Help Choosing Between Dreamfoam UD: Natural or UD:Eurotop

Hi Bard,

The Los Angeles list is in post #2 here and there are quite a number of retailers and manufacturers listed that carry Dunlop latex mattresses that are in reasonable driving distance of Pasadena that would give you a chance to compare the “feel” of a range of different Dunlop and Talalay latex mattresses and firmness levels.

There is more about the variables that can affect sleeping temperature in post #2 here (including the effect of different types of bedding and your mattress protector) but for most people neither one of these two mattresses would likely have any issues with sleeping temperature.

There is also more about the many variables that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress relative to each person in post #2 here and the posts it links to. In most cases though … the quality and durability of the comfort layers are the most important factor in the durability and useful life of a mattress and since both of them use latex (which is among the most durable of all the foam materials) then as long as you don’t choose a firmness that is “on the edge” of being too soft for you (see post #2 here) then with your weights it would be reasonable to expect both of them to have a useful lifetime of at least the 5 - 8 years that you are looking for if not longer.
