Good Points: Excellent Customer Service (phone)Excellent web siteSuper comfortable mattress and no smell or heat issues

Bad Points: Took a long time to arrive (but expectations were set)

General comments: So here is the story of how I came to buy a mattress over the Internet without ever trying it.1 - Had been using futons for years and my back problems getting worse2 - Decided to shop for the best, healthiest material for my wife and I to sleep on (pretending price was no object)3 - Never been much of an innerspring guy so decided to check out other options (foam, air, latex)4 - Did a bunch of research and found out that memory foam is universally recommended as the most comfortable and supportive sleep for your back (except for the chemicals)5 - Decided to road test Tempurpedic mattress, and a few others at my local Sleep Train6 - Tried out the Tempurpedic Rhapsody and was very impressed with the comfort7 - Did a bunch more research and found out that while many people were very happy with the Tempurpedic, many more were very unhappy due mostly to several reasons - Off-gassing (the smell) and sleeping hot. Caveat Emptor!8 - Discovered Essentia's web site www.myessentia.com and the Tempurpedic v. Essentia Comparison page9 - Read a bunch more of the articles from the excellent Learning Center on Essentia's site and was very impressed with the amount of information and the transparency10 - Was very skeptical about buying a mattress without ever trying it (no showroom in my area) so placed a call to Essentia USA.11 - Pestered staff with a bunch of questions and they handled them all with a bounty of knowledge, enthusiasm, grace, and humor12 - Talked to my wife and had to make a decision - We believed what we read that Essentia is the only natural memory foam mattresses on the market, that they are green, clean and healthy BUT will this be as comfortable as the Tempurpedic and how do I pick the Essentia that will most likely match the Rhapsody in firmness and comfort?13 - Looked at the Essentia mattress collection a few more times and decided that the Energie Opus seemed to be the right choice based on the firmness rating and description14 - Talked to staff a few more times, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger15 - Luckily was moving into our new house so too busy to notice the wait16 - Got the mattress, opened it up (no smell - NONE) put it together, put some sheets on and gave it a whirl!So how did we do? We both looked at each other and cracked a big grin because not only did this mattress match exactly our expectation of what we remembered the Rhapsody to feel like, it may have been even more comfortable! Now three weeks later, I can say that I have never slept better in my life. I was a bit hot at first and thought it was the mattress until I realized I am sleeping in a new house with a brand new HVAC furnace (very efficient) with the vent right over my head. It's not the bed. My back had been very sore from packing, moving, unpacking, not exercising, etc. The only difference in the last few weeks that I am sleeping on a brand new Essentia Energie Opus. Slowly but surely, every day my back is a little less sore.Though it was definitely very weird to buy a mattress without trying it, I can say it was one of the best decisions I have made. Our sleep and health are very important to us. Essentia is the real deal.

It took forever to arrive!!! Even though they warned me it could take 2-4 weeks to arrive, it was a long 26 days.The Energie Opus was well worth the wait. I tried a few other brands in stores but ended up ordering from Essentia's website after a quick chat with them.The comfort is definitely there. Soft..deep comfort. I think it improved my posture. :-)Very impressed with the mattress. I'd recommend it in a heat beat.

I was just too hot with the Tempur-Pedic mattress. It's a big artificial foam block. Great support but feels horrible. Essentia foam is water based and breathable. Very pleasant sleep.

All my friends were preaching about Tempur...now they all want an Essentia Memory Foam mattress.
