Final Advice before buying - Please

Hi Mike G,

Thanks very much Phoenix. I appreciate your insight on Dunlop vs Talalay as one store specializing in high end latex mattresses had given the the impression that Talalay was higher quality, more refined/better than Dunlop and so my preference for it.

It isn’t unusual at all for a store to “overpromote” the quality or value of the materials they use and diminish the quality or value of materials they don’t offer. When you look at only a “piece” of a larger picture or the tradeoffs involved it can be somewhat misleading.

Questions such as “better for who” or “better in what specific way” are questions that can get to the heart of what they mean and whether they are providing a more “neutral” and complete picture or accurate information.

I live near Albany, NY and would appreciate any information on good local dealers of high quality latex mattresses.
I have not had much luck in finding any so far - Mainly just the standards name brands with limited latex content.

Post #4 here includes the better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Albany area (and a link to the closest factory direct manufacturers which are some distance away).

I don’t know the specifics of what each one has on their floor (which can change over time) so I would call and find out specifically what they carry and have on their floor before you visit them.
