We Spare no Effort to Guarantee Your Comfort
Cashmere is known for it’s softness producing a luxury feel. It is rare and expensive because it only comes from the neck and belly hair of Cashmere goats that live 15000 feet above the sea level. These fibers are of an extremely fine diameter (less than 19 microns, comparatively a human hair is 60 - 120 microns) which is why cashmere feels so soft.
Cashmere has a high moisture content and as the humidity changes in the air so does its insulation, making it comfortable in all climates, even warm ones. The fibers have water repellent exteriors and the interior attracts water. This means that it attracts moisture, such as sweat, away from the body.
Cashmere is considered a luxury material and the best of all-natural fibers. This is not only because of how amazing it feels against the skin, but also because of the price. From Sunrising Bedding, you can enjoy your cashmere cover at an affordable price.

- Question
This replaces my $2,000 tube type waterbed. In this review I cover how it sleeps and why I bought it. I include details about this type and other types of mattresses available. I hope the time and information I learned will save you from the months I spent deciding which mattress is the best choice and at the best price.This is a pocket coil design with a topper of latex foam. I believe it is the best of all your choices (waterbed, foam and standard innerspring).If you are like me, you want the best sleep possible. Once that is settled, you want the best price you can get. My Sunrising pocket … see morecoil mattress is the result of my searching. If you want all the details, read on. If you want the "quick and dirty," just buy it. You will be a happy puppy and thank me.The bottom line is revealed by its weight. it weighs more than its competition because it has more and better springs than the rest. If that has you wondering, read my review.I took a bunch of pictures but my camera broke. If pictures are important, there are many in other reviews. Mine are about the same.ABOUT FIRMNESSThe reviews all give different opinions about firmness. After two weeks with it, I think the reason is because of its “pocket coil” design. Let me explain. The individual springs yield to the different parts of our body much better than other mattresses.In this design, the springs compress individually. The heavier parts of our body yield more, while still giving support to the smaller parts like our legs, waist and head. If this makes sense, you can see the result is a feeling of firmness, yet a subtle feeling of softness. I think that may explain the differing opinions. Also, the movements of your wife or husband, never bother you.Oh, one other thing about firmness. I learned it from our firm Beautyrest mattress. The Beautyrest replaced another soft waterbed so the transition was radical. We were advised to give it a month before making a decision. After two weeks we loved it. It will be the same with the Sunrising.Some will say it is not that firm while others feel it is quite firm. I hope this explains the differing opinions. That is about all I can say about firmness except I consider it to be on the firm side.NOW ABOUT COMFORTThe first night was fine; no odors and no discomfort. My nose is not the sensitive instrument my wife possesses. It passed her smell test, so it passes anything.Just like firmness is subjective, so is comfort. What I do is compare it to two of the other mattresses I’ve owned. The Sunrising replaced a $2,000 tube type waterbed. The other is my Beautyrest standard innerspring, firm.My rating is the Sunrising (one); the Beautyrest (two) and the waterbed (three).Now to explain my ranking.I have unusual body demands. I have two artificial hips, a minor, chronic back problem and my body temp rises when sleeping (so I sweat).? My opinion is that the Sunrising will present no problems with normal folks or people with unusual problems.Ok
This mattress is the least expensive mattress we’ve ever had. Ironically and amazingly, it’s also the BEST mattress we’ve ever had!? I can now sleep on my left side without pain; it’s great in any sleeping position.? My wife researched about different mattresses, mattress materials, production methods, and their pros and cons.? We decided to stay with an innerspring mattress.? And when she came across this bed, she knew immediately that this mattress was it because it’s expensively produced yet offered at such a remarkable price (for one thing, no middleman). However, she looked around for ano… see morether month, just in case.We pulled the trigger in May 2017. We decided to add only a 2" inch natural latex (rather than 3") to save $100 since this mattress already has 1 inch of natural latex at the top. We bought a medium firm latex (thought it would last longer) instead of soft recommended for people with back problems and side sleepers, but it’s been perfect for me. For optimal comfort, it’s a good idea to splurge and top it with 2" or 3" *natural* latex – it’s still a great value. If a person prefers a softer mattress, the best thing to do is add SOFT natural latex, rather than buying a cheap (or costly) soft mattress with thin coils and a cheap manufacturing processes that might suit them only at first. Also, I think some people may have tried sleeping with the mattress upside down, which would be too hard.
I’m not one to write reviews, my first. I felt compelled to because i love this mattress so much and I feel this company is spot on in the way they run their business.? They state facts and concentrate on putting out quality products. I’m hoping I’ll still feel this way years down the line. I’ve only had this for a month, but so far am very, very happy with it. It was exactly as i hoped it would be-firm, sturdy and quality made. It has been brutally hot and humid, here, in Hawai’i and I slept through it with no profuse sweats, which is a feat in itself. Fans help, yes, but i’ve slept on memory… see more foam with fans blasting and have woken up in pools of sweat!! There is no odor of any sort and i’m highly sensitive to synthetic scentsjust ask the poor fella who has to hear me sneeze and blow my nose all day when i catch a whiff of any synthetic scent. There’s no turbulence when my mate tosses and turns. Some people complain of it being too firm(I like firm) but i rather have it firmer and put a topper on or something. Soft for me just means it won’t go the distance. Having the right amount of springs(this mattress does) is crucial for support and longevity, in my opinion. Also, firmness is great for “amorous” activities, em.if anyone wondered:) I have absolutely no complaints about this mattress.? I bought two and will probably get another one. If this company continues to put out quality and earth friendly products at reasonable prices, I’d happily support them. I’ve recommended this mattress to a bunch of people already.? As a? matter of fact,? my neighbor bought one straight away, after I raved about how great the mattress is. I can totally be the spokesperson for this mattress!! That’s how well it has served me. But, like I said, I hope I will be saying this years down the line. That will be the true test.
I wanted to wait quite some time to see how this mattress would hold up before reviewing.What I was originally looking for was a coil mattress to replace my 9 y.o old pillow top, thinking I could buy a topper and be able to flip/turn it to prolong it’s lifespan. I was not aware that “hybrid” mattresses existed until then.About me: sadly an overweight female, post menopausal, post chemotherapy joint pain, hot in the summer, cold in Wisconsin winter, mostly a back sleeper, occasional side sleeper. Share my bed with with a Wire Haired Pointing Griffon and two Rottweilers.Other reviews state packa… see moreging/weight, which was helpful since I live alone. It is VERY heavy and bulky. I have a platform frame, no box spring. It opened up quickly with no funky chemical smell.I had purchased a three inch memory foam topper after reading the reviews, worried about pressure point pain. Topper was NOT needed!!! It was too soft, causing back pain. Once I ditched the topper, it was perfect for me. Firm support, with just enough cushioning.? The memory foam topper also created too much heat. Not a problem without it.Miscellaneous pros:No motion transfer from my large dogs.Sheets fit really well, no need for deep pockets. Heavier weight keeps deeper pocket sheets in place.No signs of wear/dipping from my larger frame. (I have turned it twice).Although it is heavy, it is very flexible for tucking the sheets in. Absolutely LOVE this mattress and highly recommend!!!
I am a 27 years old, 5’10” height and160 Ib. male who sleeps hot and prefers firm beds. I’m more of a side sleeper, and my last mattress kind of made me both side and stomach. This bed has been too good to me, and has me both on my back and sides. My last mattress was an old innerspring mattress with a 4 inch ‘cooling’ gel memory foam topper. I appreciated how firm it started, but through the night I would get hot, sink, get hotter, get sore, sweat, etc. It had gotten worse with lower back pain the last 4 years until I finally bit the bullet after a year+ of research on my next mattress. I hav… see moree compared this against all the more commonly seen internet mattress names like Casper, Ghost, Avocado, and Purple for their respective cooling properties. Ultimately through researching and reading reviews, I landed on this. With the 8″ sunrising, the latex foam layer is short and you only notice it because the opposite of the mattress is straight up ontop of the pocket coil springs. Laying flat on this mattress I could practically feel my blood flowing evenly and pain dissipating from my lower back. It’s been near a month now and I’m just loving this. It’s such a luxury to not wake up in a pool of sweat and lower back pain. This is a firm mattress with a just-soft-enough topper. I wish I could compare with the 10″, but I’m still very happy. The sidewall support seems perfect, bedtime activities are no problem, I don’t notice my partner moving around in bed. Sometimes I have nightmares of waking up in this bed with its springs collapsing, due to all the warnings I got from people who say you can’t get a good mattress under $1000. Don’t listen to them. This is it. They’re all wrong. I’m right. Just check out the other reviewers on this. Check out their website and transparency on costs and profits.
All things considered, this is the best mattress I can get for less than $500.I bought this mattress six months ago but decided to hold up my review until now, just to be sure that whatever the manufacturer of the mattress claim on the product description and reviews from other buyers is indeed true. So, my trial period has elapsed and I can precisely give an honest review of this product.I have tried at least six brands of mattresses before then but had not found one that meets my personal needs. However, I was not going to give up, and so I decided to buy the 8-inch hybrid natural latex matt… see moreress from Sunrising Bedding at Amazon.com, although I had so much anxiety purchasing a mattress online. This one was tagged with a price that would not drill holes in my pocket if I did not like it. Besides that, there was that assurance that I will be refunded, if at all, the product falls below my expectation during the 120-day trial period.Upon placing the order, the mattress was at my doorstep, faster than I had expected. Unfortunately, since I had just moved into a new house, my bedroom, which was in the upstairs, was not complete yet as there was few fixing going on. It was supposed to be ready in a couple of weeks. Therefore, I had to drag the box in the store to wait for the official opening of my bedroom!Opening the packageTwo weeks down the line, my bedroom is ready. Initially, I was worried that this mattress would have permanent folding issues because it remained like that, two weeks after delivery. It is now time to unbox the package and try it out. As said by other reviewers of this product, it comes with heavy and large box, perhaps to keep it safe during delivery. Upon opening the box, it expanded very quickly, and in a couple of minutes, it was eight inches high. Contrary to my imagination, there were no deformities or deficiencies arising from keeping the mattress in the package for several weeks and no chemical smell. When I unfolded it, it was upside down, and I immediately flipped it up. This would be much easier if we were two people, and honestly, it was not too much of a struggle to me, but enough to mention it here.ComfortThe mattress may not be as soft as I had anticipated, but it feels supportive and comfortable. My back and shoulders are now not as stiff as they have been several months ago. Nowadays, I no longer wake up with some parts of my body numbed. It is good news that my lower back, which has been painful and tight for years, is getting better after changing to this product.FirmnessWhile this mattress is no doubt comfortable, I was also concerned about its firmness. When reading reviews of previous buyers, I was somewhat left in limbo because very few people talked about the firmness of the product, yet it was what I care about most. Nonetheless, I choose to buy it despite the limited info and confirm the said characteristic by my own, perhaps within the 120-days trial period. Although firmness may be subjective, I can say the Sunrising Bedding mattress yielded to my body as a unit. The uniformly suspended springs each yield in a unique way, so it does not matter whether I sleep on my back, side, or stomach. As I was sitting on the edges, I realized that the support I am getting is sufficient, and so the mattress provides the kind of firmness I was looking for.PricingI was looking for a mattress brand that could meet my health needs regardless of the price. Before getting this product on Amazon, I had placed an order for another brand that was going for $800. I canceled it. Most of the pricy mattresses in most online selling platforms are typically memory foam. I tried two of the best brands and I kept them for too long hoping to feel better but it never happened (I believe it was the toxic chemicals they use to make them fire resistan/retardant). I have tried them before, but after reading several reviews of innersprings, I choose to give it a try. Therefore, when I found this latex hybrid mattress that is designed with an outer foam layer and inner spring for a price less than $400, I delved into its reviews and made a decision to buy it.I have been using this mattress for six months now, and I can say it is a worthy investment. Of course, it took some time getting used to the innerspring hybrid mattress, but I have got used to it now. Overall, I am indebted to this purchase and would not hesitate to recommend others to consider buying and trying it out.
Shopping for a new mattress can be a harrowing, painful and unpleasant experience. With a variety of options to pick from, pricing that varies from low to the absurd of a new car, and salesperson conniving enough to sell you an unwanted product, it’s no wonder that this purchase can become so difficult. Choosing a mattress will depend on a variety of factors to consider such as price, comfort, durability, needs, and preferences. Using this criteria I applied when I went out shopping, I finally arrived at one provided to me by Sunrising Bedding.The first thing that drew my attention to it was i… see morets price. It was retailing at about three hundred and ninety-eight dollars which is very cheap compared to mainstream retailers where one would go around for about one thousand five hundred dollars.Secondly was the reviews that it had received online which portrayed that ninety-seven percent of users of the said item had recommended to their fellow colleagues to purchase it. Other potential consumers have been skeptical like I was since there’s the analogy that goes without saying if something is cheap, it is therefore of poor quality. In addition to that, it came with a hundred and twenty days free trial period so as to assess the comfort of it all. Therefore, I purchased one and after some considerable use of it, I came to be satisfied. This is because of some of the features that had been applied when it was being manufactured.It is a California king size that comprises of both latex and innerspring.The spring coil and layered latex ensure that it is suitable for all ages. This means that one does not have restrictions when purchasing it for a child. It is very comfortable should you decide to lay on your side or on your back; there are no backaches experienced. The mattress cover comprises of cashmere which is very smooth like silk and is able to regulate the temperature as it is very cool. It is also a testament to luxury. The layer of the cushion is made from high-grade Talalay that alleviates the inflexibility of the springs. This enhances it for you to appreciate the aforementioned that has contouring, bounce, and firmness.Talalay latex is one hundred percent nature made and worthy of both the earth and you. This mattress layer is enclosed in the latex that it encompasses. The coils found within it are firm enough to support one’s weight without causing undue drooping for ten years. Those coils are secluded are not aligned together so that spouses cannot wake each other in the event that either of you is fidgeting. Beneath it, there is a quality cushion layer prepared with superior latex.It is derived from plantations located in Thailand and contains various characteristics that will augment your sleeping patterns which are firm but comfortable. Both layers combine to deliver a double effect of the materials: it’s firmness and bounce as well as it’s comfort and contouring because it is made using the best procedures. Talalay latex is consistent and has a density that can be compared to the Dunlop latex, so there isn’t any possibility of finding lumps whatsoever. Latex supports the body and discharges pressure within the body in conjunction and harmony with the layer that delivers back support.The pliability permits it to rapidly adjust to the state of our body as you adjust yourself while you sleep. Latex assists one to rest cool because it is naturally occurring and contains air pockets that aid in conducting heat away. Hence, it is healthy for you and the planet.To sum it up all, since it is derived from nature, it is healthy for both the environment and oneself. Its antiseptic qualities are crucial in that they prevent mites, germs, and various allergies from invading your mattress and breeding communicable diseases. All in all, compared with the previous mattress that left me with chronic backaches that had to be addressed by a doctor, I can without a doubt say that am enjoying its features. I will be looking out for more improvements so that I can enhance my experiences and more so share the joy that it provides me to my family and friends.
Some people love their sofas and others are in love with their kitchens. For me, nothing is more important than my bed. Is pend all my best times in there whether it is with my partner watching our favourite TV shows or just rolling around on my own enjoying my lazy mornings off. This means I need to ensure that my little kingdom is the best it can be;it need to be hard working, durable and most importantly super comfortable!I am very particular with my mattress. It is the part of the bed that makes the biggest difference for me. It needs to tick all my boxes and this mattress has done just th… see moreat. This Latex Innerspring Hybrid Mattress from Sunrising bedding does it all when it comes to comfort. The encased springs are barely noticeable and provide a support for the whole body that I have rarely found in other spring mattresses, at no point are you aware that springs are inside the mattress and it instead feels like floating on air. The weight and support is distributed evenly throughout and I have experienced absolutely no sagging in the middle or uneven support. When spending a whole lazy day in bed with TV, snacks and a good book, comfort is very important. I have often found that I can become uncomfortable if the springs start to dig or the surface of the mattress isn’t up to scratch but this has never been the case with the Sunrising Bedding innerspring mattress.My partner and I have had the deepest sleeps of our lives on this, it doesn’t smother the way I have found a lot of foam mattresses in the past have done and instead allows the body to stay at a perfect temperature and be able to breathe. In the past I used to buy foam mattresses as I found them slightly harder than the spring variety which is something I enjoy. It changed when I decided to go for this one. Sleeping is of course the most important part of a beds purpose and with this it becomes the easiest thing in the world. I need to be able to roll around when I sleep; I like to switch position a lot, which is why I go for a mattress that will allow a lot of movement. Previously foam was the answer because it provides support in any position but now this is the one for me. The springs respond instantly to any movement, cushioning and supporting wherever it is needed. This is finished off with a beautiful latex topper and cashmere cover to provide that extra bit of pressure relief that makes it ideal for the twitchy sleeper.Obviously, being a big bed person, keeping my little piece of heaven clean and tidy is very important. I can’t stand it when I have dirty bed sheets, crumbs in the bed or a mattress that smells bad. In the past I have had beds that soak up any smell in the room and even the house and hold onto them. There is nothing worse than trying to fall asleep and being able to smell what you had for dinner that day or the smell of the dog or even that the mattress is starting to age. It keeps me awake like nothing else.With this wonderful mattress, a simple change of sheets makes it smell and feel just like it did when it was first delivered. I can climb into bed after a shower and feel like the cleanest person in the whole world. Nothing beats the clean body, clean bed feeling for me!I have had this mattress for some time now,and as I have mentioned over and over again, I use my bed quite thoroughly. Where other types of this product have started to sag, dip or age badly this one has stood the test of time. I can’t feel any noticeable wear to the springs where others have started to dig in places of high use. There is no noticeable dip in the middle where I like to lay and it hasn’t started to sag beneath its original level, it is just as comfy as when I first bought it. The cashmere cover has held its softness along with the latex amazingly, sometimes when I change my sheets I like to just lie on top of the mattress alone and enjoy its softness. I would certainly recommend this to anyone, young or old!
Three years is long enough time to use a single mattress.The level of comfort reduces substantially and you start feeling a little too hot whenever you sleep in it. You get to a point when you start thinking of replacing it with a new one. This is what happened to me. The biggest problem to me was the cumbersome process I had to pass through if I was to get a replacement. It meant I had to fully go through the steps of buying a mattress, which I really loathed. So, for a long time, I did nothing about it, until my roommate deemed it necessary that we had to do something.I had been using … see morea spring mattress previously. In my search for the replacement, I was looking for the same kind. Along the way, I started realizing that another great choice would be a latex mattress. The most outstanding features of latex that captured my attention were the great feel and the bounce it had. However, my biggest worry was the cost. I thought it would not fit in my budget. To my surprise, it was just as pocket-friendly.I was caught up in a dilemma, whether to buy the traditional spring mattress or pounce on our new discovery, the latex. The only thing I was sure of was that I had to buy a new mattress. As I continued pondering, I bumped on Sunrising 8-inch hybrid mattress. It was a perfect combination of latex and spring. I went ahead to place an order for our new discovery.It was shipped in a box. Thanks for my roommate’s help,we move it to living room.On opening the box, we discovered that it was rolled nicely and beautifully sealed in an evacuated plastic. I was extremely eager to finally get the feel of this quality new hybrid mattress. So, we immediately cut the plastic sealing. We observed it instantly start to expand as we placed it on the bed. Then, we gave it time to expand to its full size and shape. After 8 hours, it had fully attained its proper size. It was awesome, with no strong chemical smells.The only worry I had was that it felt a little too firm when I first sat on it. This fear was dispelled when I got up the next morning. It had a perfect combination of softness and firmness. The feeling is just great. As a matter of fact, it has hugely reduced the waist and back pains I’ve always had. My roommate loves it too. he says he’ll consider to buy one.I’ve now slept on it for a few weeks and I still love it. it is cool and relieves me greatly. The Sunrising 8-inch costs only $315 which is very pocket-friendly. Could not be anymore happier with the product! If you are interested in a spring mattress, look no further. It is the best you’ll get in the market today.
I came across this listing by accident while researching/shopping for a new mattress for my son, and I’m so glad I did!? I had read the best route to go with a new mattress was to get a good, firm innerspring and a quality topper that can be changed out as needed, as opposed to a mattress with a lot of built-in cushioning that will just break down.? This really fits the bill!? In fact, I’m shocked that such a nice product is available in a bed-in-a-box format through Amazon.? Very sturdy, pocketed coil springs, a nice layer of latex, and a gorgeous, soft cashmere cover (hated to have to cover … see moreit up with a topper).? I was REALLY skeptical buying an innerspring rolled into a box, but they clearly use a lot of care in packaging- the springs appear to be completely compressed before rolling so no distortion occurs.? I opened it on the deck in case of off-gassing, but the latex odor was minimal compared to memory foam and was gone within 24 hours.? I will say this:? this is a firm mattress and likely not for everyone if used on its own.? I am 220 lbs, my husband is 165, and my son is probably 120, and we all experienced it as very firm, but with varying feelings about the comfort.? I could not feel the springs through the latex layer, but I did sleep on it without a topper and my hip & shoulder took a beating when sleeping on my side.? With the 2″,? 3.5 lb density memory foam topper I got for it (really wanted to stick with latex but was afraid of it being too firm and plus it’s quite expensive), it was just about perfect for any position.? I plan on getting a queen soon for my husband and me to replace an awful memory foam bed we recently purchased that I have since discovered has fiberglass in it as a fire-retardant.? This Sunrising mattress had made me appreciate the value of natural, quality materials!? One last note, their customer service dept. followed up the sale to make sure there were no issues and we were happy.? Very impressed with the mattress and the company- thank you!? Will try to remember to update after some time has passed.
