I still am in the market for a couple latex toppers. Overstock doesn't give much info about what exactly they are selling, and even if they did, there would seem to be reason to question the accuracy of what they say, Foambymail has some pretty cheap talalay, in choice of IDLs, but there are some reports of the stuff they sell not holding up well. Any other vendors I should be considering? I prefer cheap over places that offer exchanges, returns and so forth. |

Someone did say there were footprints on the O-stock latex (so it looked like) but I don't think she thought it was used, just handled badly! Lets hope it wasn't used! I don't think RM prices went up, I have been looking at their mattresses and they have a natural talalay (from LI) 9" queen size for $1389.95. It is zoned core 7" with 2" topper with firmness of your choice. That's not too bad. They also have a Dunlop (Latex Green) that is 7" (probably not thick enough). Check it out. Foamsweetfoam also has zoned latex mattresses (I think, it does get confusing). |

Leo, if you wanna bet, I'll bet that RM's prices FOR TOPPERS did go up, at least for the Natural Talalay topper. In fact if you look carefully they even still have a price marked $5 cheaper on one page, but then it has the higher price right below it. See here: http://www.rockymountainmattress.com/talalaylatextoppermediumplush-p-86.html It says "starting at $104.95" but then right below in the menu the lowest price is $109.95. And I could be wrong, but I THINK before it started at $99.95. Not sure about that, though. In any case it's a fair price with free shipping. |

These guys seem to have good prices. They carry toppers in 22 ILD, but perhaps they would special order one for you. http://www.latexmattresscompany.com/latex-mattress-toppers.html |

Not sure if that is still available. I think demand is going up for the 100% natural talalay, so their new purchases might be coming in at higher costs from Latex International. |
I don't see why Sleeplikeabear is $538 for the natural talalay, that is steep. Foamsource is $529. That is too bad RM raised their prices, also too bad they don't have higher ILDs. I may say the heck with natural and get blended latex  While I am complaining, why is it that they only sell the queen size in glued pieces? When I know LI does make queen size sheets now. On Sleeplikeabear website they say they can get a piece without glue but it costs extra, huh??? I get tired of prices going up and no extra money coming in. Where do they think we are getting extra money to pay these high prices? Have they heard of competition and fair pricing? The longer I procrastinate and decide what to do the more likely I won't be able to pay the high prices they want. This message was modified Apr 11, 2010 by Leo3

I sympathize with you Leo. I can't afford the 1" Talalay layer I want right now, either. My wife keeps saying why is it these businesses around town don't seem to realize that we're in a recession? Actually, we're personally in more of an economic depression. I guess whether one thinks it's a recession or a depression depends on if you're working or if you've been out of work for some time... Sandman thanks for letting us know RM DID raise their prices. I was beginning to think I might be nuts. Glad to see my memory wasn't wrong, after all. I wonder if LI raised their prices. I know one thing is that shipping seems to be going up and up at most places, so maybe their free shipping caused the price changes. |

The companies that keep raising prices and if people can't and won't pay the steep prices they will inevitably go under. It has happened before and it will happen again. I am amazed at the companies and stores that have closed their doors in the last several years. Has anyone bought queen size latex toppers that have no glue seam other than RMM? I wish I could order directly from Latex International. I may email them or call and see who they sell the queen toppers to without seams. |
