Hello everyone,
I was looking for a firm mattress since I have a herniated disc. I did some research about the materials and brands, and I decided to go for all latex. I also read Phoenix’s post on “How to look for and find the best mattress”.
Although I chose to buy an all latex mattress, I still do not understand everything since there is too much information. I do not know how correct my understanding is, but from what I understood Dunlop and Talalay have their own pros, natural latex is recommended, and I should avoid brands like Astrabeds, Simmons, and Tempur-Pedic due to their transparency issues and other reasons.
So, I decided to look for some brands through this forum and ended up with the following three: Brooklyn Bedding, Sleep EZ, and FSF. For these brands, I selected the following models: 10 inch Total Latex (BB), 9 " NATURAL LATEX MATTRESS (Sleep EZ), and URBAN GREEN MATTRESS 9″ TWIN (FSF). So far, I am inclined for the Natural 9000 due to its price because I am willing to spend $1300 at most. If I can spend less than $1000, it would be better though. However, I am not sure if there are other cheaper options with similar qualities.
Just to make things clear: I am looking for good quality all latex, firm, twin size, less than $1000 if possible mattress. My weight is 150lbs, and I sleep on my back. My zip code is 02120. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify me which latex is better: all natural or organic. What makes one more expensive or better than the other? Also, are my three choices recommended or are there better/more affordable options?
Thank you very much,
Daniel.
