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.

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.

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.
