Hi creosote7,
As you pointed out … Dreamfoam is their Amazon name and Brooklyn Bedding is their manufacturer’s name.
The Amazon site does make finding the merchant’s phone numbers difficult. It’s been listed several times on the forum (and it’s a good idea to talk with them before buying to make your firmness selection) but forum posts can get buried fairly quickly.
The “connection” to Brooklyn Bedding is listed in the membership list here(in the link) as well as the list of members who sell online in post #21 here. I added “Dreamfoam” to their name in the membership list to make the link a little more apparent … thanks for bringing it up.
Yes to the first question. All mattresses sold today require a fire retardant barrier in order to pass the fire regulations (unless you have a prescription). Two of their mattresses use wool as the fire retardant barrier and they will provide you with a link to the manufacturer of the fire barrier they use on request for the ones that don’t. Of course all polyfoam is manufactured with chemicals (the two main ones are isocyantes and polyols but there are many others) but most people would consider these to be “safe” if they are made by an American foam manufacturer (which their’s are) or are CertiPur certified.
You can order split firmness levels in king size on their Eurotop option here (which also have the option of a layer exchange) and on their total latex mattress here but not on the Ultra plush models.
If you do order from them … make sure you give them your username here before you purchase so that they will send you the free shredded latex pillow as your member bonus.
