Latex Longevity
|
My Girlfriend and I are currently looking to purchase a new mattress as our current one does not meet our needs at all. Neither of us feel well rested in the morning. It is a cheap mattress we bought while we were students, and now that we are both working full time we wanted to get a mattress that will last us for a while. We are hesitant about buying a mattress that we can't try out before buying (flo or sleepez) but our biggest is concern is the durability of latex and its resistance to getting indentations. Mainly I was wondering if anyone who has had mattresses from either of these companies for 2+ years has had any trouble develop down the road! Thanks |

http://habitatfutons.com/latex_mattress.html "high quality, all botanical, Sri Lankan latex" "Our 6" 100% Natural Latex Mattress contains only pure Sri Lankan Botanical Latex with no synthetic, petroleum based urethane foam. " The guy in the video makes a point of mentioning Sri Lankan latex. Most Dunlop is from South Asia. LI is an American company known for making Talalay latex - mostly blended with about 60% petroleum products - the kind this site claims are so bad. |

Blended has a more uniform feel and is available a bit firmer than natural Talalay. My wife and I have blended on the bottom and 2 natural above w/ a natural topper. |
