here is the list of contents according to one website that carries the mattress. I'm trying to make sure that the core of this matress is actually all latex, not just some latex. I realize that there are some layers (comfort layers) that are pu foam, and if I click on it it claims to be high density foam, any comments on that?) Quilt - Top of Mattress
Description of "supersoft sealy foam" Description
Description of "Luxury Latex Foam" Features Luxury Latex Foam contours to your body’s curves, and moves with you as you move in the bed, providing continuous orthopedic support. As the Luxury Latex Foam contours to your body, your body weight is spread over your entire sleeping surface. The contouring effect spreads your body weight over more of the sleeping surface and minimizes "pressure points", thereby creating a more comfortable sleep. Pressure points can create discomfort and cause you to toss and turn more frequently, so Latex’s contouring property reduces pressure points to help you toss and turn less, and sleep better. In addition, another feature of Luxury Latex Foam is the "open cell" structure that enables the mattress to "breath". This feature allows the release of body heat and moisture keeping the sleeping surface comfortable. Description of the "InfiniLux" Description
----I realize that is a misleading description that implies it is actually latex but it's not. Clever buggers----- |

Also, I question their listing a layer of 1/4" latex. I've never seen nor heard of it! |

Jim, a couple more questions/thoughts......on the one hand I am liking the idea of getting a basic, 'good' coil firm mattress with almost zero padding, and then buying my own toppers, such as you are working through. On the other hand, while a 'good' spring mattress is often recommended, the big S companies are always NOT recommended- so where to find a 'good' coil mattress. What exactly IS a good coil and who makes it? Second, a thought- I wonder if an upholsterer would be able to neatly open up a mattress to remove the crappy foam layers and then stitch it up again neatly or maybe even install a zipper? Maybe this is cost prohibitive but it is just a thought I had. I just can't make up my mind about what I want to do....every day I find myself giving up and just resolving to buy one of the S/F latex mattresses and then thinking that if/when it gets indentations to open it up and remove them and that at least I'll have the latex core. I feel very hesitant to buy something that I can't feel first. And why is flobeds so much cheaper than the savvy rest? It looks like an identical product. Lastly, where did you purchase your different foams from (if it was online that is). thanks. Jen |

Hi LPAD, I did just what you have thought about doing. Over the weekend I purchased the Sealy/S&F mattress that you supplied contents of (the 2nd time): the Saybrook Point/River Crest/Meadow Crest/ Bedford Knoll. I slept on it last night and it was wonderful. I have had lower back, hip and neck pain and only woke up with neck pain due to a pillow thats too firm. I plan to do what Jimsocial did and disassemble it if and when the top PU foam and convoluted latex wears out. It will still have a 9 inch latex core that is supposed to last for 20 years. The latex box top mattress that I just turned back into Costco was indeed too plush, but this one feels just right, at least for now. I did get a big blessing because I found it on Craigs List for $750--original price $3150 at Bassett. It is only 1 year old, no body impressions and the young couple who had it thought it too soft. I haven't slept so good in months as I did last night. I wish you similar results with whatever you choose. |
