Mattress Forum

It seems most everyone here is familiar with FloBeds - the layers of three inch latex you choose your firmness.  A couple from OMI are similar. 

Still others use a core ranging from three inches to seven with anywhere from a two to three inch layer of softeness on either side making it flippable.   I am not unfamiliar with flipping a mattress to increase longevity, but the question arises about the end result on that softer layer after being under the firm layer - or am I over analizing?  

3" surrounded on either side by 2" - - or three layers of 3" thick varied firmness - - this is getting tiresome.   Firmness is up to me, I get that, but really would like to maximise my dollar and life of the mattress.

Thus far I am conversing with a company who carries OMI, Natura, and Englander and all are supposedly good brands, but boy are they different.  Southard uses Dunlop as their core everyone else seems to be on the Talalay page (though Englander has not replied to my query).
