Please help me figure out which FloBed to buy. FloBeds recommended for me to buy the Posture VZone because I am a side sleeper and the VZone is designed for side sleepers. However, I do not want to buy that one because I do not like that it has velcro on it. When the velcro wears out, then what am I supposed to do? Besides that, I don't think I'd ever use that functionality anyhow of rolling the layers across each other and whatnot. Additionally, I do not like how the latex in the Vzone seems to be divided into sections like that because instinctually it looks to me like it would make it easier for the layers to rip apart over time. So...what else should I buy from FloBeds? I do not really understand the differences between the beds listed on their website. For an example of something that confuses me: their "Natural Latex" model lists a feature of "9 Inch Organic Cotton. " What does that mean, exactly? Does that mean that part of the mattress uses innersprings and/or PU foam? Are there drawbacks to the 9 inches of cotton? Is it better to get an all latex mattress with no inches of cotton? If you guys could break those issues down for me, and also all the other issues I should be aware of regarding the differences in FloBed models, in laymen's terms, I'd appreciate that a lot. |

The examples you provided where velcro wears down appears to result from opening and closing the velcro multiple times.
By the way to others...I bought the FloBeds mattress pad (all cotton) to put over the mattress although I wanted a heavier, higher thread count one but judging by all the concerns out there about it affecting the mattress feel, I am sticking with this one as it is actually pretty thin as far as mattress pads go. Not sure how much thinner you could find in an all cotton thread count (and stuffing) pad. It's a Simmons 200 thread count. I would love to remove it and try it without as others have...but have to admit...this wonderful latex bed is shared with my wonderful dog... (or is that me sharing her bed with her?!! |

Hi TJ, Just to be sure... the mattress pad you bought from Flobeds IS the Simmons 200 thread count? Do you know the exact name and model #? I'd like to see if I can find it at a local retailer.
