I just went to the Foam sweet Foam showroom and tested their mattresses. Both my wife and I loved them, but did not love the price. The three layer (3" each) matresses were $1799. We were hoping to stick below $1200.
That being said I think we are going to try the DIY route to lower the cost. I have spent the last hour looking on this blog for places to order from, but I have only came up with a few. So far its Foambymail, foamsourse, sleeplikeabear, mattresses.net. The prices and, I would assume, the quality vary on these four, but are there any more? Can somebody recommend a decent lower cost supplier that is maybe better then FBM. It seems FBM is a bit of a crap shoot. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Also, does anybody have any recommendations for the cover? Foamsweetfoam had a nice wool cover, but it seems most of these places sell a zippable terry cloth one. One of the reasons that I am getting latex is that I have a high allergy to dust mites and Im worried that the wool cover can harbor those crazy pests. Thanks for all your help in advance. On a side note, has anybody mixed a dunlop base with talalay for the middle and comfort layers. It seems that the firmness and density of dunlop would work great as a base, but I usually see mattresses that are all of one or all of the other. This message was modified Jan 30, 2011 by thesultan4
