[quote=“Phoenix” post=27374]Hi Shazb0t,
You can see the ILD ranges of Savvy Rest in post #2 here but their Talalay range may be different since they have changed suppliers. They would be the most accurate source of this type of information (everything else originates from them and is just a repeat of the information they have received from either Savvy Rest or a Savvy Rest dealer so you may as well go right to “the horse’s mouth”)
[quote]I can rule out (Firm, Soft, Soft) right out of the gate, but (Firm, Medium, Medium) and (Firm, Firm, Soft) both felt good to me. I’m having a really hard time choosing what to go with between the three:
Firm, Medium, Soft
Firm, Medium, Medium
Firm, Firm, Soft [/quote]
I don’t think there is any way to be more accurate “in theory” than your own personal testing and “best judgement”. If two different combinations feel identical to you then I would pay careful attention to each combination and test each one specifically for support/alignment and pressure relief so you aren’t just going by “feel” alone. These are all quite different combinations so I would test them very carefully so that you can discern the differences between them in terms of comfort/pressure relief, support/alignment, and overall “feel”. If you really can’t tell any difference in any way then I would tend to go with the firmer of two choices. I noticed that you didn’t include F/M/S as a combination that felt good to you … was there something that caused you to exclude this from the “felt good” list?
I would also keep in mind that you can re-arrange or exchange layers (or even turn Dunlop layers over because one side or layers may be firmer than another) so if your longer term experience doesn’t quite “match” your testing and re-arranging layers can’t solve it then you can also exchange a layer for additional fine tuning and this is part of the “value” of this type of design.

Phoenix,
I did have F/M/S in there as well if you look again.
I’ve been focusing on Spindle Mattress because they had the lowest online pricing, which is a major consideration for me. I gave them a call and asked some questions about their Abscond model and their recommendations bases on my history, size, weight, preferences etc. were:
2 layers of Natural Dunlop Firm on the bottom and 1 layer of Synthetic Medium Dunlop on the top.
This came out to ~$1400 in King. I realize now they are priced considerably lower online because of the all synthetic latex pricing. However, for the firmer latex they recommended I go with the Natural for durability and keep the top medium synthetic to save some money. This puts their price more in line with other recommended vendors on the site, so now I am unsure of what to go with. Do you have any advice you can share with me? It would be much appreciated.
