Mattress Covers/Quilting for DIY Latex Bed

[phoenix]

Hi hermanski,

A. Buy a PLB Pamper 8inch ($2100) + 3inch PLB Talalay topper ($500). So I was quoted $2700 before foundation by a retailer… for 11inch total (Can anyone else here find this cheaper?)

Pure Latex Bliss mattresses have MAP pricing (minimum advertised pricing) and there are some dealers that sell them for this but dealers are allowed to sell for less as long as they don’t advertise it. If you do decide on one of their mattresses there are some PLB dealers that will ship across the country listed in post #32 here that you can call to use as a pricing reference point and I would start by giving Jeff a call at Matt-To-Go who is one of the members of this site.

2-3inch slow response soft talalay

The slow response Talalay isn’t being made any more and has been discontinued. The slow response latex that they sell is continuous pour Dunlop from Latexco.

My main question is, how can I get close to “replicating” or “matching” the mattress cover quilting/cover quality of a PLB/other bigger brands when doing a DIY mattress - instead of just enclosing the latex with a stretch or zipper cover? I figured I could bring the layers to a local factory here, however their quilting/mattress covers thus far have all been very “cheap” feeling as well…

One of the stretch knit covers listed in post #4 here would probably be the closest approximation to the PLB cover that is available.

There are some comments about the SleepEZ cover here and here and the Mattresses.net cover here.
