Hi Alex,

 

I would trust your instincts and go with what you think would work.  Give it a good try and if it doesn't, get a refund. That's the great thing about Flobeds, and the main reason I chose them over Saavyrest or others. Even though I now like a fairly soft bed because I need it for pressure point and nerve problems, I also need really good lower back support. I went a lot firmer than recommended, and I did the unusual thing of putting a firm right under the first soft layer. You probably have read some other posts here of people who went very firm, even if they were lightweight.

I've slept on Dunlop beds (an original Sears one s a child, decades ago, another one as  a...

Re: Latex: 3 layers of 2.8" versus the 6" core + 2" topper options - thoughts and input please! - Phoenix
Dec 8, 2010 3:32 PM
Basically the price of latex (apples to apples) depends on the thickness of the material in the mattress.

6 + 2 constructions tend to be less expensive because they have less latex in them (8")

3 x 3 constructions are a little more partly because they have more latex (9") and partly because a 3" layer is a 6" core cut in half. Having said that though, many of the 6 + 2 constructions also have 2 x 3" layers as their core rather than a single 6" core so then the material difference in prices would be just the single inch more material.

Some of the 3" layers in blended Talalay are actually 2.8" (a 5.6" core cut in half) but since they are still a core cut in half they are usually the same price as 3". This is because Latex International...

I hope this is not too "charlie brown's teacher" like (a joke coming from another thread :))

If this is too long the short version is ... I believe any commonly used "layers" in a mattress can provide proper support and comfort but they do it with a different "feel" and in different ways. Incorrect layering or construction for an individual may result in problems with a certain material but it is not the material itself which is the culprit but incorrect construction (for the individual) or "incorrect" use of that material in a certain construction. Sometimes this incorrect use is so common that people believe that certain materials are not appropriate at all. Because of the different feels between different constructions as well, many people will have clear preferences for one "system" over another. So latex over innersprings in some cases may make it easier to get...

OK, here are what I believe are your best options. I would take a look at these websites and what I have written and then decide which one you like the best. They are all a little different but i don't think you would go wrong with any of them. They all represent great value and all the prices are for queen siz, include shipping, and include any discounts I know about.

MATTRESS OPTIONS

This one is 6" of Talalay with 2" of Talalay on top with a very nice zippered wool and cotton quilt cover. The top is always soft latex (around the 22 we talked about) and the bottom can be any choice from softer to firmer that he has (28, 33, or 38 ILD). You can also make half the bed...

Sleepless in Michigan - Latex topper? - Fibromaniac
Dec 5, 2010 8:29 AM
I'll try to be brief. We just moved and, having no beds to sleep on, bought 2 "high quality" Restronc "plush" twin beds. My husband can sleep on anything. I have been trading beds in on a regular basis for years. Water beds, air beds, posture beds, memory foam bed.


I wanted to try latex but couldn't find one around here to even try. At home I was sleeping on a very hard cheap bed with a four inch memory foam topper. (rescued from the original memory foam bed after it developed impressions in the first year.) It was working fairly well but we had no place to put the bed in this new home.


I tried using the 4" foam on this Restronic and it was awful. I am tall -- around 5'10" with long legs and had to...

Once again, thanks for your time, Phoenix.

I checked the Brick's invoice and they offer a 'Sleep Better Comfort Guarantee': " a one-time reselection for 90 days from the date of delivery. This offer is extended to 180 days with a matt pad." So, I'm considering one of the following:

1. Buy the Springwall plus a good topper as you suggested (The Sertapedic is the same price as the Springwall, but I'd have to ask about the amount of polyfoam in it: http://www1.thebrick.com/brickb2c/jsp/catalog/product.jsp?id=CELITEQPK&navAction=jump&navCount=5). This option seems practical and economical. I might try a Natura latex topper; I have one of their latex pillows, which I find very comfy and supportive.

2. Do some research this time (!) and try out the Tempur-Pedic RythmicNC: http://www1.thebrick.com/brickb2c/jsp/catalog/product.jsp?id=RHYTHMQPK&navAction=jump&navCount=18 

It's the only full latex mattress offered by the Brick plus it has the wool liner...

Sleep EZ - 8500 experience - klas
Dec 24, 2010 8:57 AM
Hello,

 

I'v been researching latex mattresses wanting to get away for regular coil one. A bit of history, we currently have Queen Simmons Burdock plush mattress, which is a bit on a firm side. There is nothing wrong with it and we've been getting a good sleep on it for years, but latex mattresses advantages have attracted me almost instantly. 

I've searched many sites for best deals and stumbled upon Sleep EZ where I ordered initially natural Dunlop 6" special, but quickly changed it Talalay blend Sleep EZ 8500 model. When the sales guy called I asked him what's recommended firmness and he gave me the same suggestion as to everyone else XF, F, S, but I decided to go with Medium for top layer).  I am 175 pounds 5'9" and my wife is 125 pound 5'5" (she is also 20 weeks pregnant). We...
