Is it possible to order a SleepEz natural latex mattress that would compare a Savvy Rest?

Hi hiddenspring,

But that said, we had been to “Healthy Back” after that and their basic model - Peace - was a 6" Firm Talalay support + 1" Celsion Talalay Latex was too hard for us. They do not disclose ILDs and such but their 6" Regular Talalay support + 3" Celsion Talalay Latex (called Essence) was the best for us.

You can see some of the specs for the equivalent PLB mattresses in post #1 here except the Healthy Back mattresses use Celsion in the top layer rather than regular Talalay. I’m not sure if their bottom 1" layer still uses firm polyfoam (like the first generation PLB mattresses) or if they have replaced it with firm Talalay (like the second generation PLB mattresses). You can see here that all the third generation PLB mattresses have replaced the 19 ILD Talalay with 21 ILD Celsion (now called Talalay GL fast response by Latex international and Active Fusion fast response by PLB) but in spite of all of this … post #11 here includes information that was supplied by Healthy Back about the Essence that indicates that the Celsion layer is 15 ILD so the most reliable way to know would be accurate information from Healthy Back. I should also mention though that “comfort specs” are not really important to know with local testing because they have nothing to do with the quality of the material and softness and firmness can be “felt” with testing more effectively than by providing ILD specs so many local retailers don’t provide this because they realize that ILD specs are not a necessary spec for a customer to know.

I should also mention that the Peace uses synthetic Dunlop in the support core and the Serenity is the same construction except it uses the 40 ILD Talalay in the support core instead of synthetic Dunlop.

Also does anyone have comments about the 1 inch wool-cotton cover vs. the flat cotton (with rayon FR backing) cover that SleepEz has?

They would be the most reliable source of information about the differences between their covers but in general terms … the wool quilted cover is a higher cost and quality cover and provides the temperature regulating benefits of wool. It also is used as the fire barrier so it doesn’t need the fire barrier that is used with the stretch knit cover.

The stretch knit cover is thinner and more stretchy and would have a little less effect on the “feel” of the latex below it.

The wool quilted cover would also be necessary if you wanted a split top layer because the unquilted stretch knit cover is too thin to even out the feel of the split and they don’t recommend using it with a split top layer.
