"1.57" Plush Luxury Latex
1.57" Firm Luxury Latex
5.71" Firm Luxury Latex"

More S brand BS! Anyone here tried to measure .57 inches or .71, especially with latex foam? Same goes for claiming 45.6 ILD. ...

"Never have more than 2-3" of soft foam under your back."

A very good starting point.

And back to the original query, stay away from any mattress with that much comfort PU. Except for allergy side of things, nothing wrong with high quality HR PU. It's the soft comfort crap that will compress (or even worse, lose all support, but NOT compress so warranty never kicks in). These companies don't make money by selling mattresses that last 20 years. If they really wanted to make a good mattress, they wouldn't use any soft PU materials subject to rapid failure OR would make it easy to open up and replace the compromised layers. They don't for a reason. If you've been told it's a 38 ILD 6" core, and you like it, you can buy 6" of 40 ILD (or 40/44) for under $900, and build your own. Even if considering...

I think some people find it hard to believe that names  like "Sealy" and "Sterns and Foster" make crappy mattresses.

They'll have to learn for themselves....

The Sealy you described has WAY TOO MUCH soft foam in it. I don't care how much latex it has, it will not give proper support to the back with all that soft foam.

My advice is that no matter what spring mattress you buy, get the firmest one possible with the best springs and then add your own toppers such as high quality latex and high quality 5lb memory foam.

Never have more than 2-3" of soft foam under your back....

for some reason I just grabbed the specs off a random s/f latex model, NOT the saybrook point which is the one we are looking at.  I was gettingmore at the material content, not the specific amounts of materials.  Sorry for the confusion!    Here are the layers of the Saybrook Point:

• Exquisite Quilt  Cover  
  • 1.0 ounce FlameGuard Silk/Wool Blend 
  • 1-1/2 x 1/2 " Convoluted SuperSoft Flawless Foam
  • 1/2" Supersoft Flawless Foam
• Comfort Layers
  • 1 x 1/2" Convoluted Genuine Latex Foam
  • 1/4" Genuine Latex Foam
  • 1" SuperSoft Flawless Foam
• Core
  ...

There are 5 different levels of firm/plushness.  Which one did you think was too soft?  Was it the Sealy or the Stearns/Foster?  Not that it is really different but we are actually getting the S/F model.  I don't know why I put the Sealy one in the thread.  The one we are leaning towards was right in the middle of firm and plush.  In the S/F brand it is called Saybrook point.  It did not have a pillow top....

Regarding S & F and Sealy Latex Mattresses--I actually talked to a Sealy rep who told me the firmness of their latex cores in all the Springfree mattresses: the 1.57 "Luxury Layer" is 35, their 2nd two "Firm Luxury Layers" are 45.6.  Don't know if that's accurate, it's just what was told to me. Hope that helps a little. All I know is that without some padding those mattresses feel too hard for me....

Please check your specks again--they match up to the S & F Ariel Sands, not the Saybrook according to my info. The mattress I referred to in my answer was the S & F Ariel Sands. It truly is way too much cushioning although it feels like a dream when you first lie on it. If you try the Saybrook I'd love to hear your feedback after sleeping on it for a few days . I'm looking at it myself now. Also, trying to figure out if it would just be better to get an innerspring with latex inside as the comfort layers or a stripped down innerspring and add layers as many advocate on this board. Good luck with your decision....

These mattress are difficult to compare by name as each store has  a different name for these mattresses. There are only 5 different spring free mattresses firm, plush, ultra plush, plush euro pillowtop and ultra plush box top. The mattress I tried was the ultra plush model, but I would like to try the plush model which is less expensive.  The plush model supposedly offers more support and has less foam. Anyone have any experience/input on the plush model?

Thanks...
