 My wife, when I mentioned cutting it open, said "and just what will we end up sleeping on tonight while you're still trying to put things together????" LOL!



For the inspection, you can make the cut on the end of the mattress, not the top.  You could still sleep on the mattress.  If you decide to remove the failed foam, you could continue slicing around the edges and open it up like a can.  Leave one edge attached.  Pull out the foam, and flop the top of the mattress case back on.  Add some safety pins to keep it together.  You could even insert your replacement foam like that.  If you don't like the idea of sleeping on a sliced open mattress, you can get a new cover for it.

Latex will have pin holes all across the top and bottom of the foam.  It should either be...

beergut, I just think it is wonderful to not have springs pushing into my back like my old Sealy Posturpedic Bed that had no cushion and was their firmest bed that I bought around 14 years ago.  I used to turn from side to side but despite its flaws soft beds always hurt my back. I love my Latex Bed since I can move the latex cores around to get the right comfort level and it accommodates to my body but bounces back and looks nice again before going to sleep the next night.  I am glad you are happy also and are a latex convert. But there are still people that do not like Latex beds and that is fine that is why there are so many choices to choose from since we are all so different....

Beergut, I am happy you and you wife love your Latex Matress also.  I am so happy I know longer sleep on a conventional matress. I wake up without a stuffy nose and wake up without pain on any pressure points like I did on my very firm Sealy Posturpedic Mattress that finally fell apart....

jefflackey,
We bought a Sealy Reflection Laguna Beach latex mattress three years ago.  It was a pillow top and didn't last as long as yours did.  Since we were at the nothing to lose place we cut the pillow top off the mattress.  The pillow top was nothing but cheap yellowing foam.  The rest of the mattress was a six inch base of Dunlop latex and three inches of Talalay.  The latex was in good shape so we used an electric craving knife and cut it in half.  It is now two twin mattresses on a day bed and trundle in DH office....

2" top? I doubt it. It may be constructed of 2" of uncompressed material, but once quilted into the ticking it will be no more than an inch.
They state that the case adds 2" to the foam thickness - it's probably not the same as having 2" of foam being that it's quilted in, but my previous Sealy Fenway had about 2" of quilting when it was new and still does along the top edges of the mattress. I think I'm going to order the 32 ILD latex from FBM first and keep and eye on the clearance section at foamorder for a 12" King case. That will give me 2" to soften it up more or add more LUX (or something else that's cheaper) to the bottom to add height....

Good for you Lynn!    It has been a couple of weeks now and we are doing great with the kit.  My warranty mattress cover is on its way. I called Shawn about it and he said there was a delay in shipment because of all the rain AZ got. Guess it did a number on their roof.

It's too bad that the American consumer has to search high and low for a quality product now. Whether it be a vacuum cleaner or bicycle, mattress or a car. Unfortunately, corporate Americas quest for profit and cost...

fire retardant chemicals - iowa_baby
Nov 27, 2007 6:39 PM

        Some people on this forum are concerned with avoiding the fire retardant chemicals that can be used to meet the new standards, as are we.  So far, no manufacturer I’ve seriously looked at admits to using any chemicals for this purpose.  They all say they have special fibers (Sealy), or rely on the wool layer (Flobed), or a cotton/wool blend (SleepEZ).  The People For Clean Beds.org website claims that “There are no natural or chemical free systems that pass the severe open flame test” and that “While wool would pass the old cigarette test for mattresses, it will not pass the new open flame test. These mattresses either use chemically treaded (sic) wool, another system, or rely on chemically treated cotton batting (Boric Acid and Antimony) to pass the open flame test.”  What’s the opinion of those of you who have...

latex mattress options - looking for advice - iowa_baby
Nov 27, 2007 6:34 PM

I’ve been reading and researching mattress purchases and have found this Forum to be extremely helpful.  The more I read, however, the less certain I get.  We have a 16-year-old King Koil queen innerspring mattress on a solid platform bed.  Within the last year or so I have been less and less comfortable on it.  I feel like I can feel the springs, although nothing seems broken.  No depressions, lumps or anything like that.  It’s all muscular, but I wake up achy.  .  My husband was also uncomfortable but last year we got a wool topper and he is now content.  He is willing to buy a new mattress to improve my comfort, however, so I started my research.  I quickly decided I wanted a latex bed.  No memory foam as I have the pillow and find it...

Update -


I seem to be getting more used to it and its getting easier to sleep on it vs night 1 and 2.

There indeed DOES seem to be a bit of a heat issue when compared to my old Sealy Post - if the room is kept cool though, it's not an issue. Apart from that little issue, i'm happy with it....

 Sorry for the double post  - Just my observations.

Night one - I like it, a lot. It returns to its original shape just fast enough so that if you need to turn over, you're not finding yourself crawling out of a hole (not to say others DO feel that way as I've never owned one before this). It never felt "mushy" even after being on it for a while.

Heat problems? Non existent for me. It felt warm, never hot. It was really just right for my taste. I'm relieved to know it doesn't get hot like some memory foam mattresses I have read about.

It's soft, and gives some - but at the  same time  comfortably supportive. I went from an older Sealy Post mattress and this actually feels more supportive IMO (although it could just be because the Sealy was indeed several years old).

I guess some of...
