Help buying an innerspring

Hi Stine,

Yes the posts you linked would include all of the better options or possibilities I’m aware of that are closest to you.

Both of these would be good quality/value options but there are some differences between them. They both use the same polyfoam base layer (1.5 lb) and have the same 3" blended Talalay latex comfort layer but the Ultimate Dreams has many firmness options while the Cotton Camilla only has two. They also have a slightly different cover with the Dreamfoam using a bamboo cover quilted with 1.5" of polyfoam and the Cotton Camilla uses a 100% cotton cover quilted with 1" of polyfoam. The Cotton Camilla has the option to exchange the latex comfort layer for a $75 shipping fee while the Ultimate Dreams is a “finished mattress” so there aren’t any layer exchanges.

If the Ultimate Dreams is fulfilled by Dreamfoam then you would receive the pillow bonus for being a member of the forum but there would be no return options. If the Ultimate dreams is fulfilled by Amazon then it can be returned within 30 days and is subject to the Amazon large items return policy (see here) but there would be no pillow bonus. The Cotton Camilla would qualify for the 5% TMU member’s discount unless they are having a temporary sale that is more than the discount.

Dreamfoam also sells their Latex Eurotop here which has more firmness options than the Camilla and also has a comfort exchange option. There is more about how the Eurotop compares to the Cotton Camilla and the Bamboo Bliss in post #16 here.

All of these would make a good final choice but which of them would be the “best value” for you would depend on the parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.

I think it’s always a good idea to make sure you do some local testing to make sure you like the feel of latex (or any material) before buying a mattress that uses it in the comfort layers because latex is certainly different from other types of materials (especially memory foam) and each person can have very different ideas when it comes to the type of material that they prefer.
