island dreams memory foam?

[phoenix]

Hi ddcfri,

I am 6’ 190 lbs. Is this a higher weight range? Would this still be ok for me provided it met all the PPP criteria (except that I can’t tell what it will do later into the night or over time)?

There is more about the many variables that can affect durability in post #4 here and the other posts it links to but I would consider the start of a “higher weight” range to be somewhere around the low 200’s range and higher.

Breathable Memory Foam! Not only does this mattress use “open cell” memory foam to keep you cool at night, but it also features a 3.5" layer of punched pin hole memory foam in the comfort layer to maximize airflow. No one else is doing this! Compare the comfort to the big brand memory foam names.

This is mostly hype. There certainly are others doing this such as here and here (their site is down at the moment but should come back up fairly soon) for example who are doing it more effectively because they also provide a way for the air to ventilate to the outside). A google search on ventilated memory foam will turn up others as well. There is also more about the different ways that are being used to cool down memory foam in post #6 here.

[quote]Specifications:
Depth: Approximately 13"
1"Soft Eco Memory Foam
2" 7 Pound Eco Memory Foam
3.5" Anantomic Punched Layer
2" High Density Transition Layer Foam
3.5" High Density Base Layer
1" Rebond Base Layer
20-Year Limited Warranty

Again, if it met my PPP otherwise, given my weight and sleeping style, do you see any flaws to this configuration? [/quote]

Unfortunately … the specs don’t include the most important information I would need to make any meaningful comments about the mattress or that you would need to make an informed choice and is missing the density of all the layers except the 7 lb memory foam (the information you need is in this article).
