Jeff: Welcome to our little corner of the Internet.
I personally have a FloBeds 4 layer 100% natural botanically grown Talalay process latex bed. And I like it very much. But from what I have found during my research, over the last several months, if I were you, I would do a great deal more personal research regarding Tempurpedic mattresses. I layed on a few of them during my research and initially they felt good. But from what I have read on this site, and many other sites, quite a few customers who purchased them found out later that there were a variety of reasons that caused them to regret there purchase.
On the other hand there are some people who love them. But since they are so expensive I would certainly look at alternatives. Giving this site a good review, particularly the archives section should turn up some very interesting reading...

I know I said I wasn't going to post for several days until I have something new to report. But I had a couple thoughts that I thought I would pass along.
I will just mention that I had another good nights sleep last night. Two things I’ve noticed after having slept on this bed for a full week. Number one, and possibly of interest to some, is the fact that I cannot feel any crack between the two split layer side’s of the bed. This was something that was discussed at length on this forum recently. This business of having a split mattress in a king-size bed. I just cannot feel any division. What I can feel is the transition from the softer side of my bed to the firmer side of my bed. It should be noted here that the FloBeds provides a convoluted two inch piece of Talalay...

Catlover: You might want to go to the "Dunlop versus Talalay" thread and read my last post.
The bed that I purchased from FloBeds is an all natural 100% botanically grown Talalay processed mattress.
I know what you mean about people trying to sell Dunlop over Talalay or Talalay over Dunlop depending on what it is that they are promoting. One thing I found out for sure, and I find quite interesting since I was of the opinion that Dunlop was more supportive than Talalay, is that that is not the case, as far as Talalay being supportive. I still cannot compare the two because I do not have a Dunlop bed.
Everybody is just so different. Even we ourselves will change, to some extent or another, from one night to another, depending upon what the day has been like.
For instance. If you had a...

I have read and read on this subject. It always turns out that the author of the piece you're reading is usually for the product he is selling.
It would be wonderful if we could all go to a show room that had several all Talalay mattress of 100% natural botanically grown latex, and several mattress of 100% natural botanically grown latex developed by the Dunlop process. And let me hasten to add, in various firmness levels.
Very few people have an opportunity to do this. In the end what happens is, you purchased one or the other and you either like it or you don't. Therefore you need to purchase from somebody who will take the mattress back, and we'll give you your money back, less return shipping. Not too many of the companies are willing to do this.

First nights sleep report.
The FloBeds mattress arrived yesterday the 28th in good shape.
Getting the mattress in place was a lot more difficult than I had been led to believe. First of all Pat and I had one hard time removing the old waterbed. I did not rent a pump, which I should have, and so it was a long time draining. Then unfortunately I stop the draining because I thought it had become partially plugged up with the old flotation material. This ended any future draining, which was too bad because there was about 10 or 15 gallons of water left in the waterbed. This amounts to something like 150 pounds of sloshing mush of waterbed for two old people to try and handle. So we worked ourselves to death just getting the old waterbed out of the bedroom. So we were wore out before we even...

I've been lucky enough to be able to try both a Dunlop and a Talalay bed. The Dunlop is firmer. But that doesn't mean that the Talalay lacks proper support if you get the right ILD. Talalay definitely has a bouncier, springier feel, and the latex is "airier," but I found it was quite supportive, too. I too thought at first I was going to go Dunlop, but once I tried Talalay there's no going back. So you may find yourself surprised :) or you may just confirm your opinion that you want a Dunlop latex. LI does say on their website that Dunlop is firmer than Talalay. They recommend using it as a mattress core.
Latex International asserts that a blended Talalay product is more durable than 100% natural. From their website:
"By definition, latex is a rubber particle suspended in water. There are 2 types of latex; natural rubber latex...

I don't have the flobeds european slat foundation, but for a long time I used another type of Europena slat foundation with a completely different mattress set-up. Although it does have flexible beechwood slats, It's not the same design at all as flobeds so can't really be compared directly (I think the type of slat design I have are probably springier than flobeds. Anyway, ) I used it with a very firm thin piece of dunlap and wool pads, and liked it a lot. However, the bed was way too firm for my current needs. Ideally I would have liked to have kept using my European slats, but found it to be too springy with the 4-layer all natural talalay mattress (top layer being a thin piece of "egg-crate"). If I were using it with one less core and/or much firmer cores (I need a much softer...
