This whole business of trying to analogize a mattress to anything is dodging the issue of this conversation.

The whole point of this thread is the idea that the mattress industry does not want to say specifically what is in their product. They do not want the buying public to be able to price shop a mattress. This is the reason that they maintain the “naming convention” of all their mattresses from one distributor to another.

The truth is the major manufacturers of mattresses do not want you to really know what you’re purchasing. They don’t want you to be adequately informed so that you can compare it to some other companies mattress and the price thereof.

Go to any one of the major manufacturers of 100% organic natural latex mattresses and you find all kinds of information that is quite specific to your purchase. When the major manufacturers do this, then I...

My good experience with foamorder.com had nothing to do with purchasing anything from them, or using their products. It had to do with Steve.

I called foamorder.com today and had a lengthy conversation with Steve, one of their employees in customer service. I was a little confused trying to use their website in order to find everything I was looking for. While it is a very good website with a lot of information, some of it can be a little difficult to find some of the time.

Steve was very helpful and very informed. He never rushed me, never talk down to me, or tried to act like “He knew it all.” we must’ve talked for a lease an hour. All on my dime of course because I did not find an 800 number (they may have one, I just didn’t locate it). Which is just fine because when you’re using a...

Dave Turner, who own's FloBeds, is very customer oriented and I'm sure will be willing to try and help you. As far as reaching them is concerned keep in mind they are on the West Coast therefore there operating time is Pacific Standard Time.

Also realize that if you have a standard latex mattress, it came in basically pieces. Split through the middle with three layers on either side. You can switch those layers around, and even turn them over. You might give that a try.

Good luck.

LoveToCruse: I just noticed you said something about an "Air mattress on your side"? Just what kind of a bed do you have? I thought you had an all Talalay latex foam mattress. These are any where from 3 to 4 layers of natural organic Talalay from FloBeds.

DIYs are the territory of Jim and others but I can give you some insight into how the top of the mattress affects the temperature at which the bed sleeps.

The material that's in the ticking or top of the mattress has a significant effect on how warm the bed sleeps. Materials such as silk and wool sleep much cooler than poly blends. An easy test is to take your nails and scratch them across the top of your bed. If they make a scritch sound the top is not natural fiber and will probably sleep hot. Cashmere and Silk/Bamboo blends are about the best you can get for temperature moderation in a mattress.

My own bed is cashmere and alpaca loft and sleeps comfortably cool.

Jim,

I'll leave Eagle and yourself to your crusade then. Perhaps you'll change the industry from this forum.

In regards to mattresses with different names, the manufacturers DO put the basic model of the mattress on the foot of the bed. You can use these models to cross shop. In Simmons they're called Classic, World Class, Exceptionale, and Black. In Sealy they're called Premier, Reserve, Signature, and Natural Origins.

Now there are some minor differences between beds within a specific model. For example, one World Class might use dacron while the other uses silk and wool in the ticking. One Exceptionale might have a latex top while the other has a memory foam but these differences are obvious and usually printed on the card next to the bed. For the most part the beds are similar enough for you to comparison shop.

Also no retailer that I've ever come in contact with that has...

<quote>I have been told by another supplier of foam that they quit using Talalay in their mattresses because they had so many returns due to the material breaking down over time. This is the only place that I have heard this. FlowBeds in fact went exclusively Talalay some time ago and they sell a lot of mattresses.

I have also been told, by yet another manufacture, that you always want to have a very firm layer on the bottom, whether it is a Talalay bed for a Dunlop bed.

I have also been told that 100% organic natural latex will “soften up” over time.</quote>

Thanks for the info Eagle2. It's interesting you just wrote this because yesterday Dewey told me that they've "never had an issue with the latex breaking down". This was making me start to think that I was nuts, LOL. Dewey did contact me...
