I live in Portland and am trying to decide between the LatexBliss Beautiful (25% off retail price) and the Parklane Overton (less than 1/2 the Beautiful discounted price). I am 6’ 3" and 200 lbs.
The LatexBliss dealer is dropping the line due to Latex International’s recent bankruptcy reorganization filling. Not sure whether a 25% discount is too low for a floor model mattress of a company that may not be around to honor its warranty?
The core thickness is the same for both–6". The Parklane Overton then adds 4" in Talalay latex comfort layers (two 2" layers; one 32 ILD and the other 16 ILD) and the LatexBliss adds a 1" stabilization base and 5" of Talalay latex comfort layers. What, if any, advantage is there to the thicker latex mattress–12" vs 10"?
When sitting down on the edge of the Overton mattress, I bottom out and feel the harder core portion of the mattress. This does not happen when sitting down on the Beautiful mattress.
I find the Beautiful mattress to be a bit more plush than the Overton. I also find the Beautiful to be slightly more bouncy than the Overton when bouncing my hips on the bed while lying down, but the lack of motion transfer seems the same in both mattresses.
Parklane buys their latex from International Latex. This information is listed on the Parklane website.
The Beautiful mattress has 20% more material by volume than the Overton, but its cost is 100% more. Can someone help me understand if there is a legitimate reason for the much higher price of the Beautiful over the Overton? If the price difference can be justified, I will buy the Beautiful as I find it more comfortable. Thanks!
