How to make the new Latex bed Aspen or Snowmass good for me and him

[phoenix]

Hi confused in KY,

“Talalay latex is usually poured in two sizes … twin XL and queen (less common) and sizes other than this will always have a glue seam and even most queens will have a glue seam,” is that because most people order either twin or king sizes? We were learning towards purchasing a king but realized all the additional cost we would incur since our sleigh bed frame/headboard/footboard is a queen.

The mold sizes they use are more a matter of economics. A twin XL can be fabricated into almost any size using just two pieces (the exception is a cal king which requires 3 pieces) so they can pour one size and then fabricate it into any other size they want. There are a few queen size molds which produce finished queen size layers without a glue seam but they are much less common because they there are fewer molds of this size (and they can only be used to make queen size or too much material would be wasted).

In other words … most of the “finished layers” for talalay latex (outside of twin and the occasional queen) would have a glue seam although you wouldn’t feel it.

Yes … as you mentioned you would be looking at the additional cost of a new bedframe as well if you changed sizes since your old one wouldn’t work although if you wanted to eliminate the sleigh bed (or sell it) there are some fairly inexpensive options available in the foundation thread that can be used as a base for a King size mattress.
