Re: Flobeds Posture Zone-on-Point - Talalay Latex Mattress - Lynn2006

Philly888. I am glad you mother loves the beds and sheets. I also love my beds and sheets. I also love the super soft latex pillow (comes in three softness variations and I chose the softest one) but Dave sent me a Queen and it is too high for me so I am using my Overstock Talalay natural latex pillows that are a tiny bit higher and firmer than I like but are very comfortable to me.  I was going to try out the standard size pillow in soft but I got too busy with tax season.

My sheets fit my bed perfectly and are not too short or too long since I have a Queen Bed and three layers with a topper.

I also love flannel sheets in the winter time.  Thanks for posting the update....

Talalay Vs. Dunlop Latex - Lynn2006
May 25, 2008 7:56 PM
From all my readings about Dunlap versus Talalay process methods and from my experience with that one Dunlap topper ( I have not experienced any Dunlap latex cores that may be great for bottom support), it seems that the Talalay Process cleans out the latex better and produces more consistent pin holes that produce more consistent ILD's throught the latex core and that the firmer Talalay Latex has a very long life. Latex International says that Talalay Latex lasts longer than Dunlap Latex but Latex International manufactures Talalay Latex.  :) 

I have selected posts from various sites below to help others make the decision.

I am happy with the Talalay Latex cores I have from FloBeds that buys them from Latex International (but my topper is from Brylane Homes since I wanted a 1" topper that was soft made with the Talalay Processing.... Dave did sent me three toppers but they were...

"When I compare our Dunlop mattresses side by side with a Talalay bed, to me it so obvious, the main observation being that you tend to sink more in the Talalay material, vs. the Dunlop Natural material, which keeps you suspended if you will, on top of the mattress. Side sleepers especially seem to respond better to the Dunlop method since when you apply a lot of weight to the latex in a limited area (imagine side sleeping being like a knife on edge, vs. a belly or back sleeper, where the weight is more evenly distributed), the pressure point reduction and weight distributing qualities of the latex being clearly superior. You don’t bottom out on it, and you can easily turn from side to side effortlessly. This is important when you consider that a common complaint of memory foam users, and a few Talalay process...

Has anyone had any experience with the Natural Bed Store.com? - BeddyBye

I had forgotten I signed up to get a free sample kit from Natural Bed Store online. It arrived today. I'm not in the market for a mattress, but I was curious if anyone has any experience with this store or their mattresses? They're made from all-natural materials. (latex, cotton and wool cover.) The model Heaven and Earth looks nice, as well as the zipppered mattress, Rainforest. If you want their pricing, you need to call. I wonder if that translates into expensive? :)

My topper is tucked in snuggly under my Ultimate CuddleBed fitted mattress fiberbed-like pad. But before I had that, I just put a regular, fitted, quilted mattress pad over the topper. It never slips at all. Stays right where it's supposed to. It's important to have deep enough of a fitted skirt to fit around your mattress and topper.

Thanks for that interesting comparison, Steve. I think you're on to something. I have a couple inches of firm and medium firm Talalay latex in my zippered coil mattress and it wasn't until I put the Dream Coil Omalon topper on that I really felt more "suspended", as you described it. The Omalon is guaranteed for life---never to flatten. So, now I have the best of both worlds---latex and a firmer top (maybe a sensation similar to the way Dunlop process feels.

That is a good question....  I question I have pondered on sleepless painful nights.  I too have a memory foam bed (Sealy) and feel your pain (the one who also has this bed), have you tried flipping the mattress over and then try different toppers?  That is where I am, but my story doesn't have a happy ending yet.  I tried many things, but I have not tried the Dunlop because it weights much more and would cost more to ship (my thoughts anyway).  Also I can't find any of it locally to look at, and it costs more doesn't it?

Cloud 9, Where can you buy just 1" of Dunlop? 


I have 2 layers of the Natura topper under a mattress cover, and under my featherbed, and I still have hip pain after so many hours (like Cloud9 mentions).  So I thought the Dunlopillo layers would help, but apparently either...

Thanks for the informative post. There is so much info out on the web its really hard to know who or what you can trust.

But I did want to note one thing about the SleepEZ post. He is clearly comparing natural Dunlop to synthetic Talalay (he says "The major benefit of the Talalay process is in the softer firmness. The combination of natural more elastic latex with synthetic latex..."  I am not sure if/how this changes if you compare to natural Talalay. Also, this FAQ still says "We use only Talalay latex for all our mattresses and mattress toppers." Since thats not true anymore, I think its safe to say that this FAQ is at least a bit stale, so some of their opinions might have changed.

Also, I wanted to point out at least one source that seems clearly pro-Dunlop, because most of the ones you pointed to seemed to...

I’ve decided on the Select Sleep 8500 from SleepEZ but need to make a final decision on layers.  First, I’ll lay out (no pun intended) my stats and requirements:  I am a 51 yr. old female, 5’2” tall, 155 lbs.  I have lower back issues (degenerated disc at L5/S1), osteoporosis of the spine, osteopenia of the hips and a joint disease similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis.  To top it all off, I’m an insomniac and a stomach sleeper (at least to fall asleep – when I sleep at all).  This means that I need firm support but enough “cush” to avoid waking up with a frozen shoulder or an arm that’s asleep as I do now (currently extra firm innerspring with convoluted memory foam topper).
