Hi youngal32,
These are the factory direct and better retail outlets in the general area (within 100 miles).
www.bannermattress.com/ Toledo. Local factory direct manufacturer. They make a range of traditional, latex, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses.
www.furniturerow.com/locations/locationsByState.jsp?state=Ohio Toledo. Regional factory direct manufacturer. Makes a wide range of mattresses including two "mostly latex" models and memory foam and traditional mattresses. I would tend to focus on their own brands as they also carry some major brands.
www.originalmattress.com/ Marion. Regional factory direct manufacturer. They also make a wide range of mattresses that are mostly traditional but have 2 latex models and a high quality memory foam model as wel with good value.
www.downtoearthhome.com/ Farmington Hills, MI. A retail outlet that carries some high quality Dunlop Latex mattresses, latex/innerspring hybrids, as well as "no foam" mattresses and vegan models that have no fire retardent (not even wool) and are available with a prescription. Their prices are very reasonable (similar to factory directs) and when I talked with them I was very impressed so I'm including them here for those who may be a little further from Toledo or who may want to take the drive.
www.michigandiscountmattress.com/ Farmington Hills, MI. I have talked with Eric here and he carries several brands which may have some better value and includes latex and memory foam. These include Restonic, Nature's Sleep, Corsicana, and Symbol. He is committed to providing his customers with the best quality/value he can put on his floor and is "good people".
herronsfurniture.com/ Napoleon. Retail outlet that carries a large lineup of what appear to be higher quality mattresses that are "Amish made". I haven't talked with them so I can't speak to their value but for those who are close enough they would be well worth a phone call and possible a visit.
www.matt-to-go.com/ Shelby Township, MI. Retail outlet. Owned by Jeff Scheuer who is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry and has put together a series of videos that are widely used to help educate people about mattresses. Carries Therapedic brands made by a local licensee which typically uses higher quality materials in their mattresses. They don't carry any all latex but they do carry some good quality mattresses (some that include latex) with good value and he will certainly help educate his customers about the quality of what they are buying.
Hope this helps
Phoenix
