query about latex
|
Currently I am in the market for a latex bed. I want something that has a soft but supportive feel. I love the feel of Hastens, but they are too much money. I want a 6" piece as my main support, but am unsure whether to get the dunlop or the talalay. Two options: 1) Dunlop bottom piece with a 2 inch talalay topper 2) Talalay bottom with a 2 inch wool topper The salesperson said not to get the topper until I am used to the latex, but the dunlop felt very firm. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. |

| probably well worth it to some. I imagine that they probably breathe better than any other type of mattress. |

They don't use any kind of foam in it, so it probably would breath well. I have found that any type of foam will retain heat, especially if you sink into it enough. Can you get enough support and comfort from just cotton, wool and horserhair above the springs? Maybe so. Like anything else, one would have to try it for themselves to see if it works. Still, it would be hard to part with that amount of money for a bed, but if it slept great consistently for a long time, I guess it might be worth it. |

| horsehair itself is supposed to be very resilient and springy. im sure they are quite supportive. but basically you order your springs custom to your needs. |
