Latex mattress choices

Hi Amelie88,

While I’m not familiar with the Australian market … I can tell you that the same general guidelines would apply there. This post and the links it includes outlines a step by step process that will give you much better odds of ending up with a high quality and value mattress that matches your needs and preferences.

In looking at the mattress that you linked … there is little information provided to make any meaningful assessment about the quality or value of the mattress. A mattress is only as good as its weakest link and the description has no information about the layers in the mattress or the type of latex it contains.

There are a few posts and threads in the forum that include several links and sources and may prove helpful for those that are in Australia. They include this thread along with this thread.

Again … while the link provides no details about the mattress you are looking at … on the face of it it appears to be rather pricey and you could probably do better in terms of value.

While latex can be very good for motion transfer (not quite as good as memory foam but better than most other options) … personal testing for this specifically with both of you on the mattress is a good idea because different types of construction and layering can make a difference as well.

I wish that I had more specific information about Australia but at least this should give you some good guidelines for what to look for and feel free to post any questions you have along the way.
