Savvyrest tried to sell me their dunlop latex. Their dunlop latex is made in India and seems to be of poor quality. I had told them I like soft bed and they tried to steer me to Dunlop...! and their Talalay latex is so much expensive...... Don't Buy SavvyRest.... |

Savvyrest is unbelievebaly expensive and Yes Sir, I too say that I find latex made in India is not so high quality. I find it odd that you find it offensive. Every one has their own opinions. Richard, I will gladly share my experiences/opinions on the company i am dealing with, or its products, with people that are truly interested, and have an open mind, or are seeking advice. I didnt see the point to do so with this particular person...because she/he seems to have a negative outlook on every product she/he speaks of. I, like just about everyone else in this forum, are here to learn or give their opinions/advice based on their experiences. I'v learned a lot by reading reviews and threads on latex by all of these fine people in this forum...and may have many more questions once my mattress arrives. I have had companies try and up-sell me, or push me to Dunlop latex (Im a Talalay Fan), etc...but I would never think to "bash" companies simply because I dont like what they tried to sell me based on firmness or prices. I just dont see the point, or how that helps people like me, who are trying to get the best product for my individual needs. I apologize if I have ruffled feathers. I was just shocked at the comments. I hope you, and everyone else in here has a wonderful day. I still beleive that this forum is a god-send. Without it, I would have never heard of Companies like Flobeds and SleepEZ etc. Thank you to everyone!! |

As for Dunlop. Don't know anything about Savy Rest, only what I have read on their website. Their prices were too steep for me, so I stopped looking. My "opinion" on Dunlop is only from my experience on 16ILD Latex Green 2" piece I had. It was too firm for me. I then later got a 35ILD LI 2" piece that felt the same. Therefore I can compare this to a firm piece of latex that can only be used on the bottom layer. Again, that is for me and it my opinion. Your mileage may vary. If you dont mind my asking...from which company did you receive your Dunlop?? I have been sent samples from two companies (Dunlop and Talalay blended latex). Both the dunlop samples were 16ILD. But one was much firmer than the other. Although both were firmer then the Talalay soft (20-22ILD), the softest dunlop sample was surprisingly soft...very close in feel to the Medium Talalay. |

1. Talalay latex toppers are easier to find. 2. Talalay latex can be made softer than dunlop, and being that the #1 reason for a topper is to make a mattress feel soft it seems like a logical choice to keep the cost reasonable. 3. There are few companies that produce softer dunlop rubbers, as it is challenging to make on a consistent basis. there are a few companies that injection mould their dunlop rubber cores and they have the ability to make dunlop that is almost as soft as a lower ILD talalay. most dunlop rubber is not made this way and is why most people find it to be fairly firm...although with all things there are sometimes exceptions...not sure if Savvyrest is or not to be fair though. |

There is no science to 'soft' because it is based on subjective feel. Everyone here already knows that LI probably makes the best Talalay latex in the world or some of the best. No one here would say the latex is inferior...but what if I were to say out of the few hundred latex mattress I sold the only ones that ever had an issue with sagging or softening rubber used blended Talalay from LI? |

Although I havent heard much in here about AZ Matt Co...Is there a reason for that?? Anyway, I ordered Latex samples from these two retailers. Sleepezs Dunlop Soft sample (16ILD) seemed very soft and squishy; AZ Matts Soft (16ILD??) Seemed much firmer. Both are from Latex Green. The Talalay Medium sample I received from Sleepez felt similer in feel to the Soft Dunlop I received from them. However, the AZ Matt Co Soft Dunlop was similer in feel to the Medium or Firm Talalay. Of course, these are small hand-sized samples. Im sure the feel would be different if I were laying on them.
