There's no BB&B here in Quebec. Many chains won't come here because they don't want to have to change their names and special order all new French signs.
I could order a latex topper here in Canada from a place The Mattress and Sleep Company, but one of the few I see is $385 (including cotton cover) for a full size and it's composed of:
- 2 inch latex: Talalay latex
- 30% natural rubber tree latex
- 70% synthetic latex
That seems totally out of whack to me.
The Foambymail prices seem quite low, but not overly low, compared to others I looked at but for all of them, the firmer and more dense they are the higher the price I believe?
As I quoted above, it says their topper is 5.6lbs, but I have no idea what that means.
The place you visited that wants $430 for the same(?) product..hard to understand unless the internet sellers have very high volume which would lower prices?
The fact that you say the 2" topper you tried gave an approximation of a pillowtop mattress is very helpful - that's what I really wanted to know. I want that "cloud-like" feeling, like sleeping on a giant marshmallow! I even originally considered buying the pillowtop mattress I tried, since it was like heaven, and doing the surgery I read about here down the road, but that seemed a little extreme to me. Plus the thing was so darned heavy I think even putting sheets on it would be an ordeal and rotating it, impossible.
Thanks a bunch
One final question - did you notice a smell on the toppers you tried? I've read complaints about that and I'm sensitive to smells - even nice ones.
