Latex Mattresses too hard, NeoLuxe Mattress Non Toxic?

[Sensei]

Hi sb2018,

Thanks for the post.

Regarding the neoluxe mattress, they use a high-quality polyurethane foam imported from Italy, and other layers of polyurethane foam as noted by these descriptions:

2. Breathable Luxury Quilt Layer
   Combination of Hypersoft Foam and Quiltec comfort technology for luxury breathability.
3. Italian Silver form Comfort
   Italian made high-performance comfort foam infused with genuine silver particles for antimicrobial health.
4. HD Progressive Comfort Technology
   Multi-Layer premium HD comfort foams provide a smooth transition in feel offering a perfectly balanced sleep.

They do not provide any specifications regarding density and ILD (firmness) on any of their foam descriptions so it’s hard to be sure about the long term durability with no transparency. Regarding the toxicity of the foam, they do mention that the “SilverForm” foam is Oeko-Tex and CertiPur certified. For the HD layers, and the quilt foam no certification is mentioned. Of course, this does not mean they are harmful per se, there simply is not enough information on the website to help clarify this. You may want to ask them more specific questions regarding the other layers of foam.

Here is more information regarding polyurethane foam comfort layers in this article. Additionally Oeko-Tex has information about their testing and certification here. There is also more information about certifications here post #2.

Regarding Talalay mattresses in AUS, the one company I know uses Talalay latex is AH Beard. Their Natures Rest product is described at this link. You may be able to use the store locator on the AH Beard site to see what retailers are carrying this brand. Good luck and please ask if you have other questions.

Thanks,
