Bed Woes

I would need to know the specifics of the materials inside the mattress to make any meaningful comments about it. Outside of making sure a mattress is a good match for you in terms of PPP (using the testing guidelines), the most important part of knowing whether a mattress has any obvious weak links or making meaningful comparisons to other mattresses is by knowing what is inside it (the information you need is in this article). If you can find out the specifics of the mattress you are considering then I’d be happy to make some comments about it.

Bed Boss itself uses memory foam that is sourced in China but they are CertiPur certified (see here*) so as long as the mattress you are considering uses 4 or 5 lb memory foams or higher (depending on your weight and the guidelines here) then they would be well worth considering as one of your finalists. The Bed Boss itself tends to be transparent about the materials they use which is one of the reasons I list them as a “possibility” in various lists around the forum.

Unless you are able to find out the specifics of what is inside a mattress you are considering … I would avoid it because the risk of making a “blind purchase” would be too high in terms of the quality or durability of the mattress.

ok! Through some sleuthing and researching, here is what I found out, I was reading what you have linked to about the layering, but I’m not really sure how the thicknesses of the layers factors in, with the weight/lb. involved?

Soft Blended fiber cover
1" heat dissipating bamboo infused visco quilted in cover
3" of 5 lb Visco Memory Foam in pillow top
7" high resilience base foam

The Visco Bed Boss Crown VT has:
13" Super Pillow Top Design
Soft Blended fiber cover
1/2" heat dissipating bamboo infused visco quilted in cover
2" of 5 lb Visco Memory Foam in pillow top
3" Visco foam cut in 9 alignment zones
7 1/2 Poly base in 9 alignment zones

15" Boxtop Design
Soft Blended fiber cover
1" heat dissipating bamboo infused visco quilted in cover

Thank you again, Phoenix, for your time and heart to give counsel.
