Hi 2manybeds,
Did you find out the specs from the manufacturer/retailer?
I thought that the Natural Elegance line had more latex in it (you can see some “alternative” specs here and here). I also thought that it was one of their older models that they no longer make but it could be a new mattress with the same name. If the specs are right then the mattress would be about 14" thick … is this right? What does the law tag say about the materials in the mattress? When was it manufactured (it should say on the law tag)?
If your specs are correct then there are 7" of good quality materials in the upper layers (2 lb polyfoam and latex) so it’s not likely that the 1.5 lb polyfoam in the base layer would be a significant durability issue since it wouldn’t be compressing very much … especially with your weight.
Of course I would still want to make sure that it’s a good match for you in terms of PPP and confirm the specs and make some good value comparisons with some of your other finalists.
The specs just don’t sound right to me but of course I could be wrong.
A forum search on Shovlin or on Mattressfac.com (you can just click these) will bring up the forum posts that mention them and hopefully some of the other members that have purchased from them will see your post and add their comments as well.
