I weight over 300 lbs and I am 6' 1", my wife weighs around 220 lbs and is 5' 3".  If we choose a latex mattress where the layers on the first side are Xfirm/firm/medium and the second side Firm/medium/soft in Dunlop and compare it to a mattress configured the same firmness layers in Talalay would one be more likely to take a permanent impression then the other in a given time frame?  The assumption is that the Talalay and Dunlop are both from a quality source and neither are of suspect origin.

 

I am asking this as I am getting radically different answers from on-line vendors some of who's products have consistently good reviews on this forum; leading me to believer they are not flakes or fly-by-night operations.  Specifically it was noted that in this configuration my wifes side, based on the soft upper layers, would take an impression in as little as 3 to 4 years if we went with Talalay whereas the Dunlop would not.

 

So I would appreciate feedback from anyone that has owned for at least several years a Dunlop or Talalay mattresses in a softer firmness layer and is a larger person.

 

Appreciate any advise anyone can offer.
