Re: Any ultra firm mattresses out there? - jimsocal

Dunlop-processed natural latex can be SUPER firm and supportive.

 

Sometimes if you get it too firm people say it's like sleeping on cement. LOL.

I find that a medium firm Dunlop latex piece is very firm but comfortable, especially with some medium Talalay latex on top of that - so like 4-7" of Dunlop on the bottom, and 2-3" of Talalay on the top.

There are companies out there selling mattresses like this that offer comfort exchanges during a 60-100 day sleep trial. I would recommend this. But they're not cheap. Flobeds uses all Talalay I think but it also can be very firm. The one I am looking at is from plushbeds. A sleep trial is essential when trying a latex mattress in my opinion and both these companies offer that.

Europeans used to use a lot of...

Smoonly, a picture doesn't help much. You also need to be more specific about what kind of mattress you are looking for and if you have any sleep "issues" like bad back, or anything.

Many people here recommend latex and I am one of those.

There is a mattress I am looking at at plushbeds.com called the Botanical Bliss. It is pure latex with cotton and wool and has a 100 day sleep trial. I am not promoting the company nor have I ever ordered from them but I know a lot about latex mattresses and from what I can read on their site it looks like a winner. Flobeds is another recommended company with a great exchange policy to help you get it adjusted best for your firmness.

Those are my recommendations without any specific info from you.

I find memory...

Re: How to soften a latex mattress to improve shoulder pressure relief - sandman

Sounds like you might need 1" of something soft on top instead of the 2".  Might be worth trying 1" of memory instead of the extra 2" latex. Plus a softer zone under your shoulders would help. 

One thing you are missing from my configuration is that I cut out the portion under my shoulders of my base latex layer, and put in a softer piece there.    That helps with the issue you are talking about.  I got the idea from the flobeds vzone, if you have looked at that. 

So, from bottom to top I have firm sealy springs, 2" 32 natural talalay latex (with shoulder area cut out and replaced with slightly thinner 17-19 blended latex), 1" 19 blended talalay latex, 1" 24 natural talalay latex, 1" 5.9 memory foam, wool filled mattress pad. 

I occasionally switch the layers around, but...

Re: Essentia - crock

I recently went to the Essentia store in Santa Monica because i was curious if their memory foam would sleep hot.  I like some Tempurpedic beds but did not like the heat retention. The Essentia memory foam does not really strike me as a true memory foam. It springs back right away and does not leave an impression that lasts any length of time. It does succeed in giving a little less pushback than my Flobeds natural Talalay latex. I think somebody going to Essential and expecting a Tempurpedic experience will be disappointed. I found it difficult to descern any difference between the Essentia "memory foam" and a normal latex mattress.

I'll take a shot at it-

1- There is no single DIY model, as you'll see if you lurk around this site enough. You can come up with any number of hybrid scenarios, do surgery on an existing bed, change out layers, start over, etc.

2-  Since you mention Sleep EZ, they are a good source. I recently had a very good experience with them, and the latex they shipped me was well-packed and in perfect condition.  Shawn can provide a lot of valuable advice. A lot of folks here buy latex from Foam by Mail (FBM) which is cheaper, but I don't know how willing they are to make exchanges, etc. There are several others. Keep in mind that there are only a couple of manufacturers for all intents and purposes:  Latex International (in Connecticut) and Radium supply nearly everyone who sells mattress-grade latex in...

I thought I would make a thread on this subject as it keeps coming up in so many of the posts.

I just purchased a California King, all botanically grown, Talalay processed latex mattress. I have been sleeping on it now for 10 days. The only odor that I am noticing is a very mild sweet smell. It's rather pleasant actually, and I rather enjoy it. It has been diminishing considerably over the last several days and soon it will probably be all gone. I think I'm going to miss it, just a little bit.

From everything I have been able to read on the subject, this seems to be one of the side advantages to botanically grown 100% natural Talalay, as opposed to a petrochemical-based products.

 I think the 10,000 compares closer to the select ? Anyhow, i actually called flobeds when i was tossing the idea around of buying online, and asked why they were more expensive, they explained the policies they have and product.. and were rather convincing, however were willing to make me a mattress without the convoluted topper.. in short i believe you'll find Flobed to be worth it.. and the select vs the 10,000 is within 100$ with natural talalay

just my 2 cents..

Does Flobeds Negotiate Prices? - penguin
Jul 24, 2013 6:45 AM
I am interested in the Flobeds Deluxe Natural or Vzone Natural Talalay.  Their web site says they have everyday low prices.  Do they negotiate down from these or does everyone pay the same price? I understand from reading is that in the past they had sale prices from time to time, and their web site still says they have sales and will lower the price if someone writes to them within the first 90 days.  But it does not seem that they run sales anymore so I dont see the possibility of a price paid being lowered.  So I am just wondering if anyone has negotiated with them recently and what happened.  Thank you!

Sandman:

I tried memory foam in the top layer. I used a 2" 4lb Aerus memory foam topper which I had in a guest bedroom. I tried it only on my side of the mattress (to avoid disrupting my wife's side of the mattress). This is the config (from top to bottom):

2" 4lb Aerus memory foam

2" all-natural latex 21 ILD

6" blended Talalay latex 32 ILD

Having the memory foam in the top layer improved things a lot for me. I found the top surface to be softer and more accommodating, providing better pressure relief. I will try this for a few more days to insure these findings continue to be true.

I think I have two more findings:

1) 4" of soft material is too much for me. With either 2" + 2" latex 21...

Which ILD latex for our height and weight? - jaehoppa
Jun 15, 2017 2:00 PM
I'm looking to buy a latex mattress very soon and I'm seriously looking at Flobeds 12 inch natural latex mattress due to their great reviews, great customer service, and high quality products.

I just need help deciding on the firmness level.

I'm 5'10" 150lbs and my wife is 5'6 120lbs.

We are both side sleepers and I prefer medium/average firmness while she prefers softer feel, which I don't really mind either.

I would rather keep both sides uniform. Do they split the layers anyway even if both side are identical? If that's the case I may try a different setup for each side..

I was looking at the ILD ratings for their natural talalay latex and it's 22(soft), 28(medium), 32(firm), 36(x-firm).

I was leaning toward going with soft-med-firm but I felt like the ILD difference between medium and firm is quite small compared to other companies so I'm thinking of...
