Nice design. It's a Lura-flex offset coil unit with a "pillow top" composed of six 3" thick blocks of Natural Talalay latex which can be arranged to provide firmer support in the middle third than the top and bottom. Mattress prices start at $3800 for a king and go up to $7000. For that price you darn well better get the best quality stuff. I do wonder why FloBeds doesn't offer something like this instead of their zone-on-point layer. It's possible that these folks have a patent on this design. I remember reading several patents that all had to do with various zoning techniques. Edit: They have a lower-priced line that starts at $1800 for a king for an all-latex mattress, but the mattresses in this line aren't component mattresses, don't offer any configurability, and dont' offer the configurable pillow top. http://www.norwalkmattress.com/LatexMattressespdf.pdf This message was modified Sep 21, 2007 by haysdb

YIKES!! No thanks. It's a nice idea, but my wallet doesn't carry that kind of cash. Interesting that they use LuraFlex springs! As you know, that's what we have under our various latex or PU foam. So far, so good in that department! When my mattress guy said that I should exchange my original pocketed coils for open offset, I was thinking that they would be those really rigid, firm type. In fact, at that point, I WANTED that! But, he assured me that the LuraFlex would still be more conforming, but also more supportive than the pocketed coils. <BR><BR>That would be good if FloBeds could come up with something like this. In fact, I was thinking I could do this myself, with the 1" layers of latex I have. I could cut them in half so the comfort levels are in different areas of my body. But on the other hand, I'm not all that keen on the latex right now! Sigh. |

| Interestingly the Lura-flex coil system can be found in quite a price range of mattresses, starting from well under $1000. Might be an idea for something to put under an Intelli-Gel topper. |
