First I have to say "thank you" for this forum.  I have learned a lot.   :-)

I'm pretty sold on the idea of getting a latex mattress.  I like the naturalness, and  I like the ideas of swapping out pieces.   My husband and I did stop at Savvyrest, during a trip down south in June, and I liked their product, but not the fact that we cannot get a refund, plus their prices are higher than some.

I think that I need a pretty firm mattress, while my husband did seem to like the softer ones when we stopped at Savvy Rest.   

Basically, we seem to be gravitating towards the suggestions on this forum like sleepez and mattress.net, though I do like the flexibility of sleepez vs mattress.net.

I did want to ask about this clip I just saw regarding talalay vs. dunlop.    The original poster (sorry, I cannot remember which post)  said that it convinced them of talalay vs. dunlop.

I also was pretty sold on getting dunlop, except for possibly a talalay topper, until I saw the clip:

I also wish there was some sort of tally to show what people ultimately buy...the ratings here are challenging to follow.

I'd appreciate any thoughts about this.   My old mattress is probably causing me much unneeded pain in the meantime!

TIA!

Thanks for the reply.  What configuration of firmness did you get??     I also wonder if I go with Sleepez, if I could fit an additional 1" topper in the mattress - I'll have to ask.

 

I won't sit here and plug for SleepEZ all day, but I'll tell you, they are awfully nice to talk to.  I've talked to Shawn 'bout 3 times and his sister Christina once, and they are very nice.  Also, they did the order right and it came to my doorstep less than 3 days.  'Course that's AZ to CA.
