Can you recommend a reputable mattress store near Cambridge, M?

Hi zoebelle,

However, every salesperson had something different to say and even gave contradictory advice from - “You don’t want talalay in your mattress since the formula is secret and you don’t know what else is in it:” - to “why would you want Dunlop in your mattress - it’s what tires are made of”. In any event - most did not answer my questions directly and did most of the talking.

Unfortunately this is fairly typical in a large part of the industry where salespeople provide misinformation that is more focused on selling the mattresses that they carry than educating their customers. Some of this (such as the comment about tires) is completely ridiculous and indicates that the salesperson that told you this knows little to nothing about the latex used in mattresses.

The choice between Dunlop and Talalay would be a preference choice (not a “better/worse” choice). There is more about the different types and blends of latex in this article and in post #6 here. There is also more about the difference in “feel” between Talalay and Dunlop in post #7 here but the best way to know which one you prefer would be based on your own testing and experience.

There are some very good options in and around the Boston area and the better options and possibilities I’m aware of are listed in post #2 here.
