Hi abearev1,
Yes this would work. This is designed as a mattress ticking rather than as a mattress “protector” which is what you’re looking for.
Post #2 here has a list of the factory direct manufacturers and some better retail outlets in the NYC area. I would focus on the first 4 factory directs and the first 2 on the retail direct list. A search on their websites and a few phone calls to tell them what you are considering and to ask what they may carry that would also be worth including in your research may be well worthwhile … if for no other reason than to test various latex combinations. There’s some good value near you although it may not be in the same range as the factory second or returned material you are consdering.
