Comparison of Specifications for Foam Mattresses
|
I am having trouble finding complete specifications on the "major" different brands of foam mattresses (visco or latex/other). Is there a web site that provides this info? I have gone to Company websites and consumer review websites, but the most complete information I have gathered, so far, is on the Tempur-Pedic, which is not surprising. I found a site with ILDs for several, but it appeared dated without the numbers for some major brands that are now offering foam mattresses. These are the Specs I wish to compare: Density - lbs per sq foot --- of ALL the layers of foam that comprise the mattress, not just the top layer. ILD Rating (Indentation Load Deflection) or IFD (???) Is Foam rated Highly Resilient (HR)? Y/N Thanks in advance for any directions in finding this info. Best, LooKout_n_c |

if you want real specifications for a mattress, and would like to have more say about how it is built, then look into companies like SleepEZ, FloBeds, and Savvy Rest. There is also a company called Habitat that gives you a lot less choice but can give you a great deal of specification about their mattresses, and a great deal of information about latex, as they have one of the best websites with videos that I'm aware of. Habitat, in my humble opinion, also has the easiest most straightforward and specific proposition for a latex mattress. They, as well as FloBeds, also sell air beds and waterbeds. Most of the people who frequent this website, for any period of time, have many good things to say about FloBeds, Savvy Rest, and Sleep EZ. You can check the archives for information on these companies. This message was modified Oct 5, 2009 by eagle2

| I bought a Bragada that was suppose to be similiar to the TP Allura, and the foam seemed soft and unsupportive to me. I did not get the firmest model, but my impression was that it does not provide the same support as TP. I question all of the glowing reviews they get. Since they only take returns if you hassle them, I think I would look elsewhere. |
