E.C.O. Mattress Ratings
The ECO mattress report below is based on over 100 owner reviews and experiences. The data was gathered using an unbiased, accurate methodology.
| Owner satisfaction | good | ECO has 85% owner satisfaction which is higher than owner satisfaction for latex mattresses as a group (78%). Both the 8" and 10" models have similar satisfaction ratings. |
| Durability / longevity | fair | Long-term owner experience data concerning longevity is somewhat lacking, but buyers should probably expect no-better-than-average durability, which means around a five year lifespan. |
| Price | good | The price for a queen is $600 or $675 depending on thickness. The main strength of the ECO mattress is value or "bang for the buck," according to owner data. The low cost, however, is due mainly to the fact that the mattress uses a relatively small amount of latex -- just two inches. |
| Less pain | good | At least 15% of owners report reduced pain, including back pain. This is similar to latex mattresses overall. (See mattresses and pain relief for more analysis.) |
| Firmness variety | poor | The ECO mattress is only for those who like a firm bed. Excessive firmness is the top complaint about the mattress. |
| Motion isolation | good | Like nearly all latex / foam beds, ECO performs well in absorbing motion from one person so that other person is not disturbed. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | good | Less than 2% of owners report off gassing from the foam part of mattress or a latex-type odor. |
| No sleeping hot | good | Less than 2% of owners report that the mattress acts as a heat trap. |
| Easy to move on | good | Latex beds with few exceptions are easy to move on as they tend to be more firm than soft. |
| Good for sex | good | There is not a significant number of complaints by owners regarding this issue. |
| No noise | good | The ECO bed is silent under all conditions. |
| Dust mite resistant | fair | See mattresses and dust mites for analysis. |
| No turning / flipping | good | Turning of the mattress (moving the head to the foot) can maintain comfort and support. Its one-sided design means no flipping. |
| Lightweight | fair | It is lighter in weight than most other latex mattresses, mainly because less latex is used. |
| Warranty | poor | There is conflicting information on this issue, but there does not appear to be a warranty on this mattress. |
| Return policy | poor | Overstock.com generally does not accept returns on this product. |
| Customer service | poor | Owners should not expect to receive customer service from ECO mattress after the sale, owner data suggests. |
