Hey, thanks for the report Budgy.

I suspected that the mattress guy I talked to wasn't telling the whole truth when he claimed that he had not heard that the springs migrating was an issue. Either that or he was just so new he hasn't heard all the things we've heard! He seemed knowledgeable yet when he said that he had never heard migration being a problem I got the feeling he was either green or lying.


On that note, what do you think of the Stearns and Foster intellicoils (are they included in your comments above re the cheap material encasing them?), and have you heard anything about the Stearns and Foster beds (here called Golden Elegance and Silver Dream) that use a bit of latex and intellicoil springs, joma wool, horsehair, cahsmere, etc... My guess would be that...

It is impossible to make latex foam without sulfur...it is literally what forms the links between the rubber molecules.  The foam is made of the same materials in either case, and this website has grossly oversimplified the process if we are trying to be really scientific. Ammonia is usually used in some small amounts in just about all latex foam production...particularly if the latex is being processed a long distance from the rubber plantations...ie, North America or Europe.  

When a rubber tree is damaged in the wild the milk of the rubber tree (latex) comes out and will actually naturally harden within a relatively short period of time.  Ammonia is typically added in large volumes in the shipping containers so that this does not happen during transport of the material.  Even a small amount is usually added even if it is processed in SE Asia.

If you buy cheap innersprings then latex on top of springs will be cheaper.  There are however many high quality high mattresses that use mostly latex as upholstery, Green Sleep, Carpe Diem, RoyalPedic, and I believe Duxiana.  Some of these options are also chemical free.  These beds will all for the most part also be just as expensive or more expensive than an all latex mattress.

Its doubtful that most cheap spring systems will provide better support than an all latex core, although I could see some personal preference being involved it is possible someone would like it better.  But as to what is best really depends on the spring system.

This does seem to be a prevailing trend.  Although over the last while that I have been participating on this forum we have continually dropped more and more 'S' brand product to the point we are no longer carrying any today.  Pocket coils are getting cheaper and cheaper...I personally feel the potential chance of having coil migration issues are far greater today than in the past because of the cheap fabrics being used to encase the coils in all of these mass produced beds.  I really don't think someone would see coil migration in a product like Marshall (like the actual Marshall mattress company from Ontario), Vi-Spring, Hastens, Green Sleep, Lavital, Hypnos, etc.  The cotton fabrics being used in the higher priced beds is strong enough that I dont think the coils would ever have a place to go.  The polyester wrappings being used today in most beds is just...

I wouldn't say you are crazy for considering it, just know that the mattress will feel a little different without it.  obviously the price difference becomes a lot smaller when looking at mattress only.  which particular model of Green Sleep are you considering?
