My husband and I would like to purchase a latex mattress because of the chemical issues with inner spring and memory foam, etc. From my initial reading I thought that latex would not "canoe" like inner spring mattresses. Now I'm reading a lot of comments that many people do have canoeing issues with several of the popular 100% latex brands. Has anyone owned a latex mattress for awhile and not had problems with impressions? If so, I'd greally appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks! |

I was originally considering purchasing a combination of Dunlop and Talalay latex for my bed. Do to a rather protracted experience( which I will not go into here) I wound up purchasing an all Talalay bed manufactured by FloBeds utilizing Latex International 100% natural latex. So my personal experience is limited. However I have never heard of anybody complaining about Dunlop hundred percent natural latex forming body impressions. I agree that you need to consider only the first line manufacturers of latex. The thing you need to keep in mind about Habitat, is that there bed is all of a piece. In other words you can purchase their six-inch mattress in a king-size Dunlop, and it is going to be very heavy. I can just imagine what the package must look like that they shipped to you. I think they are a fine company, but they are doing business different than almost everyone else. My choices would be, in the following order, number one FloBeds, number two SleepEZ, number three Foam Sweet Foam. FloBeds will be the more expensive of the three but has the best exchange and return policy on the Internet. SleepEZ will be less expensive but there are questions about their return and exchange policy. They say one thing on their website and they're telling people on the phone something else altogether. But they have enough satisfied customers that I would not hesitate to purchase from them once we had exchanged e-mails about the purchase. Foam Sweet Foam is going to have the best price but the most restrictive exchange and return policies of the three. But I would be tempted to purchase from them because I think they run a first-class operation and I believe they only purchase their Talalay latex from Latex International. As I suggested to you earlier, you need to call each one of them and make up your own mind. This message was modified Jun 16, 2010 by eagle2

| I get the impression that the Dunlop latex made by Latexco is also high quality. I haven't tried it myself, but it is manufactured in the US. |

I m under the impression that Latex Green makes only Dunlop. I would be interested in knowing if I am in error on this. jimsocal wrote: Green. And personally I am sold on the idea that natural Talalay as made by Latex Green or LI is your best bet. |
| Thanks very much, eagle2, for your concise explanation of the differences between the 3 companies. Thanks to everyone else for the input, too. There is certainly lots to consider! |
