PU/Latex/Memory Foam Mattress
|
Has anyone put together a mattress with PU base, latex in the middle, and memory foam on top? I was laying on a Simmons ComforPedic the other day with this configuration. It felt like Temperpedic support laying in it, but it didn’t have that hard feel when you roll over or sit on it – it actually had a little spring to it. When I was looking at it in a showroom, I was able to see some of the specs on the sheet the sales person was holding: Top layer: 4.5” 5.5lb memory foam – ILD unknown, but possibly 2 different foam ILDs (springs back faster than Temperpedic) Middle layer: 2" 24 ILD latex (said it was to dissipate heat) Bottom: 7" 30 ILD foam (I'm assuming it's PU, but I'm not sure???) From what I've been reading about foam lately, I thought a combination like this would be too soft, but it was really supportive. After laying in it for awhile, it did seem a lot cooler and more comfortable than a Temperpedic. The price for the above configuration was $4200. Any ideas on putting one together for a lot cheaper? |

Update: I'm still waiting on my 2" 32 ILD latex from FBM - they said they were waiting on their latex order to come in and that it would ship Friday, but I never received a tracking number...I'm sure it hasn't shipped yet. They were really fast to ship when I ordered my PU foam. I should have my case from FoamOrder on Thursday and will report on that when I get it. I'm still sleeping on 4" Lux and 3" HD36 and it's very firm! I went to Costco this weekend with my almost 2 1/2 year old Sealy Fenway and they took it back with no problems. I probably could've told them I didn't like the color anymore and that would've been okay. They really do back up what they sell. |

My 2" 32ILD shipped on Friday, yours may have also. |

For the record, I am quite disapointed with FBM's customer service. I placed my order on the morning of the 4th, and had expected delivery by the 14th latest. Only through this forum and earlier today did I discover they were out of stock. An explainatory email once they discovered they couldn't fill my order was in order. I have no issue with the quality or price. Edit: I guess this proves the old adage: Quality, Price, Service; you can have only two. Even in the internet age.

I was told it would ship Friday and had to send them two emails on Monday before they sent me my tracking number. I'm not sure if actually has shipped yet - UPS is still showing "Billing Information Received". Fortunately, it only takes 2 days from Michigan to Minnesota. Hopefully they'll have enough latex in stock if I decide to order another 2" topper. |
