I think i have to get a latex mattress, if i want NO motion transfer, so...

i looked at a latex mattress made by Verlo, which felt good (firm core, medium/soft topper), but it's $2000.

Then i thought again about FBM...So inexpensive! Can it be as good as other latex mattresses?

Wondering if a 6" firm core and 2" topper will be good for me? I'm 5'4'', 120lbs, boyfriend is 5'11", 165. He doesn't care what he sleeps on, but i do want it to be supportive enough.

Is there ANY Reason to go with a pre-made mattress (i.e. from Verlo)?

Thank you so much!!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little confused (i'm not hugely experienced with 'latex talk'), so forgive me: are all the latex pieces you own, including Latex International, insufficient in your mind? Or is it just the FBM stuff. And, are you going to upgrade your collection?

And, which latex mattress (bought from a store, intact) would you recommend? Thanks so much!

The Latex International latex I own is very high quality.  I highly recommend it.

I'm not sure if there are any decent latex mattresses in a store.

Good luck to you.

You may want to get some of the Lux R as a base. Let it air out a week (it's a little smelly).
