Help to a Newbie on a mattress!!!

Hi Thrasher,

I didn’t until yesterday (I was doing some of the research in your area that I was mentioning).

I haven’t talked with them but I did notice what I consider to be some misleading information on their site here where they describe some preference choices (between types of latex) in terms of “better worse” choices and talk about “knockoffs” without regard to the quality of the materials inside them in an effort to justify and sell their Tempurpedic line.

If I was shopping there I would focus on their Englander Dunlop latex mattresses but I would make sure you know the specifics of all the layers inside them and I would also make some good “value comparisons” with other mattresses. The choice of Dunlop and Talalay is not a “better/worse” choice but is a personal preference (you can read more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here).

I wouldn’t consider the other brands they list on their site (Simmons and Tempurpedic).

Some of the other retailers that may be a “possibility” in the area (based on what I’ve seen so far) and the brands they carry that I would focus on (on a mattress by mattress basis and only if they can provide all the specifics of what is inside any mattress you are considering) include …
