hi. i'm in the process of looking for a latex mattress for the futon frame i'm going to be buying shortly. my studio is small so i plan to get a futon which i'm going to fold and unfold into and from a sofa/bed every day. i've never owned a latex mattress before, so i'm wondering what you experienced folks on this forum would recommend: getting one 6" dunlop core or two 3" cores? also, from those of you who own dunlop mattresses, do you think the mattress will be easy enough to fold into a couch every day in the first place? btw, i'm a fairly light and lean guy at around 5'7" and 130 lbs., so if you also have some recommendations for what you think may be good ILDs for me that would also be greatly appreciated. i tend to like a softer mattress, but that is also supportive (i sleep in every position. side, stomach, back - just depends on the night) i've read through a lot of posts on this forum and you folks seem extremely knowledgeable. a latex rookie like myself would greatly appreciate as much advice from you guys as possible. thanks! =) This message was modified Mar 29, 2008 by brownbrian

| Brownbrian, we all are happy for you that we were of help and you now have a Dunlap/Talalay Latex combination bed. Please keep us updated. |
| Brownbrian, glad my advice was helpful. Your mattress sounds so comfy. You really do like a soft bed if you find the 22/26 combination a bit on the firm side! I'm guestimating that the Dunlop mattress I slept on was probably a 26 and it always seemed really soft to me. Some vendors still sell super soft 16 ILD Talalay, but most of them have stopped carrying it because it has a tendency to compress after awhile--just in case you're tempted to go even softer on top. I think you'll find that the latex will soften up a bit in time, and once you get used to the new sleep surface it will probably seem perfect to you. Here's to many years of great sleep! |
