what is flobeds V zone? If only 1 person is sleeping on say a queen size bed. Are there 4 different complete layers of latex and you can put one on top of each other or are there less then 4 layers of latex or what? It is confusing. |

It is still confusing. The site does not explain clearly. It goes by: size then bed - for 1 person or 2 (check mark) layers layer 1 soft/medium/firm/xfirm and the same for all the rest below layer 2 layer 3 and layer 4

Good Afternoon roy1, Dewey here at FloBeds. If you would like to email me a detailed list of questions i would be happy to answer them. My direct email is dewey@flobeds.com and i'll answer you first thing tomorrow morning. On our vZone mattress, whether its just you, or you and a partner you must choose (2) firmnesses for each side (of course they can be the same), hence the 4 firmness selections. Then you have a vzone on each side, and a convoluted topper on top of that. (7 individual latex components) also, here is a link that may clear some things up. http://www.flobeds.com/vZone.htm Have a great 4th, Dewey |

1&2. The convoluted layer goes on top. It is a standard firmness as far as I know, so really you just choose the 3 layers below (this is with the vzone model, other models may have different number of layers). 3. You can put the vzone wherever you want, but usually it will be second from the top, just below the convoluted layer. 4. Depends on your height, weight, sleeping style, etc. You probably should discuss with Flobeds to figure it out. Usually a side sleeper will like it softer under the shoulders. Here is a chart of standard vzone configuations Okay, this is pretty confusing, but try to study it. A "firm" vzone layer (at least what they call firm) has a M piece under the head, S under shoulders, F under ribs, M under hips, XF under knees, F under legs. But you can change any of the those pieces, so if the M under hips feels too soft, you can exchange just that piece for a F to put under the hips. 1 possible configuation (for 1/2 of queen mattress, the other half can be the same or different): Bottom layer: 3" of XF Next layer: 3" of F Next layer: 3" thick vzone layer (M under head, S under shoulder, M under hips, etc.). Next layer: 2" convoluted layer on top. All zipped up in the cotton/wool cover.

Say again: It says to choose how many people would be sleeping on the mattress. Then I tick mark the box for 1 person. Then size of mattress - say Queen size mattress Then it says to choose 4 layers. That makes it confusing. It leads one to believe that the mattress has 4 layers of same width. Then there is no selection for V zone layerand its firmness levels. Also what is meaning of "convoluted layer" Is it firm/medium/soft or what?
Thanks again for excellent explanation. I have an additional question- the mattres sheight is 11 inches including the 2 inch convoluted layer. Could I add another 3 inch of latex? And does Flobeds sells Dunlop latex also?
Thanks again.

Thanks again As Dewey explained, the 4 layers refers to 2 on each side. So, really you are only picking 2 if you want the same on both sides. Then you need to pick a vzone layer over the phone with them. They would probably have recommendations based on your criteria. The convoluted is meant to be a soft layer. You do not pick out a firmness. They only have 1 firmness level. You would not be able to add 3" inside the mattress cover without great difficulty. You could always put in on top, but I really doubt you would want any more than the 11". They might be able to get dunlop on a special order, but I don't think you could return or exchange. If you really want dunlop, I would probably go with sleepez.
