Hi ashark8me,
[quote]I talked to Chuck at Dreamfoam today and I am probably going to go with the UD Freedom out of their offerings. So it’s basically an all dunlop bed from Dreamfoam or an almost all Talalay bed from the local factory store.
I asked Chuck why they make the Freedom out of all Dunlop and not all Talalay (like the local bed I found) or a mixture. Just curious what the advantage would be since basically that’s what I’m looking at. A bed that is made of all Dunlop vs a bed that is all Talalay. Do you think either of those is more resistant to body impressions or sagging or loss of support?[/quote]
The Freedom mattress uses synthetic continuous pour Dunlop made by Mountaintop Foam which is a lower cost version of latex which is the reason for the lower price. There is more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here and more about the Freedom mattress and synthetic continuous pour Dunlop in post #2 here and in posts #3 and #4 here.
They already have many Talalay latex mattresses and latex hybrids so choosing the synthetic continuous pour latex is a way to provide an additional customizable option for an “all latex” mattress for their customers at a lower cost.
