is and it is extremely hard. I simply would not purchase another one like this.

Sweet, non toxic dreams!!

I don't write reviews, but we bought this mattress for our daughter and she has slept so soundly on it! Knowing what we do about off gassing and what conventional mattresses do to our bodies, we knew we had to go with this company and ultimately this mattress! Thanks again for your stellar product!

Regarding Smell

I was a little concerned about all of the reports of the smell of the mattress. When we unpacked it I didn't smell anything but when I put my nose right against the mattress and inhaled I could smell a very tiny smell that my son said reminded him of Play doh. I think it's actually the smell of the plastic that the mattress came in. If I had not been looking for the smell I would not have noticed anything at all.

Seems like a safe and comfortable option

This was just delivered today so I will update later. The box was quite beat up, but the mattress inside was clean (wrapped in plastic). Upon opening and unrolling there was no chemical smell: one person said 'it smells like granola' and another person said 'it smells healthy'. Three adults (of very different sizes and weights) each lay down on it (separately lol) and each found it comfortable. It is medium firmness, not hard.

most comfortable bed in our house

most comfortable bed in our house. my father in law now kicks my son out of his bed when he visits

This is the most comfortable mattress I remember ever sleeping on

This is the most comfortable mattress I remember ever sleeping on. I was sure after reading previous reviews that I would need to purchase a topper to make it more comfortable, but I love it just the way it is. I sleep better than I have in years.

Great mattress

My spouse and I love this mattress. We've had it for about 5 months now and sleep very well on it. It's not too firm but firm enough that it won't give you back problems. It did smell a bit like wool or barn when we first got it but too the mattress' defense, I was in my first trimester of pregnancy so everything smelled to me. I aired it out in the sun for two days as the company advised and it really did help. I feel really good knowing that I sleep on a healthy mattress. I plan on buying another one.

Great mattress and excellent price!

We were looking for an organic mattress, and this one was an excellent price. That being the case, I was not expecting to find such high quality! I am very happy with this mattress! It is very firm, which I like because it has really helped my children's back issues to be sleeping on a firm mattress, yet it is still comfortable. It seems sturdy, well-made, and I have high hopes it will hold up well as my children grow up. It had no odors other than the cardboard and exterior packaging, arrived quickly and was packed all rolled-up- so it was very compact and relatively easy to transport, considering it is a mattress! I was so pleased with the purchase of the first mattress for my son that we have purchased a second for my littlest, who sleeps much better now that she is on this mattress, interestingly enough. I highly recommend this mattress and will be purchasing a third mattress after the baby on the way is big enough for a bed. Many thanks to the company for offering a quality product that is free from chemicals, well-made, and very reasonably priced.

Probably wouldn't buy again.

We purchased two of these mattresses in the twin size for our four year olds. They are not super comfortable but our children seem to like them. I probably wouldn't buy them again but time will tell how well they hold up.

Matress is firm

Matress comes rolled up and pops out like a roll of biscuits !!! Places a matress topper on it and it is money !!! Very happy with the purchase

Love it. I bought another after the first one ...

Love it. I bought another after the first one came in, very comfortable!

Five Stars

This mattress is better than I expected!

Chemical smell

t smells gross, with a really strong chemical smell that comes through the bedding even six months later. I am worried about having my child sleep on it and am considering throwing it out. I don't know what the smell is but it can't be anything good. I should have known that the price was too good to be true.

Great Mattress. Worth Every Penny

I needed a mattress that wouldn't make me swell up from all the chemicals on it. So many were expensive or didn't look very comfortable. I eventually took my chances on this one. I was concerned about the mention of smell because I am very sensitive to smells. I even called the company to ask if they could air the mattress out for a few days for me. I wasn't patient enough to wait the first time for them to answer because I needed a mattress soon but an unfortunate event turned into a fortunate result. When the bed arrived, FedEx had an accident with the package and the bed was no longer sealed inside the packaging. I called the company and sent them pictures. I called FedEx and they picked up the mattress. The mattress company remembered me and before getting the mattress back, they started airing a mattress out for the 3 days that other reviews mentioned. They sent the mattress to me before even getting the mattress back. BTW, the smell reminds me of Cheerios in case you wonder what it smells like. This mattress was just made right before it was sent to me so it is very understandable I could still smell a little of the materials. I have had it for less than a month and I sleep well. I don't wake up swollen. I am so happy about that. I have arthritis and I wake up stiff most of the time with the old mattress. I barely ever have problems with this new mattress. I got organic sheets too. The bed is firm, very firm. I like soft beds but the firmness doesn't bother me at all. The bed is wool and cotton. There isn't foam so there isn't much to make it fluffy but I figured if I had a problem, I would get a mattress topper. I don't need one though. I am quite comfy in this bed. This is a great mattress with great employees. I would highly recommend buying one.

The bed is perfect medium

The bed is perfect medium firm and very comfortable. It does not have any odors and delivery was fast. Highly recommend.

I switched to this mattress

I switched to this mattress after sleeping on a premium organic latex mattress from another company that cost nearly $3000 and sank terribly in the middle after only a handful of years of use. The Natural Escape feels extremely high-end in its materials and construction, and I adore the perfect medium-firm density. Such a reasonable price point for the unquestionable quality (not to mention the fab company philosophy!) I now own two�one for me and one for my toddler son.

Easy setup

Easy setup

Very comfortable without the sunk

Very comfortable without the sunk in feeling of memory foam, great edge support and I didn't feel hot like with some mattresses. Outstanding customer support that handled everything quickly and professionally.

This is the most comfortable

This is the most comfortable mattress I�ve ever owned! Customer service was very helpful and nice, and it didn�t smell at all when I unpacked it. Would highly recommend!

Great organic mattress

I’m chemically sensitive and have bought three of these mattresses in the last two years. I love them.

So far so good!

We’ve only been using it a week but I’m happy so far. My hip pain more or less went away after the first night!

Comfortable, natural mattress!

My family and I were in the market for a non-toxic mattress. We had been doing a lot of research because we have a new baby. We compared options and we came across Mygreen. We were skeptical about a mail ordered mattress. But, we have been pleasantly surprised by this wonderful mattress. It has a lower price point than other natural options. No adhesives. Non-toxic materials. It is very comfortable. It has very faint earthy smell to it. I will recommend this company to all of my mommy friends and family. We love it! Thank you for a healthy nights rest!!

Best mattress I have ever owned

This is the best mattress I have ever owned and has given me the best sleep of life over the past three years (and still going strong). My wife and I are about to buy our second for a guest room.

Love this mattress. I salute

Love this mattress. I salute with the middle of five, the other chemical bed mattress companies along with the satanic government agencies that mandate the use of chemical fire retardants. Because you never know when you might spontaneously combust into flames during your sleep. In any case, this mattress is amazing. And not being forced to sleep on cancer causing chemicals is well worth the price.

I researched organic mattresses for

I researched organic mattresses for weeks prior to purchase. My Green Mattress was the Best Buy based on price and comfort for combo sleepers like my husband and I. We also bought the topper for additional softness. We are very happy with purchase. Highly recommend.

Our whole family loves how

Our whole family loves how soft and firm this is, depending on your perspective! We even changed over from memory foam topping over our last bed, and found this mattress to be a downright good quality bed. I personally love the intention of the company and the �cleaner� product compared to other beds/companies! Would definitely buy again!

Nice mattress! We like that

Nice mattress! We like that the quality and safe materials this mattress is made of. There were no smells upon opening the box. The price isn�t cheap, but we are happy with the product. It is firm, but our backs feel good!

We've been sleeping on this

We've been sleeping on this mattress for a couple of weeks or so. My spouse says it's "fine", and a great improvement over our previous, worn-out foam pad. I've had serious back troubles all my adult life, and am utterly delighted with it so far. I was waking up every morning with a lot of back pain, all gone now. I really hope this mattress continues to work this well!

My husband and I absolutely

My husband and I absolutely love this mattress! We love how it feels but most importantly we love the quality of it. We sleep better just knowing it does not contain harmful materials and its all natural. Great costumer service and fast delivery. Worth every penny!

Huge fan of this mattress!

Huge fan of this mattress! Easy to put on my frame and fits perfectly! I love how comfy it is!
