I bought my first Shifman Mattress...

I bought my first Shifman Mattress in Bloomdales in 2001. It lasted me over ten years and was only tossed out due to the impossibility of getting such a heavy, well-made mattress down my third floor tenement stairs. I switched brands to my regret and have never gotten the good night's sleep I had with my Shifman. I can't even turn the mattress over because it is a one-sided mattress, something I was unaware of. When this one bites the dust, I'm returning to Shifman. It is a costly product and worth every cent.

I am extremely disappointed...

I am extremely disappointed with the performance of our Shifman mattress but even more disappointed with their customer service. We purchased a king pillow top mattress 20 months ago. Within a few months, large depressions began to form on each side of the bed. I called the store and was told to turn it more frequently than the once per month recommended by the manufacturer. I followed instructions and the depressions worsened. It felt as if we were sleeping in a trough with hills on either side! I contacted Shifman and received no response. I then contacted the store where we purchased the bed. They sent out a representative as well as the Shifman rep. The Shifman rep told us this was normal and we should turn the bed 90 degrees and sleep on the short axis for a month or so until the middle of the bed compresses. He never touched the bed or took any measurements to judge the depth of the depressions. Bottom line.....they will do nothing to correct the situation. Shifman has a 10 year non-prorated warranty but, clearly, they don't stand by their product. My only hope, at this point, is that the furniture store has a higher ethical standard and will make this right. Lesson learned- price is not a predictor of quality.

$4,500 for a queen size mattress and foundation...

$4,500 for a queen size mattress and foundation and a back ache every morning! When I called their customer service, the response was (1) it was my fault because the mattress had not gotten used to me yet (after five months?) and (2) what do you want us to do about it? Then, she hung up. A second call was even worse. Someone who said she was Eileen screamed when I protested about the first call and said 'I can put you on hold' before hanging up. The crudest, rudest people I have ever encountered in business. Needless to say, their creation is out of my house, and none will ever return.

Shifman Mattress

A good nights sleep is of utmost importance! I've bought Shifman mattresses in the past and although they are bit pricey, they are top quality, comfortable and well worth the cost...you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend Shifman Mattresses!!!!

Most comfortable bed

We have been had 5 different beds in 16 years. This is the first bed that is so comfortable and supportive that we are getting the best sleep we ever had.

I'm awake

I'm awake bc a "fell in a slope" in my 4 month mattress. Stickley stands by there low quality product. Maybe Shifman Mattresses does too....

Wow Shifman Mattresses

Wow Shifman Mattresses Your refusal to uphold the warranty of your product is quite disappointing. For a product that is so expensive and allegedly so high quality I would expect more from the manufacturer!

Had my first night's sleep

Had my first night's sleep on my new Shifman.. It was incredible! Thanks to the amazing artisans!

Well made but too heavy

I was tired of low quality mattresses and wanted a mattress that could be turned. Research led me to Shifman. The problem is it is too heavy to turnover. Even when my son helps me it is too heavy. Whats the point of having a two sided mattress if its not realistic to turn it. Big grooves develope even when you rotate it. I gave 3 stars because its made relatively well but for the money spent I'll just get a regular new mattress every 5 years.

pillowtop are terrible

went thru 3 of their mattresses all of which bellied within months and had to be replaced. Now on a fourth non pillowtop which may be doing the same thing. had previously owned shifman for years with outstanding performance but they seem to have changed their design to allow the mattress to bend for mechanical beds. we’ll see haw the “tradition” model holds up.

Not what I hoped for

I bought these over 2 months now, and I feel like I’m still sleeping on my old mattresses. It’s unreal how they’ve already sunk in.

Does Not Hold Up

We were looking for a firm mattress and looked at everything in the store. Although the price was high, this one seemed to meet our needs the best. Six months after owning it, we started to have back issues. Now it's a year old and the mattress feels like we are sleeping on a pile of lumpy mashed potatoes. Do not buy.

Best of the Best

I had my first Shifman mattress at about the age of 5. It lasted through my youth and was finally inherited by my oldest children 20 years later and lasted until we moved the family in 1996. I still have a Shifman queen and box Spring I purchased at Bloomingdales and is lasting me up to twenty years and is still in good shape. Nothing I have erer had has lasted this long. They must be doing something good. I have other matresses at home (all hand made) that appear as good, but I have no hesitation paying the price and getting another Shifman mattress in the future

10 years strong

I have been shopping on line for 2 mattress sets one for daughter and one for son, wife and I. 160 lbs and lets say she is 150 lbs. we have had the SAPPHIRE matress for 10 years , we do rotate it and once a year flip, there are NO sags the edges are firm and like the day we brought it home , this is a use quality old fashioned made REAL product .I am surprised how well it is for its age .Its still comfortable and plush every night I lay down I am thankful that I paid a little bit more but not a very quality product thanks to the 13 gauge inner springs

Terrible Mattress and Terrible Customer Service

We bought a high end luxury Shifman mattress and it ended up sagging on both sides of the bed and both sides of the mattress with in a year of owning it. The company rep and the store owner came out to "inspect" our mattress and determined it wasn't "bad" enough. They refused to uphold their warranty and they will not work with us on any level. We just lost a lot of money and got a horrible sleeping experience. Do NOT buy a Shifman Mattress.

Worst mattress and service EVER

Upon purchasing my Shiffman Mattress (5/2021) I followed the directions about flipping it EVERY month for the first 6 months. Because of the the flipping and turning you never really get to "feel" the comfort of the mattress. After about 2 months (total = 8) of trying to sleep on it I decided to call the company to see what is wrong with it. When you lay on the mattress you can actually feel the springs in your back. I called the place I bought it from and within two days I received a call from "Joe" their service man, who said he is going on vacation and will call me to set up an appointment when he returns. He never called. In February I called and complained. In March I sent a complaint letter. Joe called and showed up with another man. He laid on the mattress and couldn't feel anything. I asked him how much does he wiegh? He said 150 lbs. I weigh 200 lbs. He is wearing jeans etc. I sleep in my underwear. The other man said he weighs 230 lbs. and he laid on it. He said he does feel "something". Joe mumbled something about it being a customer feeling. He said he would write his report and I would get a copy. THAT was 5 months ago. I have a name for their mattress. Replace the "f's" with T's

Don't Buy a Shifman Mattress

The Hotel Classic queen-sized mattress I purchased June 28, 2021, retailing for $5,200.00 from Macy's, was set up according to instructions, routinely flipped and turned. Within 24 months a deep valley developed in its center; now back pain greets me every morning. The 30-year old mattress it replaced slept better. Note Shifman's many warranty exclusions, which make me doubt a legitimate warranty exists. I agree with the reviewer who said that the "f" in their name should be changed to "t".

My hips don't ache anymore!

We had a very firm serta icomfort that hurt my hips. I'm a side sleeper. Last year we added one of the latex toppers. That helped, but not enough. We recently got a medium mattress and are using it with the topper. It has been great!

very good service and product

The firm is fit for us. I am pregnant, this one helps a lot

So far so good!

It’s a great mattress though mine only is about 8” since the wool and cotton has not yet full expanded. I have great sleep at night, no aches or pains.

new home furnishings

We have ordered 3 queen size beds for our new home. Not only do we love the mattresses or guests do too! We also ordered 4 deluxe pillows, which we are not as happy with. They are too thick which make them uncomfortable.

comfy mattress

We purchased the firm latex mattress. It is very firm, but we are comfortable on it. As has been mentioned in other reviews, there is a smell to the mattress. It is going away over time, but some people might find it objectionable. It is also a heavy mattress.

Best mattress I've owned

Stands up to all the claims made by it's inventor ! Better more relaxing sleep than on any other mattress, hands down. Also, the price is reasonable and the Customer Service is fantastic. !!

Pleased...

In an attempt to remedy chronic back discomfort & having more preference towards firmer sleeping surfaces... I initially purchased a medium 3" topper to firm up a pillow top mattress. When I received it, found that I would've preferred the firm topper as the medium didnt do much. With plans of returning the topper, I decided to go ahead and pu...Read Morerchase a latex mattress, choosing the 7" firm. Interium I slept on the topper placed on a carpeted floor. Those few nights were THE BEST sleeps I had in a long while. Firm enough for me to feel the support of the floor, yet cradled enough by the topper that it wasnt too hard. Also noticed that I didnt wake up with my normal morning stiffness from the pillow top mattress. Shipping for mattress was just as quick as the topper. Upon opening there was a farm animal smell mixed with latex, which was strong enough to be off putting to me. I also noticed sagging in the middle of the mattress once it was laid onto my platform bed. I phoned the company & the customer rep assured me that it would take a few days to a week for the mattress to full expand to its capacity; and if it didn't, they would ship a new mattress. I found the firm to be TOO firm(I'm a side sleeper) & bouncy, so I put medium topper over it. I felt like Goldilocks, it was just right!! Even masking the zoo smell from the mattress. Now having slept on the mattress & topper for nearly 2 weeks, I have to say that I am getting some of the best nights sleeps ever!! Even my housemate commented how comfortable it is to lay on. So I wont be returning the topper, happy to know that if I go thru a phase of needing more firmness, I can always remove it. Oh, I also noticed that the animal smell as calmed down a lot, needing to place my nose close to mattress to detect. I do wish the mattress had handles. I am very happy with my investment, 3 stars for now, will return after 6 months with an update; as only time will tell how well they both hold up from use. Read Less

Solid, way to firm. Will probably return.

Simply the Best!

Best mattress my wife and I slept on in years. Everyone needs one!

Happy with my purchase

I recently bought a 9 inch Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress and am very happy with it. I wanted to avoid the off-gassing of memory foam so I was specifically looking for a latex mattress.

Pleasantly surprised

Read a lot of reviews and did a lot of Reddit’ing and couldn’t be happier

Super comfortable

This is the best mattress i have ever owned. Its supports my body well and is comfortable too! It is very heavy to move tho.

Excellent quality but heavier than expected

I got the firm version of this mattress, and it’s great for back sleepers (maybe a little too firm for side sleepers). I’m not giving it five stars because I don’t recall being warned anywhere that the queen size mattress weighs 150 lbs. I’ve since learned that latex is heavy, and I think it’s great for some people. If you’re not on the first floo...Read Morer, you may want to request “white glove” service. Even in the box it took two strong men and me to get it upstairs. I decided to return it, and I’d get the regular instead of the firm if I did it again. I’m opting for a lighter mattress. They offered to let me donate it, but since it’s so heavy I asked that they pick it up. They’re sending people who will carry it back downstairs for me, and they were extremely pleasant and understanding about the return. They’re definitely a quality operation, and I’m sorry it didn’t work out for me. Read Less

Great Value and High Quality

The Pure Green is really well constructed from materials that feel durable, especially the primary material, which is a huge slab of latex. I much prefer the feeling of the latex mattress to memory foam, and I like that it's cooler than foam mattresses. Highly recommended.

Fantastic mattress!

I bought the medium firmness king size mattress and it is the perfect firmness for me. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase.

Unsure about this matress

I really, really loved this mattress for the first few weeks...it felt amazing compared to my old bed. Now that I've had it for about 8 months, I'm less sure. I bought the medium firm mattress, 9 inches thick. I waffled between firm and medium, and ultimately chose medium after talking to an employee, because I often sleep on my side and some...Read Moretimes sleep on my back and that was the recommendation. It seems like it has already lost a little bit of it's firmness, which I thought was not supposed to happen. After about 3-4 months I started really wishing I had chosen firm. Hopefully it doesn't soften further. Some Pros: The price! I could not have afforded most of the other brands of natural latex mattresses out there. Also, more comfortable than many other conventional matresses. Another issue is the mattress itself is a little (1-4 inches) narrower and shorter than advertised, than a typical full size bed. Maybe factor the thick wool cover into the advertised mattress dimensions, which seems misleading. I know it's just a few inches but it felt noticably narrower to me than my conventional full mattress. Overall, I'm still undecided. I'm happy to have been able to afford a more eco-friendly and healthy mattress. I wonder if I expected too much, comfort-wise. Since I did love it at first, I would kind of like to try the firmer mattress instead...but am worried I'll just be disappointed again. Read Less

Medium

This mattress is great, we got a medium firmness because so many people said the medium was really firm. I disagree, I think the medium is appropriately categorized and thus we are returning for a firm. It’s super comfy but we have an infant and need a firmer sleep surface. Company is quick to respond and great to work with!

SleepOnLatex is Top Dog

Fantastic mattress! I was very apprehensive about purchasing a mattress online but so happy now that I went with SleepOnLatex. Delivery was straight forward, the unwrapping and installation process was uneventful. The even and comfortable support from the mattress was superb. I told my wife that I felt like I was floating!
