foambymail memory foam - any one tried it or have any info on it?
| I keep considering this foam, but have no idea what it's like - who makes it, etc. I know haysdb did a big memory foam study a while back and wonder if anyone can speculate about what this stuff is. They say it is pink color, 5.5 lbs/c.f. and 15lbs ILD. That's a fist for me to see an ILD for memory foam. Has anyone bought it? |

I just received a 3" Queen 5.5lbs from Foam By Mail. The package I received is labelled 46lbs but weights about 35. Basically I received 4lb foam as did the poster above. I purchased off of their website and then Price Matched their foambymail ebay auction that references measurement of density by cubic foot not the foambymail_usa which is per 2 cubic feet. I went to fatwallet and checked out the "Cheaper-Peadic" thread (search for emattress) and found many people with the same issue. It appears this has begun this year. My quandry is, if I had not PMed to the ebay price and thus paid the full online price I wonder if they would have sent me the correct foam? haysdb, man if you find a way to roughly get the density of that irregular foambymail sample that would be sweet. I meen if their sample was low weight that would pretty much be the answer, hah. |

| Make sure and give them a negative feedback for misrepresenting their product. I will, too. |

The larger of my two samples is between 1.3 and 1.4 oz according to my analog postal scale. Figuring it would not be accurate at the lowest end of the scale, I first placed a weight on it then added the foam on top. I measured it at three different points on the scale and all were within the above range. The sample is not precisely regular in shape. I measured the minimums and maximums with a stainess steel ruler marked to a 1/16". Min: 3 13/16 x 3 7/8 x 1 7/8 = 27.7 in3 Max: 4 x 3 15/16 x 2 1/8 = 33.5 in3 Avg 30.6 in3 The density of my sample is ~4.75 lbs/ft3Notes:
