I am going to the photos here for better spacing. Link to surgery discussion.

I forget what the actual price was for that mattress set. I want to say somewhere in the $1500-1700 range. My latex was listed at $2399 and I got it for $1999. after dealing with the owner of the business. I know the spring mattresses were ALL less than the latex mattresses with foundation. In any event, they are all custom built to order and thus more than in the local furniture stores. Yes, these are probably for the New England market only, but it shows what CAN be done locally. |
My Cannon futon with springs, is made in the USA, $300 to my door. They also make "made-to-order" mattresses as do MANY companies. Took 2 weeks for the hay smell to go away but it's the best, cheapest "base" with 2 inchs of latex from Overstock, while it's not my cup of tea it sure is working for my daughter. I admire the do-it-yourself, repurpose attitude on this site! More power to all of us! Alice |
Updated photos of Walmart wool filled topper (about 6.5 lb.s, 1- 1.25" inch thick). Also, zoning piece of latex from foamonline. Clearer inferior to the rockymountainmattress 100% talalay. The foamonline is suppose to come Latex International, but from the photos I would say not. Might even be 100% synthetic. Seems like it is less than the 24 ILD is suppose to be. Not too happy with the quality (also only 1.75" thick - suppose to be 2"). The rockymountain is a generous cut, at a bit over 2", so there is a bit of a height difference. In use though the zone worked as it should. Definitely softer with less pressure. At first I did not think it made a huge difference, but when I lie on the other side of the bed I can definitely notice a significant difference.
