https://healthychoicemattress.com/organic_collection/rose_mattress.htm Does it look like good quality? How about the company, how does that look as well? Just looking for your input! Thanks |
| That looks like a great bed.I am not familiar with them so I am not sure if it all 100% Natural latex. The way everything is worded it leads me to believe the 6" core is not Latex. Even so it looks to be a great bed. |

That's good news about being 100% latex. You may want to recommend they mention that on their website, as leaving it unknown leads consumers to speculate the worst. On a different note, I'd ask if their warranty also covers the bamboo encasement. I purchased some shirts made of bamboo fabric a couple of years ago, and have thrown them all into the garbage already. My experience with bamboo is that it doesn't last too long. Each of my three bamboo shirts developed tears in them after only a few dozen uses.The one which was a cotton/bamboo blend lasted longer. I'm done with bamboo fabric until they can figure out how to make it last. I have pure cotton dress shirts which are over ten years old which still look great. These have been worn hundreds of times.

There are not many manufatures of natural latex foam in country. The mattress manufature actually just covers it and layers it to their needs. So if it comfortable to you then I would say it is a great buy. I am not a big fan of the Bamboo fabrics as they do tear easier than cotton, but overall it seem to be a good mattress. |

I would ask them which layers are Talalay and which are Dunlop and ask again - maybe get it in writing! - that the core is 100% natural latex and of which process - Talalay or Dunlop. If the toppers are Talalay then it may be worth the price. But you can also buy 3" layers much cheaper at overnightmattress.com and build your own mattress with 3-4 layers, cheaper that way. Then just get a wool topper somewhere. For $1290 in a Queen you can get a 3" core of 36ILD Talalay + middle core of 3" 32ILD Talalay + 3" of 19ILD Talalay - that's 9" of Talalay in a Q for $1290, an excellent price imho. Check their prices on Toppers/cores: http://overnightmattress.com/itemMatrix.asp?GroupCode=LAT&eq=&MatrixType=1 I don't work for them nor have any interest in promoting them, other than to point out what looks like a great deal when I see one. With 120 day return privilege it looks very good and I had one good experience with them a few years ago. I wanted 2" but I may buy one of their 19ILD layers. I would look very carefully into their written exchange/return policy before buying. Before when I returned something from them it was a strict policy but they did make the refund to me. |

The cheapest place online I've found 100% natural latex is SLAB, and that will cost around $2k for 9" of 100% natural LI Talalay in queen size. A quality encasement using 1.5" or more of wool is at least another $500. This message was modified Jan 19, 2012 by megalops

Jim, That is an excellent idea. The Dunlop layer should be the core and the Talalay should be the chusioning layers.
The one thing about overnightmattress.com is the Talalay Latex they use blended latex and not 100% natural latex. Over 90% of the 100% natural latex sold my Latex international is a blened latex. By law they only have to have a very small percentage of 100% natural latex in the mattress to call it 100% natural latex. It is still better then most available, but not really any cheaper then you can get Blended Talalay Latex in many other places. It sounds like you have used them and they do honor their return policy so it sounds like a solid company to do business with and fair pricing. If you go that way you do want to use progressive layering and by that I mean you want to use a highest ILD on the bottom and each level above each layer should be = or lower ILD then the layer under it. Latex has gotten to be the most difficult to figure out over the past couple fo years and very misleading. You will see 85/15, 60/40 as examples of blended latex. Most would think it is 85% natural Latex or 60% natural latex, but what it really means is it is 85% Blened Latex and 15% Ploy or 60% Blened Latex and 40% Poly. The 85% or 60% blended could actually only be 5% Natural Latex in either one or it Could 50% natural latex. Even could be less or more than those numbers and the only way for you to find out is to contact latex international and ask them directly. I dont want to talk the company you are talking about. They sound like a good company and they have treated you well by offering a good product at a fair price and good customer service. That is hard to find in compaines now and when you find one better hold on to them :) Dave |
