NEED HELP. Please recommend a extermely high quality mattress.
|
I have been looking for a extremely high quality mattress. Here are my requirements Size: Queen size Features: Must be able to comfortably + independently support sleepers, one rollover/movement would absolutely not disturb the other. I am open mind to any new mattress technologies as long as it can independently support each sleeper (i.e. 5000+ separate/pocketed coils..etc) Location: Ideally Canada location (Toronto, Ontario). If my ideal mattress is for sale only in US, I am open mind. Budget: None at the moment. I know next to nothing about the current mattress brands or mattress technologies. Any info would be grateful Thanks. This message was modified Apr 26, 2009 by zollen

| My 30 years mattress industry experience has put me on a latex mattress. Knowing what I know I would never sleep on any kind of spring mattress if i had my choice. Just stay away from pillow top designs. Yes they are pretty but they are not durable. Honestly, bare bones latex core with a nice soft topper is the best way to go. My kids can jump up and down on mom's side and never disturb me one bit. |

Hey, Porchdog(Gary); Good to have someone here with industry experience! Many of us are still tweaking what we have(tho some have waterbeds, LOL!). I had a latex mattress, heavy thing, and it developed butt-dents in a fairly short time. Solid latex, no PU foam, and I got really uncomfortable on it. I developed a dislike for the boingy feeling. What other insihts do you have for the wide world of beds? Kait |

Zollen, You could look into www.foamite.com ... They have two locations in the Greater Toronto Area ... They have pretty good products, and you can build your own with them in CAD $ but I would recommend trying out their stuff and see if you can buy a portion from them and then order the Latex from FBM. With the CAD $ coming up against the greenback, I am considering ordering the Euro Slats from Flobeds as a base, ... wife and I could have our own support the way we like it ... get the Soy based Foam from Foamite ... and then order the latex from FBM. Also, Ikea's mattress is pretty good ... 85% natural latex, only 15% Polyurethane. I am considering putting that on top of the flexible slatted base as well .... Keep us updated as I am in the same area as you and could use some extra eyes. Cheers. |

Their site is http://www3.telus.net/public/araam/hypnos/hypnosstory.pdf<BR>They look pretty expensive, but maybe worth checking out. They use pocketed coils, which are the type that does not transfer motion. They offer different firmnesses of the coils, too, but be careful of that. The higher the number, the thinner the gauge, and possibly the quicker they'd wear out. <BR>Anyway, just a FYI. Let us know what you find!<BR>Kait Hypnos are a good brand, using good quality materials and techniques to make a good quality and long lasting bed. the number of springs going up is not directly related to the gauge of wire used going down, it can also be a combination of diffrent nesting patterns used and also posturefill (like a layer of topping that contains pocked springs usually about 3 coils deep) layers or some companys using the spring count in the base to 'bulk up' the total. saying that, it can also be a lighter gauge wire is used but importantly this does not mean a shorter lifespan as each spring is holding less weight and thus under less pressure. |
