Went by the local Healthy Back yesterday. Did learn that their latex topper is ILD 15, too soft especially when placed on the concrete floor for demonstration purposes. I liked the $2500 “medium” Bliss mattress, their “most popular model,” but the salesperson didn’t know ILDs on the mattress layers. A follow-up phone call identified this as a Bliss Essence, so based on post #11 here, that’s 1" of ILD 15 plus 2" of ILD 24. If I have that right, it’s good to know that ILD 24 or below might be best for me.
I planned to visit A Bedder Buy locally to look at their latex mattresses. However after learning in post #2 here that the “engineered latex” in a Boyd 910 isn’t latex, I’m not sure it’s worth the trip. (I thought $399 for a queen latex hybrid with foundation was too good to be true.)
From the picture of the “Lavendar Latex Hybrid,” the “pillowtop” quilting looks too thick, and even that is a latex/poly mix.
Nature’s Rest and iComfort are out of my price range.
What about the Boyd 933? Is that top layer real latex?
