I checked out their site.
Problem is, they don't really give you enough details to know what is really inside the mattress.
They never quite say there is ONLY latex and memory foam inside. So I suspect there IS some poly foam in there.
They mention that they use wool but I can't see how much wool.
They mention using a tri-zoned Dunlop latex layer but is it the core or is it just one of those $100 Dunlop tri-zone toppers I've seen on sale on some web site?
Maybe they just don't bother to tell us these things because they figure we don't need or want to know. OR maybe they are hiding the truth. Who knows?
All I know is, I would have to ask a lot of detailed questions before I would buy one.
I also don't like that they don't give prices.

I am STILL trying to find out what my Spring Air from 15 years ago has. I think Bonnell obviously, but those are the firmest from what I understand. I am not even sure if the bed manufacturers still are using these. Who knows?

Jim, it looks like you have it under control. Have you laid on the mattress at all? how much foam is in there? I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in guage if it the mattress feels good and there isn't too much foam in it. If you decide to do surgery on it, go will a small amount of foam (1-2") at first then build it up from there. I went with the legacy because it was the most comfortable. the orthopedic extra firm was good also. Keep us updated.

Hell, it was probably a very middle of the road bed back then but now it is probably better than anything you can buy without spending $3000+ !

As someone who owns several omf mattresses, I'm not sure that I would do that. Check around your area and make sure that there isn't a small manufacturer near by. If you do go with them, go with the orthopedic extra firm. it has some pu foam but not a lot. I think the ultra firm is too hard for most people. You might as well just sleep on a board. I say the orthopedic, because it is the better springs....

Hi Kimberly and Others, Thanks for the update. Maybe I'm not remembering but I thought you had said awhile back that your husband loved the Flobed (while you were the one who wasn't so sure)? Anyway, I was wondering what happened... did it just started feeling less comfortable to him or what (or am I not remembering correctly?) Here's an update from my experience. I kept my Flobed even though I can't say it's totally perfect... but then I don't think any bed set-up is (at least not for me). As I mentioned in a post awhile back, since obviously it wasn't possible to take what I felt was best (as per my needs) from several different companies, I picked the one I felt overall most confident about in terms of both product and customer service (and which allowed returns). And...

I have a Nexgel bed and it sleeps wonderful. I have had it now for about a month and I have my choice of beds to sleep on. I was skeptical that the bed could stack up against some of the other beds that I have slept on. don't get caught up in the hype over Intelligel and orthogel...they were invented by the same company. I don't think that a polymer will break down even with the harshest use in less than 20 years. I also use the Roll N Go seat cushion when I am at work....
