Hello all, I've been reading this forum ever since I bought my new latex mattress from a local mfg. As you recall, I returned a "medium" latex mattress and got a "firm" from this company in Massachusetts. I found that I was bottoming out on the 8 inch "medium" mattress. They claim to use only Talalay Latex from Latex International. I assume this is blended rather than all natural, but they don't say. The firm mattress which I kept is a bit TOO firm for me with 6 inches of "40 ILD" under 2 inches of "32 ILD"....all enclosed in a permanent cotton/wool cover. I have added an old 2" piece of memory foam which helps immensely and I've been sleeping pretty well on this setup. However, sometimes I still feel like I might be "bottoming out" with this bed (I weigh 265 lbs) though it's hard to tell if I'm just hitting the FIRM latex underneath. SO, I am about to purchase another 3 inch topper layer of latex and wanted some opinions. I prefer a softer feel on top but don't want to "bottom" out. After researching all the usual sites, I am leaning toward a 3 inch "medium" layer from "Foam Sweet Foam" ($400) since they claim to sell only "natural" latex. Some recent posts seem to imply that the natural latex is a bit more dense than the blended latex.(?) Thanks for any thoughts or comments. |
