foambymail latex - who owns it?
|
I am hoping to order a latex mattress in the near future and am strongly leaning towards foambymail as their prices fit my budget best. I know about the ongoing debate over where foambymail gets their latex from, but I'm willing to accept that. Any feedback from users who have ordered a latex mattress or topper from foambymail would be much appreciated. This message was modified Sep 30, 2007 by jiffy524

Do FBM latex toppers look like the picture on their website? It looks like the holes are really small compared to most latex I have seen. I think I'm going to order a 2" 32 ILD. This message was modified Dec 3, 2007 by steve2u

| Steve, mine does not look like that picture - holes are bigger in relation to the spacing. |

| I just received my FBM latex. I am not sure how flawless latex should look, but mine had many imperfections (perhaps FBM resells 'seconds'). I doubt it will have any impact on the performance, time will tell. |

I received 2 3" toppers (the 20ILD and 32ILD), and 5" of Lux foam yesterday. Not to stray too far off-topic, but I was quite suprised how firm the Lux foam felt, even under 6" of latex. |
Re: foambymail latex - who owns it?
| Can the 3" 32 ILD support you without bottoming out on the LUX? |
Re: foambymail latex - who owns it?
| Eric, that's why we normally recommend half (or more) of that PU base to be 36ILD HQ foam. See my The perfect latex/PU foam thread. How did your 20 compare to your 32? My 1" 20 is very soft. |

My 1" 20 is very soft. Mine too, but the 32 is definately firmer. I read your thread but I was concerned about not having enough support. I have ordered another 2" of 32ILD to see if that helps, but I may have to rethink the core. |

Update: I must be getting used to it, slept good last night. It was the first morning in years I felt like I could have laid in bed all morning. Years will need to pass before I can say the FBM latex performs like latex from more expensive sources, but so far I am pleased. This message was modified Dec 5, 2007 by ericgl
