Mattress Forum

 

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!!
 

 

the main reason we do not see a lot of dunlop toppers being sold is for a myriad of reasons.

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. 

Budgy only said the Sam's Club seemed like a good deal.  He only gives an opinion as we all do on what we read and interpret.  He only gives opinions, which is all any of us can do.

 

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.

 

Savvyrest softest dunlop is 20-22ILd and is not soft.

 When I originally started researching latex, I eventually found not one, but two retailers here in AZ, both in the Phoenix area;  SleepEZ and Arizona Premium Matt Co.  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.  

 

 

 

I find op blunt but honest and not negative. Why don't you tell all of us which dunlop maker latex sample (that you got that) you found to be of medium feel similar to talalay latex?
