Why no memory foam? - my DYI example!
|
Hey all! I've been reading this forum the past few days and have noticed an overwhelming pattern of latex foam is talked about way more then memory foam. I'm finding latex mattresses are very expensive! I'm leaning towards a DYI project that mimics this bed here: http://imemoryfoam.com/product_p/elc3.htm (Queen: $2200) The one thing I can't tell is the ILD of the base foam. But so far, this is what I'm thinking about getting: Latex Base: FoamByMail: FIRM 6" Latex Mattress - $484 http://www.foambymail.com/LatexMQueen.html I would prefer two 3" pieces, but I can't find FIRM latex foam (3") for a reasonable price - any suggestions? I think I would like 36ILD - I see FBM has 32ILD - but I don't know how much of a difference that is in terms of support for a base layer. Middle Layer: Overstock: 2" Sensus 5lb Memory Foam - $140 http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Sensus-Memory-Foam-2-inch-Mattress-Topper/3657734/product.html Top Layer: Overstock: 1" Venus 8lb Memory Foam - $175 http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Venus-Memory-Foam-1-inch-Mattress-Topper/3657739/product.html So, the grand total is: $800 for what appears to be a very nice bed. To get a latex only bed, we're looking at twice that amount. What to you guys/gals think? A bit of info about me: 5'8" 205lbs - I hope the above configuration is supportive enough for me. Thanks for looking! :) -Rob |
