I'm trying to buy a good quality (soft luxurious) bed and these are the contents as per the label. Its an Airloom @ $3000.00 Does this seem like a good quality bed or am i in danger of getting ripped off? I have no idea what to look for. All i know is that it is SUPER comfy but i worry that it won't be comfy in a few weeks or will sag prematurly. Latex 54 % Polyfoam pad 39 % Viscose foam 5 % Poly silk 2 % Wool 2 % |

I have to agree with others. If I'm paying $3000 for a bed it better be all latex and should be Talalay.
Just my 2 cents .... |

| I agree with most of the others. Too much poly foam and will be comfortable for about 9 months to a year and that's about it. You could buy a very good latex mattress for that much money. |
| Wow...thanks everyone for your input and info. Unfortunatly this leaves me in an even bigger delima as the only other bed i liked had almost the same specs only it had 10% less latex and 10% more memory foam (and the same amount of poly foam) so even my plan B appears to not be a good option either. I did try an all Latex mattress with a (removeable) latex pillow top (92 latex, 8 poly foam) but it was a notch too mushy. Ugggg....i am so confused what to do. The last thing i want to do is make a 3000.00 mistake and only get a year of comfort and then have things go bad. |

There is something to be said about zoned latex mattresses and I think they would be less than $3,000. |

I am in Calif but we do have a chain of mattress stores that do custom latex mattress. I sort of liked a set up where the mattress was 100% latex and the removable pillow top was 92% latex and 8% poly foam but it was all sort of mushy...not the 'spring-back' type like the Airelooms that i found and liked. Here is the link to the aireloom at Macys that i can pick up for 3000.00....but it too has 39% poly and i am afraid it will not last long now based on the tips here in this forum. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=555902&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results I would soooo appreciate anyone who could take a look at this link and tell me what you think. Its materials are below but not much different from the 1st Aireloom bed above...just 10% less latex and 10% more memory foam; Latex 44% Polyfoam pad 36% Viscose foam 16% Poly silk 2% Wool 2% Polyfiber pad 1% Fiber 1

| I really gotta say after all of my extensive looking particularly at the high end mattress market...Airelooms pricing (or Kluft, same company) is soooo out of wack and ridiculous. I am sure it depends on the store you buy from, but these 'retail' or 'sale' prices are ridiculous for what you are getting. |

About the Aireloom, I'd personally be most concerned about this -
* Quilting layers: high-loft and FR fibers; 1.5" convoluted foam; 1.5" high-density foam
FR is for 'fire retardant' fiber. Laced with chemicals to meet the 2007 new standard. What is that 'high-loft' fiber? Some kind of polyurethane batting? The 1.5" convoluted and 1.5" HD are most likely poly foam. Will it hold up? ------------ Other than that, you could call up Shawn today at SleepEZ, ask some Q's. Super nice, not pushy. And, btw, if you do buy,, no delivery fee and ... no sales tax. You're in CA, they're in AZ. No sales tax! I went from a standard open coil > Stearns and Foster traditional > Serta iComfort memory foam > SleepEZ all latex .... all since May this year. The latex is the best, just so you know :) -------------------------------------------------
Hah, funny, Macy's has a typo in ad for Aireloom - says 'cool disco' memory foam . hehehehe
Wow, 14" mattress height! Yikes need low foundation for that! I dunno how happy I'd be with it. For that price, I'd hope the quilt and HD layers hold up. That's some $$ This message was modified Aug 27, 2011 by slpngoc
