which one should I get.

 

 If tempurpedic which one -

1. cloud lux/allura?

I got rhapsody and it began to give me aches and pains after a month or so, so I returned it.

2. latex mattress - I got all dunlop mattress and it began to give me pains the first day! It was too firm. So I am leaning to talalay latex?

But which seller should I go to?

My situation:

Some sellers are using UPS as the couriers and I have had a really bad personal experiences with UPS when I worked there and I am still experiencing trauma from those incidences so I do not want to use UPS as courier ever and one seller simply told me she won't accomodate my request (csd), so I am left with few options here.

can someone help me please?

I agree with everything Budgy said. The flobeds software must be broken, you certainly do not want XFirm layers.

You really should call Flobeds and talk with them about your situation. You can get all the info you need in just a few minutes and there is no obligation to buy.

Many of the questions you are asking are impossible to answer. Only you can know whether you need this or that later, all anyone else can do is guess.

There is no certifiable research that shows that Natural Talalay is better than synthetic talalay to my knowledge, especially when comparing LI's talatech to natural talalay. I agree with Budgy, if the synthetic is a lot cheaper and if money is an issue you may want to go with that, that would be my preference. But then again I have not really tried or owned Talatech latex. I know that Sealy says their synthetic latex is actually better than natural latex and I doubt that's true, but....I can't say for sure.

I would ask Flobeds if they would send your order by someone other than UPS. If you're willing to pay extra for that service I imagine they would do it.

I could not sleep on Dunlop near the top but now I am sleeping on a configuration with Dunlop on the bottom and talalay on the top and it is workiing pretty well for me. Dunlop is just too hard or firm or dense or whatever, for many people to sleep on layers of it near the top. Some do like it though.

If the Flobeds or other co's Talalay does not work for you then I'd say you need a spring bed wtih latex layers on top of the springs. But if you go springs I'd recommend the pocket coil design, I am now convinced that is the best design for springs.

Don't you sleep on pocket coils, Budgy? I have been looking at Simmons and Stearns and Foster's new pocket coils (not real new but new to me) and I am impressed. I am sure other companies may be making better ones but I have to admit that I might have to actually try one of these pocket coil mattresses since I cannot afford a specialty brand pocket coil mattress.

Jim,

You have had Talatech.  You had a Flobeds before, that is Talatech, I thought you had blended latex.  What latex do you have over your Dunlop now?  Isn't that from Latex International?  Or is it Radium, or ?

Personally, my opinion, is polyester filled pillows are dust magnets.  I like talalay latex pillows.  They have them in firm, and high profile, low profile, soft, etc.  I have every variety.

I have natural latex layers from LI.  I just wanted natural, it is a personal preference.  Time will tell how long it lasts.

I would never have memory foam again, yuck.

Everyone is different, everyone.
