Parklane Mattresses of Oregon seems to have some great deals on mattresses. However, I dont want a soft talalay core but I did notice they had some "eco friendly" line where it includes a 5" "soy based foam core" topped by talalay latex.

 

Anybody know if these are any good? They are certainly dirt cheap

My other consideration was going innerspring and latex combo, but I really know nothing about springs....

Anybody know if their innerspring/latex combo mattresses are any good? All latex beds are just so damn heavy....

I tried the new McRoskey innersping, wool, latex mattress that was flippable. IT WAS TO DIE FOR.  It was $4k.

I dont even see that mattress on their website?

 

Is a good spring mattress (pocketed coils, combo) with latex on top going to be better than all latex?

It's the "Design by McRoskey" mattress.

I would imagine that springs + latex feels different than all latex.  The "S" companies seem to have spring + latex mattresses rather than all latex mattresses.  I'm not sure why.  Springs + latex probably feels different than all latex.  As for wheter it feels better or worse, that's subjective.  Will a spring + latex mattress last as long as all latex?  I don't know.  But if you take a standard spring + crappy foam mattress and replace the crappy foam with similar amount of latex, the usable lifetime will still be limited by the life of springs.

Perhaps someone on this forum who has experience selling all these mattresses can share customer experience with these products.

A non-latex foam core and a soft latex topper may not be a bad choice for a mattress if designed properly.
