Does ANYONE here like talalay latex mattresses?????
| As some of you may know from my other thread, I have an all talalay mattress on the way... 3 different layers, made with 100% natural Latex International foam. But from searching around these forums, I don't see anything positive about the talalay latex, as people seem to prefer dunlop. Most of the comments I see are the talalay "pushes back" and "can't get comfortable". I have only tried it in the store, and it was nice, didn't sleep on it yet....but I have one on order that will be showing up in 2 weeks. I'm starting to think twice after reading these forums though!! Does anyone have positive experience ? |

My SleepEZ 10k blended talalay went pretty far south for me on their pine slatted foundation. My previously injured right shoulder was pretty beat up after couple nights rolling onto it. Moving the 10k onto a 'box spring' type foundation didn't quite pan out either. I know many are wary of chemicals in Tempurpedic, but I haven't turned colors yet and I'm still lovin' this 8" Cloud. But SleepEZ customer service was A++ for sure. This message was modified Jan 26, 2012 by slpngoc

Seems like a common construction is a combo of dunlop + talalay. This is what SleepEZ uses and several other groups as well. ~6" of dunlop core for a firmer base + 2-3-4" of talalay on top for the comfort layer. Our Berkeley Ergonomics bed arrives today-- like Sandman that will be talalay over pocket coils. I do have to agree with slpngoc-- we also tried the SleepEZ (our was 8" rather than his 10")- but on the wood foundation it was just too firm! I never could put my finger on the problem but for us, 8" of latex over wood foundation just wasn't enough cush and I always felt like I was bottoming out when I would sit up and stuff. |

| We have 2 beds of 100% Talalay where the latex was sourced from Latex international. (our bed and kids bed) We have different configurations but my husband and I LOVE our bed and the kid loves theirs! Try not to worry till you try it. I bet you will like it. Everyone is different and I never really got the impression people here like Dunlop more - seems to be pretty split. Latex International makes a great product and as I said we love our beds. |
