Longevity of Latex Foam?
|
Everyone is posting about how their foam-on-top-of-coil mattresses crap out with permanent depressions after anywhere from a few months to a year. I'm wondering what people's experience is with the longevity of the latex mattresses? I'm about to spring for a 10" latex mattress set (yes, all latex) but it's about $2.5k, and I'm worried I'm going to end up with the same problem. That's a lot of money to lay out to end up with back-wrenching body depressions. For the record, I am going with the Custom Comfort Mattress Company (local company in Orange County, CA) latex mattress, they use LI blended Talalay latex (Talatech), there will be a six inch firmer core with 2" softer latex on the top and on the bottom (because their mattresses are two sided). Has anyone here had a latex mattress for a significant length of time (say 3-5 years) and have experience with whether the latex holds up? |

I would think 6" total thickness would be a minimum. It may work out for you with that configuration, I'm not absolutely sure. I guess you could always add another layer if need be. I don't have your curves, but I suppose they would be more significant if you were a side sleeper. It is always a tough call with this do it yourself stuff. So if you can, buy from a place with a reasonable return/exchange policy, that might be your best bet. I hope you find what you are looking for. |

MequonJim, Thanks again for the reply and your opinions!! I apologize if you've already posted this in another thread, but for reference, could you please let me know what kind of foundation you have your bed on? I was reading in some of the other posts, that this can really make a difference in how firm a bed feels! Thanks!!! |

| I have a platform bed that is very sturdy and the slat spacing is 1.5" I would consider it very firm with no flex. |
