foambymail latex - who owns it?
|
I am hoping to order a latex mattress in the near future and am strongly leaning towards foambymail as their prices fit my budget best. I know about the ongoing debate over where foambymail gets their latex from, but I'm willing to accept that. Any feedback from users who have ordered a latex mattress or topper from foambymail would be much appreciated. This message was modified Sep 30, 2007 by jiffy524

I received 2 3" toppers (the 20ILD and 32ILD), and 5" of Lux foam yesterday. Not to stray too far off-topic, but I was quite suprised how firm the Lux foam felt, even under 6" of latex. |
Re: foambymail latex - who owns it?
| Can the 3" 32 ILD support you without bottoming out on the LUX? |
Re: foambymail latex - who owns it?
| Eric, that's why we normally recommend half (or more) of that PU base to be 36ILD HQ foam. See my The perfect latex/PU foam thread. How did your 20 compare to your 32? My 1" 20 is very soft. |

My 1" 20 is very soft. Mine too, but the 32 is definately firmer. I read your thread but I was concerned about not having enough support. I have ordered another 2" of 32ILD to see if that helps, but I may have to rethink the core. |

Update: I must be getting used to it, slept good last night. It was the first morning in years I felt like I could have laid in bed all morning. Years will need to pass before I can say the FBM latex performs like latex from more expensive sources, but so far I am pleased. This message was modified Dec 5, 2007 by ericgl

I still haven't ordered my 32 ILD layer yet...I've been waiting for ericgl's review on firmness. I was worried that it might be too soft for me, but it's sounding like it's fairly firm and supportive. 3" of this 32 ILD latex may be the perfect combination with my 3" HD36 and 4" LUX if I go with foamorder's Diamond Quilted Case with the 2" quilted top.

I doubt it. It may be constructed of 2" of uncompressed material, but once quilted into the ticking it will be no more than an inch. |

They state that the case adds 2" to the foam thickness - it's probably not the same as having 2" of foam being that it's quilted in, but my previous Sealy Fenway had about 2" of quilting when it was new and still does along the top edges of the mattress. I think I'm going to order the 32 ILD latex from FBM first and keep and eye on the clearance section at foamorder for a 12" King case. That will give me 2" to soften it up more or add more LUX (or something else that's cheaper) to the bottom to add height. |
