Ecosleep Obsession Review

[phoenix]

Hi wrngway,

Thanks for sharing your feedback about the Ecosleep Obsession … I appreciate it

It’s advertised as a latex mattress, but as you can see, only the comfort layers are latex. The mattress label states 50% latex, 50% Polyurethane foam. The label also states that it was manufactured by DPC LLC in Whitewater, WI.

Durable Products Corp is part of the same group of companies as Ecosleep and Vymac and previously Verlo as well. (see post #7 here).

They are also sold at Hayneedle and I’ve come across them from time to time at local retailers as well but they are not widely distributed.

I’ve added a 1.5" pillowsoft layer with down alternative material to the top and that seems to have done the trick. It feels much better now. I’m surprised that such a minor change made such a difference!

There are many people who are very surprised about the difference that seemingly small changes can make to their mattress … particularly if they involve adding a top layer which has a bigger effect on the initial feel and performance of a mattress than the deeper layers. Even something as small as changing the thickness of a layer by an inch or so or using a different mattress protector can make a significant difference in the feel and performance of a mattress.

Any suggestions on where to find a 2" pillowsoft latex layer (say 19 ILD 4-5 lb density) that could better replace the down alternate would be appreciated!

I don’t think you would find a latex layer that would be a good comparison to a down alternative mattress pad because they are really apples to oranges comparisons and would feel very different. Post #4 here includes some good sources of where you can find latex layers or toppers but I would guess that for most people a shredded latex topper would be closer to the “feel” of a down alternative topper or mattress pad than a solid latex layer.
