But I would like to go to a retail location and try sleeping on a talalay/dunlop mattress.

Are there any retailers that carry 100% latex mattresses in dallas or ft worth locations? These are the only 2 big cities that I can drive to.

Well I can drive to Austin also if it comes to that.

Thank you folks.

Stearns and Foster makes some all latex mattresses though they are not widely available.

You may want to call S&F and ask them if any retailers in your area carry their all latex mattresses. When I say "all latex" I mean that one model they sell here in CA has 97% latex, 2" fiber and 1% poly. Some other models have 87% latex, etc. Also this is synthetic latex. I spoke with a guy from S&F who claims that their synthetic latex will last longer than natural latex. He swore it was true. I am skeptical and Budgy here on this forum has stated the opposite. But I don't know that anyone can really say for certain as I doubt any testing has been done. The S&F latex models do have a 20 year warranty "for what it's worth" (not a whole lot as mattress warranties can be voided due to about any reason).
