| I've tried memory foam and hated it...was hot and didn't like the feeling of slowly sinking. Tempurpedic gives this sensation also. I was very impressed with latex though. I tried the latex supreme at OMF. It was 6" of 60/40 latex blend at 32 ILD and 2" 19 ILD topper. I am around 250 pounds and it seemed like it gave good support while still being comfortable. I've read alot about the other companies latex beds but unfortunately would like to try them out first. Will the other brands feel like the OMF bed? Why is natural latex better then synthetic? I don't read much about the OMF latex on this board...is it considered lower on the scale then others? |

Lurking a long time here but finally decided to step in and comment. Learned a lot here and thanks to all. I would say the OMF mattresses are less expensive...not sure about lower end. My wife and I bought a latex supreme and the regular latex after laying on them for hours in the store....all day..... I thought the Supreme was more comfortable and my wife thought the regular one was more comfortable. We also wanted the adjustable beds for less than most bought separately when you get them together. OMF doesn't let you buy the bed separately from the mattress. My Supreme (my weight 150#) felt best for both of us AFTER we got home. (We got two Long Twins to go on the adjustable beds.) After some switching to try out each others, I, being the larger child, reclaimed my Supreme for good and bought her a 2 inch soft latex topper from Sleepez. (That was a good purchase but I think I should have tried to convince FloBeds to sell me a convoluted 2in topper for her bed since I think it is a little softer and my wife's is still a little hard (I think)). I think with Flobeds you will be able to more easily fine tune the bed to your choice and their topper would seems to be pretty unique since other sites (that I was interested in buying from) don't seem to list a convoluted topper. We have Dormier mattress protectors on order. On the good side, OMF latex should be high quality since it is from Latex International and the mattresses are true double sided. You just don't have that layering adjustability that you do with the Flobeds or Sleepez. There is also some little bit of PU foam somehow mixed up in the upper layer from some reason. They are a good company to deal with but you can't return for your money back but can exchange for an exchange fee within the first year for comfort reasons. We've only had them a short time but so far I'm impressed. I guess if I had more money I would have bought a Flobed for the quality and layering and potential of the V-Zone mattress. But for a relatively inexpensive latex bed, I think I made a good decision. The jury is still out on the adjustable bed issue. Still like to visit here for new opinions, information, etc. |
