FBM - hopefully more options soon

Hi brass,

You can read more of my thoughts about Foam by Mail (FBM) in post #2 here and post #2 here. I personally wouldn’t have a great deal of confidence that what I thought I was buying was what I would actually receive so I personally wouldn’t consider them when the accuracy of the description of a product I was important or “mission critical”.

Also asked about their latex (my budget not allowing consideration of the more popular vendors) and far as I was told the density is closer to 5lbs, natural talalay (not blended) - I didn’t ask if they were ‘seconds’ - but ‘unofficially’ pretty much confirmed it’s from Radium. Got the impression they weren’t supposed to say but was given hints that “there’s really only one major latex supplier in Europe” and when I asked if it was Radium was told “i’m not…sure…but that sounds like that might be right”. From the tone of the their voice, it sounded like careful agreement rather than confusion - as if to give me an answer without saying it outright. Why the secrecy who knows, but hopefully gives a bit more insight. I think this has already been suggested or assumed in other posts so maybe it will help back that assumption up.

This is typical of their evasiveness and is the “style” of answer they have used for years but the truth is they don’t sell Talalay at all.
