Re: 100% natural vs. blend latex at Flobeds - MequonJim

I own both LI blended talalay and LI 100% natural talalay.  In my opinion, they are very similar products.  I think the blended is slightly more consistent.  In the future, when I throw away my foam by mail latex, I am going to replace it with LI blended.  Actions speak louder than words.........

Wow! Tks but neither of you mentions Savvy Rest!! They too have a stellar reputation with A or A+ at BBB..

This I do know: we will only consider dunlop.

If Flobeds are now selling dunlop, I will try to find out who they use. TKs for that info!
 

I have recommended Savvy Rest several times on these boards. I believe they are a first rate company. I checked into them as well at one time, as I thought that only Dunlop would satisfy my latex needs. I subsequently learned that Talalay could provide all the support that I needed. I have never spent the night sleeping on a Dunlop bed so I cannot speak to the issue from that standpoint. But I think you would find either with 100% natural botanically grown Talalay processed latex, or Latex Internationals blended Talalay that you could find all the support...

Eagle2: I gave the order to Dewey, who seemed like a pretty helpful and knowledgable guy.

Have you experienced any issues with the layers shifting/sliding apart? That happens with my memory foam on top of a spring mattress. I assume that the friction of the latex foam, and the cover should hold them together pretty well. But, I did not really ask about that potential issue.

No, I have not experienced any shifting of the layers. I talked to them about this and Dewey explain to me that they made the cover intentionally slightly smaller than the dimensions of the cores, specifically to address this potentiality. Besides, latex rubber, blended or no, is very clingy. If you put two pieces of latex together and try to drag them you will have one heck of a time. You will find this out when you go...

Good for you delilah! I believe you will find that David and Dewey Turner are excellent people to do business with.One thing is for sure, if you don't like something you can exchange it. And worst comes to worst, you can always get your money back within the 90 day period. These are the reasons that I'm doing business with them. I know I'm paying a couple of hundred dollars more than over someone like SleepEZ. Although Sean at SleepEZ seems to be a very excellent and helpful person, you're not dealing with the owner of the company, at least as far as I know. The other factor is that they just do not have the liberal exchange and return policy that FloBeds has. This was the deciding factor for me. They do have one nice feature, if it is of interest to the individual, they sell Dunlop as well...

Thanks all. Sleepez has a pretty good review of latex on their website. In their summary, they believe that blended is the best value in terms of of comfort, consistency, and durablility. They also say Talay blended and Talay natural feel the same. They imply that natural might last longer, but not enough longer to overcome the cost differential.<BR><BR>I am not sure if they have an axe to grind, since they sell all of the different type from what I can tell. It is possible that they have different profit margins on the different products, which might give them a bias. I have no reason to believe that though.<BR><BR>I think I am going to go with the blended, since I cannot find any evidence that all natural performs better. I am trying to keep the cost down, and I...

Wow!  You sound thoroughy confused, and I'm not surprised, with the so-called "information" you're being given.  Unfortunately, I didn't really research Dunlop latex as much as Talalay  much during my investigative phase, although I did take a look at Latex Green's website.  I don't know what you can tell from a website, but I was impressed with the Latex Green website, and I got the impression that if you're going Dunlop, you want your latex to come from Sri Lanka (Latex Green).  Here is the website:

http://www.latexgreen.com/home.html

My hunch is that you should go with SleepEZ since they at least have a return policy and you know they sell a good quality latex.  To throw another monkey wrench in the affair, I now hear that Flobeds also sells Dunlop latex mattresses in addition to 100% natural and blended Talalay.

If I had to do my project over again, I think I'd have bought...
SleepEZ Latex Green vs Savvy Rest Coco Latex both Dunlop - catlover
Oct 9, 2009 3:54 PM
Was about to pull the trigger and order a zip cover, split layers king dunlop set from Savvy Rest, but then put  SleepEZ back on my list (I had cut SleepEZ from my list early on as their websites -I found 2- confused me. Talking with them is the best thing -once you have knowledge, so SleepEZ is back on my list)

I've spoken, at length to both above-named dealers.  Sean, at SleepEZ (owner's son) answered almost everything, but referred some questions to his dunlop distributor, JR at Sleep Comp, who has been in this business forever, & supplies almost all dealers with both Talalay and Dunlop, blended, unblended & natural & he represents many latex manufacturers. He is also the only person who agrees that my husband's back needs a dunlop XF/F/M. (JR has back issues & that's what he sleeps on) He also told me that there will be inconsistencies with natural dunlop...

Thanks eagle2. I was aware of the sale, which was one of the reasons I was leaning towards the blend. In fact, I put in an order today for the vzone, after waking up with a sore neck and headache.

I like the fact that I can customize the hip and shoulder areas, which is where I have the biggest issues (I am a side sleeper). I think this customization model is a great concept. I wish I would have discovered it earlier. Plus, it sounds relatively easy to ship (vs. a "normal" mattress). The other mattress business models seem problematic to me, but I guess one can always stumble upon something that works for them.

However, as they say, the proof will be in the pudding. So, we'll see how I like it in actual use. It should arrive in...
