Hi The real Z,
The Snowmass is usually one of the better latex values in the areas it is available. It has an inch of 1.8 lb polyfoam in the upper layer (which is within the guideline of using no more than around an inch or so of polyfoam over latex) and the 2" stabilization layer on the bottom is not an issue either. In between it has 8" of blended Talalay latex which is a high quality material. there are no obvious weak links in the mattress. Of course the quality and value of a mattress doesn’t necessarily mean that it is suitable for your needs and preferences but if you have tested it for PPP (Pressure relief, Posture and alignment, and Personal preferences) … then it would normally be among the better value purchases available in most areas.
Just as a point of reference as well … 1.8 lb polyfoam is actually HD polyfoam not HR.
A forum search on Snowmass (you can just click this) will bring up many more references to it.
