I wanted a Dunlop latex mattress for my Mom, but all the talk about return policy and the fact that Flobeds is having a sale right now has me considering the Flobeds Posture Zone-on-Point Talalay Latex Mattress for my Mom. It looks to me that I can get split cores for even a Full, a very nice touch which would give me more configuration options because my Mom sleeps alone and I could set up the two sides of the bed at different firmnesses and she could sleep on either one side or the other (she does that now). None of the other mattresses I've looked at has offered split sides for a Full. My Mom is 80, a side sleeper, is 5'3", weighs 105 lbs, and has occasional knee pain on her current 30-year-old PU foam mattress. She says she wants a soft mattress, so I'm thinking (Soft | Soft) with (Soft | Medium). Because it's zone-on-point, if I understand that correctly, even with the (Soft | Soft) layer I would have a medium strip in there. The foundation is going to be a SmartBase steel foundation. In addition to my reticence over going with Talalay, I'm also concerned that if I later decided to add a topper that the mattress/foundation would be too high. This Flobeds mattress is 11.25" thick. Any thoughts? Philly888 This message was modified Mar 29, 2008 by Philly888

Philly888. I am glad you mother loves the beds and sheets. I also love my beds and sheets. I also love the super soft latex pillow (comes in three softness variations and I chose the softest one) but Dave sent me a Queen and it is too high for me so I am using my Overstock Talalay natural latex pillows that are a tiny bit higher and firmer than I like but are very comfortable to me. I was going to try out the standard size pillow in soft but I got too busy with tax season. My sheets fit my bed perfectly and are not too short or too long since I have a Queen Bed and three layers with a topper. I also love flannel sheets in the winter time. Thanks for posting the update. |
