2 questions re: Latex mattresses

Hi Tradernik,
In terms of durability it would depend entirely on the quality and durability of the materials inside it relative to the person on the mattress. The quality/durability guidelines I generally suggest are in post #4 here and there is much more detailed information about the many factors and variables that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress relative to a particular person in post #4 here.

This was very helpful. I will check to see if Dreamstar/Tor is using Certipur certified polyfoam in their hybrid. All the other options I’m looking at are 100% latex.

For most people … when you can’t test a mattress in person then the options you have after a purchase to “fine tune” the comfort or support of the mattress either by exchanging individual layers or components or the complete mattress or returning the mattress for a refund and the costs involved would generally become a much more important part of their personal value equation.

This right here is what it’s coming down to for me. I have talked to a few different sellers. One said no exchanges/refunds. Another said there would be a $100 fee and a limit of 7 days. I need to be working with someone who will at least be willing to try to get me into another mattress if the one I purchase isn’t working. I am willing to commit to buying from that seller - i.e. I am willing to waive the right to a refund. All I want is the ability to exchange if it really doesn’t feel right. Is 7 days enough to know? I’m not sure but that’s about the best I can do or so it seems right now.

Thanks again for all the good information.
