Hi 2manybeds,
Sorry … my eyes must have temporarily failed me and I was misreading the specs (I skipped over some of them with the way they were listed).
Just for reference to clarify them for me and others that may read this, they are (from top to bottom) …
2" polyfoam quilting foam (density not listed or confirmed)
1" 2 lb polyfoam
1" Talalay latex (probably blended)
1" Talalay latex (also most likely blended)
1" 2 lb density polyfoam
2" medium density Dunlop (blend unknown)
6.5" 1.5 lb polyfoam support core.
Total 14.5" plus the cover and fire barrier so it doesn’t seem that there are any layers missing.
This would be on a re-inforced 18 Slat foundation.
This would make a lot more sense and with 4" of latex the percentage by weight on the law tag would also seem reasonable.
While there is still a little more polyfoam above the latex than I would like to see (it will “mask” some of the benefits of sleeping closer to the latex) … if the quilting foam is also 2 lb density and the rest of the specs are correct then there would be no obvious weak links in the mattress. It also sounds like it’s a King Koil heavy duty foundation which would be very strong.
So if it’s a good match for you in terms of PPP and it’s also the best of your finalists based on the other parts of your personal value equation that are important to you (including price) then it would be well worth considering.
