PU foam as core - is this one Ok?
|
Hello everyone, This is my first post, but I have been lurking here for a while. I was wondering the use of PU foam as a core of the mattress, which will be topped with either latex or memory foam. (maybe going memory foam for a Tempur clone). I'm changing bed size, so I cannot re-use my old mattress. I'm 5'8, broad shouldres, small waist, 175lbs side sleeper. Since I live outside of the USA and there is no foam supplier in my town it makes the ordering by the internet close to useless (the shipping and handling would be very expensive - this option is out). I was wondering if the IKEA Favang (FÅVANG) would be ok for a core (there is an ikea somewhat close to where I live). Firmness: Firm. Ticking: 68 % cotton, 32 % polyester Comfort material: High-resilience polyurethane foam (cold foam) 2.2 lb/cu.ft., Polyester wadding Protective fabric: Non-woven polypropylene Length: 79 1/2 " Width: 59 7/8 " Thickness: 5 1/2 " US price: 300$. if i use a latex or memory foam topper with it, would it be ok? would this mattress as a core, be similar to tempurpedic core? I also tried the IKEA latex mattresses the Eugenes, I found that is was very soft. the erfjord the most expensive ikea mattress was ok. i wasn't sure if it was too soft or not. at that price, i don't think i could afford a topper. I was not able to try the ELSFJORD since the store doesn't physically carry it but can order it, it is a lot cheaper price wise than the other one and supposedly firmer. It might be too hard for me, but at 500$, i could buy a topper to supplement it. 5 1/2" 5 comfort zones Ticking: 68 % cotton, 32 % polyester Comfort material: Synthetic latex, Polyester/viscose (rayon) fiber wadding, Polyester wadding Protective fabric: Non-woven polypropylene Fire-retardant interliner: 100 % cotton any input would be welcome. Thank you. |
