I am having trouble comparing apples and oranges.  I know 100% natural latex is more expensive than blended and that Talalay is more expensive than Dunlop.  But it seems that especially in the all natural mattresses, Flobeds is considerably more expensive than other sites also offering 100% natural mattresses as well as trial periods with full returns (not just comfort exchanges) like Habitat Furnishings and Plushbeds (which both use Dunlop in the core as opposed to Flobeds).  Is the cost difference just the Dunlop vs. Talalay difference?  Is it worth it to spend so much on a Flobed?  I am afraid I will never be able to compare a Dunlop/Talalay layered mattress with a full Talalay without ordering mattresses from different sites and returning one which doesn't seem practical.  Green Mattress Factory offers both and a 6 month return, but I don't see anything on these forums about the company.  Any advice?
