Question for Budgy and other latex folks
|
It is coming down to a choice for me between rockymountainmattress's Dunlop or SleepEZ's Dunlop. One thing that bugs me about RockyMountain's Dunlop is that the firmest Dunlop they offer is 26IFD, and I was thinking I would get 32ILD from SleepEZ. My main question is: Do you think 26IFD is firm enough for a bottom layer just over my springs? I really don't know. I believe the HR foam I have been using is 32ILD though it might be 28ILD, I don't remember. They are calling 26IFD natural Dunlop "medium firm" but going by the numbers, I would think it would be more like medium soft. SleepEZ offers the 32 ILD in the natural Dunlop though I don't know if it's as good as the Rockymountan natural Dunlop which someone said is made by Latex Green (?) which Budgy said was a good company as I recall. I do like that SleepEZ offers 1.5" which might be a little better than 1" or 2" for me, and Rockymountain only offers 1" or 2" not 1.5". Decisions, decisions! Yuk. Opinions on which I should buy now that I have it down to these 2 companies' Dunlop? My main concern is that 26IFD might be too soft for a base layer over springs...? And then, it becomes, "Do I need 1.5" instead of just 1"?" I have used 1" before in HR foam and I do know that 2" of HR foam was too much foam for me. So maybe I should stick with 1" only , but then Budgy said that 1" will break down quicker than 2". And by the way, can you expand on that? I don't see why the thickness would cause it to break down earlier or later... but I'll take your word for it... This message was modified Jan 18, 2010 by jimsocal

Budgy, on your suggestion I did order the 1.5" Dunlop, and I also ordered a 1" Talalay layer - both natural latex. I ordered from SleepEZ because they were the only ones who had the 1.5" Dunlop. When I talked to Rockymountain they said they could not get me the 1.5" Dunlop. They were very nice, though, and if I were ordering just 1" I probably would have ordered from them instead. But I decided that as Philip said, I did want to compare the Dunlop and Talalay and though one is 1" and the other is 1.5" I still think I'll be able to get an idea of the different feel. Mainly I just hope some configuration of one or both of these 2 layers will help me sleep and wake up without back pain! They won't be able to ship them until Monday as they had to wait for a shipment to get the 1.5" Dunlop. So I'll post after I get them in a week or two. Not sure what kind of shipping service I get, whether it's a quick type of slow boat to China type, I didn't ask, as I had made my decision to buy these 2 layers, either way. |
