Okay. Pardon me but I have a few questions. I would like to know if Talalay and Dunlop go by the same ILD scale. Meaning: 1. That is a soft Talalay same as a soft Dunlop? 2. A medium talalay same as medium Dunlop? 3. A firm/xfirm talalay same as firm/xfirm Dunlop respectively?
and my other questions are: 4. Which company would be better if I buy a latex mattress? Flobeds or SleepEZ? 5. do they sell the same manufacturer latex? thank you.

Both Flobeds and Sleepez sell both Dunlop and Talalay latex. They both source their Talalay from LI. Both sell Dunlop, 100% natural Talalay, and blended Talalay latex mattresses. There are differences between the Flobeds and Sleepez mattresses. The Flobeds mattress will be three layers of 3" latex plus a 2" soft topper. The Sleepez mattress will be three layers of 3" latex (if you get the 10000 model, or four layers of 3" latex if you get the 13000 model). Sleepez doesn't put a soft 2" topper on top of their mattress like Flobeds does. Flobeds has a different mattress cover, it soft knit cotton with, IMO, more wool, quilted on all sides of the cover. The Sleepez mattress cover is woven cotton and as far as I can tell, only has wool incorporated in the top of the cover. Sleepez offers free shipping. Flobeds does not. Sleepez will generally be less expensive than Flobeds. With the extra cost of Flobeds you get the extra 2" topper layer and a nicer cover. Which one is right for you is a matter of your personal preference, no one can tell you whether Flobeds or Sleepez is "better" than the other. They are both quality mattresses. You should phone and talk to both companies to see which one fits your needs better.
The thing that bothers me about flobeds and Sleep EZ is that I cannot try the mattress out before I buy it. It would have been so much convenient to try out different ILDS to find what suits me before buying the mattress. This message was modified Jun 10, 2010 by roy1

| They don't advertise Dunlop on their site, but I'm pretty sure, from my conversations with them and from what others have said, that they will order it if that's what the customer wants. I didn't want Dunlop so I didn't pay much attention, so I could be wrong. |

Sleepez doesn't put a soft 2" topper on top of their mattress like Flobeds does. You can get a SleepEZ mattress with two 3" layers and a 1½" soft topper... the 8500 model. But this mattress would not be for a heavier person, as there are only 7½" of latex total in it. |
| Ok, I never looked at the 8500 model. But that one is two 3" base layers and a topper. Flobeds and Sleepez don't really seem to have any directly comparable products that are exactly like each other. |
