I'm almost ready (I hope) to make a decision. I compared both SleepEZ's 10,000 and 13,000 models with FloBeds' Posture Select & Posture Deluxe models in both blended and natural/organic. I've made myself a pro/con/price chart between SleepEZ & FloBeds, and SleepEZ comes out way ahead on the price, which is a huge deal for me. Including foundation, legs and shipping, SleepEZ's top of the line product comes out for less $ than FloBeds' cheapest product. There are no sales right now at FloBeds, and I know people have said they followed the site daily and ended up getting refunds as sales occurred but I probably won't do that for 90 days. Unless someone can tell me something that makes the $$$ difference worth it, lets assume I'm going with SleepEZ. But I have just a few more issues and hope anyone with experience can help me out. 1) What are the reasons to get the 13" mattress over the 10"? 2) Blended vs. natural Talalay... still can't decide who is right and who is wrong on this! 3) SleepEz says I can mix Dunlop and Talalay layers, is there a good reason to do this? Like Dunlop for the bottom layer(s)?

im not sure what they mean by 2oz of wool...if thats for the whole mattress thats about equivalent to how much wool is in the top of an S brand bed when they mix it with polyester. 2oz per square yard perhaps? still not very much, thats literally just an ultra thin wool lining, if you could even call it that. 2" of wool depending on how its carded would probably be between 20~40 oz per square yard. maybe you should just email sleepez to clarify? |
Thanks for all the help here. FloBeds is having a sale now, but still more than the most expensive option at SleepEz.  Anyway, I guess I could make up the difference in the wool padding with an added wool topper if necessary. Budgy, that silk duvet you posted info about in the other thread looks gorgeous, I would never have thought to look for something like that. I looked at their website... a girl could get positively spoiled on that stuff. |
| yes....we are quite used to those from the feminine persuasion getting a little excited about their products, lol |

Budgy, on the Ergosoft thread I had a question for you regarding Latex Green. Since Dunlop latex was one of Cynicaljones questions, can you answer this? In regards to the labeling of their latex they seem to measure like memory foam, 4.75 lb. and 16-18 IFD. Is that pretty accurate or is it really more dense and firm than 16-18 IFD.

| it is wierd to measure the density of it. I don't buy direct from Latex Green so I really couldn't answer. as to whether it would feel firmer than memory foam of the same density that is a pretty bold generalization to make. you can change how firm or soft memory foam is without changing the density. |

Did you ever decide on which mattress to get? If it makes any difference in your deliberations, let me say that I've been working with my daughter on her bed. She's been using the old comforter for several days now, and her complaints are lessened. I still think it will be a good idea for me to get her a wool protector (not topper, she wouldn't tolerate any shifting around of the topper) and since she's switched back to her old, thinner comforter, I'll be buying her a new lightweight comforter as well (alas, not the silk one Budgy linked - that looks like more than I can afford).

I am so close I can feel it now. I am considering the Ergosoft (Latex Green) 16-18ILD, I may ask for samples. I sent them an email, and haven't heard back yet. The company does take returns, and RMM doesn't. But Absoluteonsale doesn't say what they do with their returns, so that is a concern of mine. Let us know Kimberly what you think of the wool mattress pad you get for your daughter. |
| I haven't been able to decide yet either. Right now I'm debating platform bed vs. foundation and legs from one of the two above-mentioned companies. |

Ask yourself if you want returned layers, do you? If not do you mind $50 copay for new layers from Flobeds? No payment for new layer required for Sleepeze. You said you don't want convoluted layer. You still have to pay $30 or so to return shipping the layers you return. Have you ever tried latex before Cynicaljones? If not perhaps you do need to be able to exchange layers. Both places will do that. Have you thought of building your own? You can build one for $1200 or under for a 9" latex bed. You can make a 12" for $1600. I am estimating at $400 a layer which is Foamsweetfoam's price (natural talalay). RMM is cheaper for the less ILD layers. You could have an extra layer in the closet for swapping layers out for $2000. There you are up to almost a Flobed or Sleepeze bed. Personally I like 1 1/2" layers or 2" layers for more flexibility. I don't want to be moving 3" layers around at the top anyway. This message was modified May 10, 2010 by Leo3

I don't want to be moving 3" layers around at the top anyway. I don't really mind getting someone else's returned layers, I would trust that they've been inspected and cleaned. I have thought of building my own, I have looked at Foam By Mail and read about them here. The price is right, but I'm not sure I want to take a chance with them, in case it doesn't work out for me or the quality is not so great. Their 1", 2" and 3" layers only come in medium and soft, according to their site. They are still on my larger "consider" list, though. Since I only need a Twin XL, the cost would be even less for me. I'm still not even sure what to do about a foundation. One of theirs (SleepEZ, FloBeds, etc...) on legs, on a metal frame, platform bed, euro-slats? FloBeds has their Euro-slats on sale now if you buy one of their mattresses. But still cost more money, and you're right, I don't like that convoluted layer. I don't like the way the sample felt under the cover swatch and I'm concerned it would wear out faster. This message was modified May 10, 2010 by cynicaljones
