Latex Mattress DIY Advice

[phoenix]

Hi ZuZu,

So now with my eyes crossing, I am trying to determine if there is a difference in “feel” between the 100% Natural Talalay and the blended latex from Sleepez? Also, I was told that the 100% natural latex is not as consistent as the blended. Would this effect the way it feels when one lays on it or is simply a cosmetic issue?

They would be very similar in “feel” with relatively small differences between them (that many people wouldn’t notice) but there is more about the differences between blended and 100% natural Talalay in post #2 here. The blended may be a little more consistent in terms of appearance and in terms of the firmness level across the sleeping surface as well.

Talalay is often a little “cleaner” in appearance than 100% natural Dunlop and there is also more about the differences between Talalay and Dunlop in post #7 here but the choice between them is really a preference issue not a “better worse” issue and the best way to know which type of latex you tend to prefer in either your comfort or support layers would be based on your local testing or experience.
