Dormeuse

A very comfortable and laid-back shopping experience. You have all the time you need to try out and lounge on a variety of Essentia mattresses without sales pressure. I ended up buying the Dormeuse. It took a few weeks for the body to fully adjust and it is by far the most comfortable mattress I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Temperature wise the mattress tends to run a little warm so I got special heat reflecting mattress pad and sheets that work very well.

We purchased two Dormeuse by telephone. Customer service was outstanding. The beds are very comfortable and the best part is not having to smell the toxic fumes that other memory foam beds produce. I have recommended Essentia to friends and family.

Get your marketing out there! Let everyone know about your beds. I wish all my friends and family had one. My children would be healthier, my sister would be nicer, my neighbor would be happier, etc. If people sleep better, they work and play and love better = peace in the world.. I cant believe how much more beautiful my body, hips, shoulders, neck, ankles feel after sleeping on my dourmousse for about 4 months now. Even IF you have lame customer service, the bed would make up for it. But that was not true, all of the people i met were kind, imformative, sincere and not to pushy. I love my bed. Thank you and my dreams do too. Consumer reports did a rating on mattresses this month and I was disappointed you were not on the list. My only problem now is, I have to cancel my vacation away from home because I cant bring my bed with me. You can edit or post any part of this review. thank you.

After enjoying our Dormouse for 2 years I decided to write my first review ever to help others who are trying to decide on a mattress. Two years ago, I spent hours researching and reading reviews and decided on a Tempurpedic. We had that for a month and the odors were terrible and the side of my body that was touching the mattress got sweaty, even though I had never been a sweaty sleeper before. To its credit, the back pain I had been experiencing had disappeared. Thankfully my husband and I were able to return the mattress and I ordered the Dormouse from Essentia.

Right from the start it was comfortable, I continued to be free of back pain, there was little to no odor (any odor it had did not have that carcinogenic smell), and no sweaty side touching the mattress. The first week it felt a little firmer than I imagined, but definately still comfortable. After a month it was just right and I was so glad to have found the perfect mattress. After 1 year I thought it was getting softer and I was concerned that it would continue softening until it was too soft. However at 2 years time it still feels just right and I no longer have that concern. It is just so comfortable. There is a little high/firm spot in the middle between where my husband and I usually sleep (I guess we are not very cuddly sleepers), but it does not show when the bed is made nor is it visible with the eye. High/firm means that it feels higher when I lay on it but it is really just a firmer place that hasn't been slept on much. I sleep on the high/firm spot when my husband travels for work. This mattress is still extremely comfortable. In a traditional mattress that I had before the Temurpedic I had a divit in the mattress where I always slept and the springs no longer supported me so I had back pain all the time. This bed is nothing like that. The spot I usually sleep is still supportive and comfortable and I still have no back pain.

After two years time I am still happy to have this mattress and believe we will have it a long time. I no longer notice any softening; it has been holding at a steady comfort. And when our children climb in bed for a snuggle they say it is the most comfortable bed ever(they still have springs). When it is time to replace their mattresses, I will buy the Dormouse again. It is such a comfort to know that there are not harmful chemicals and fire retardants that are in Essentia's mattresses.

Thank you Essentia for making a luxurious, healthy mattress!

Other thoughts to share:
1. Ask for their off-white cover instead of the striped cover which shows under my sheets. If you order it later it is expensive, but if they assemble it with the ivory cover at the beginning there is no charge.
2. Do not use a mattress pad, it is more comfortable that way. You can wash the cover if needed.
3. My husband built the wood frame to put the mattress on. That was lots of fun for him to make a piece of furniture for our house and it was fine for me because it doesn't show. The people at essentia helped us figure out how to build it.
4. Do not order their box springs, they were not very good. Build your own.

Worth it. The Dormeuse is definitely easier on my injured back- I can sleep more comfortably in more positions. The notion that it is less toxic to me and more ecologically benign than the alternatives also helps me sleep at night. So glad this was an option, thank you!

My family has been absolutely thrilled with our purchase of 4 Essentia mattresses. It is such a piece of mind for me to know that my daughters are sleeping on the most healthy alernative in mattresses with no off gassing and harmful chemicals. My husband and I have struggle for years trying to find the comfort we need as we have both suffered from waking up stiff and sore. I feel like a new woman since my Dormeuse arrived! It is by far the most comfortable sleep I have had in years and I have not suffered from a sore back since it arrived! Thank you Essentia!

I have an Essentia Dormeuse, owned since August 2010. Each and every night I lay my body down, breathe deeply, feel my body sink, wrapped by the magic cloud layer sensations. My spinal muscles all release, ...and, well, by then I'm asleep. End of story.

We love our Dormeuse. Its been a year since we replaced our earlier memory foam mattress with the Essentia Dormeuse King and we still talk about it as one of the best purchases we made.

When I lay down on my Dormeuse I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud - no pressure points anywhere - fantastic!

Buying an Essentia mattress is probably the best purchase we have made in the past 10 years! No more flipping from side to side -- Essentia's technology makes you feel like you are floating on a cushion of air -- no more pressure points. We are also thrilled that our Essentia mattress was not made with any toxic glues or other hazardous chemicals. An Essentia mattress should be essential for anyone looking to wake up energized and start their day off right.

We bought the Unity and my side is the Dormeuse. This mattress is for our boat as we are traveling until our young son enters school. I love my bed so much I look forward to going to sleep every night. I now take my tea in the morning and go back to bed with my laptop and start working there because it just feels so good (I know you're not supposed to do that). We bought organic cotton sheets from www.rawganique.com and both a wool pillow and a down pillow. The wool for propping up and the down for sleep. This whole system is perfection and we are bed snobs. We have a Hastens at home and this combination is just as good and 1/3 of the price. We were extra picky about materials as (like it or not) our son ends up in bed with us every night. He has Nook for his crib but we will be getting Dormeuse for him as soon as he moves to his 'big boy' bed. We were not aware of this company when we bought his mattress. It would have been a tough call. There you have it, a long winded review from a mattress snob. We LOVE our bed. Thank you so much!

After just a couple weeks of sleeping on the Dormeuse, my lower back pain permanently disappeared. This was a chronic pain I had for twenty years that had originated from a motor vehicle accident. One day I was standing, looking out the window and realized that something was missing. The pain was gone and I was no longer standing with my hands supporting my lower back. Ordering this mattress without trying it out first felt a little risky but I have never regretted this purchase. It is one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. I also love the fact that it's not a toxic chemical filled mattress and the fabric cover, which I seem to recall is organic cotton, is very stylish. I highly recommend this mattress to anyone that is suffering with chronic muscle pain. Imagine being naturally pain-free. You can't truly believe it until you try it. If I was endlessly wealthy, I'd buy this mattress for all my friends.
