I'm looking for the best source for a 100% talalay latex mattress and thanks to this forum came across many options. The only beds Ive found locally to lie on are pure latex bliss, so Im hoping to find something comparable online for a better price. The two best options I've found (price-wise) are mattresses.net and myluxurymattress.com. I was suprised by the return policy of myluxurymattress.com - 120 days and they pay shipping both for delivery and return. That is far more generous than anyone else Ive come across, but I havent found much discussion of them here (That may sound like spam, but Im wondering if theres a catch or if there are other sources with a similar return policy) - has anyone dealt with them? I'm sold on latex and my wife liked the feel of the Pure Latex Bliss Nutrition model - from what Ive found that construction is:
all the above are talalay blend. I thought the mattresses.net Queen Adjustable Ultra Plush Latex Sleep System for $1095 would give me something comparable for about 1/2 the price. Also the Aristocrat queen from myluxurymattress.com is $1400.
I see getting it right can be difficult especially without trying it first - in fact I cant believe Im even considering buyng a matress I havent seen and tried first, so the return/exchange situation is important to me. Dont want to rack up shipping fees on exchanging layers. So Im lookng for feedback on others experiences with the process and specifically with those online retailers.

Thanks, great info! I'll have to see if there is anyplace I can pick up a similar cover for a DIY... |
| Any idea why PLB uses the 1" of base foam on the bottom? I'm looking to do a DIY PLB mattress and wonder why they add the 1" of base foam on the bottom. |

I started looking at PLB as a potential mattress about two weeks ago and did not hear about the 1" foam base until two days ago. I started getting really upset because the sales guy I talked to AND the customer care representive I e-mailed from the company told me they were 100% latex with no foam, period, and I had another experience where sales person lied to me. So I did some more research and it turns out that as of Sept 1st, all of their mattresses except for the Peace no longer have the foam base. I started looking right after they implented the change which is why no one mentioned it to me I guess. I don't know why they put the foam in there to begin with, but it seems like the wisened up. If you are looking to buy one and not having the foam is important to you, I would make sure you double check that the mattress store is not pulling from any backstock they might have and is ordering a newly made one from the manufactuer. |

I am not sure what purpose does this 1" soft latex serve at the bottom. |
