Mattress height/depth selection

Hi welshie,

However, I still remain confused about Sleep Ez’s Talalay. Shawn seem to recommend that there is no difference in feel between his two Talalay offerings, and that the only reason to go with the more $245 more expensive 100% natural is from a Green standpoint, but IS there a difference in durability/compression between blended and 100% natural over time?

Post #2 here has more information about the differences between blended talalay and 100% natural Talalay but Shawn is right that in practical terms they are functionally more similar than different and differences in design and layering would make a bigger difference than the differences in the material itself. SleepEz offers both but of course the 100% natural Talalay is more costly than the bend.

Oh, yes, and as I have collies that sleep with me, what kind of protector do you like that doesn’t goof the feel of the mattress but protects it from, well…from dog. Wool? Hopefully they won’t want to herd it

That would depend on the likelihood of “accidents” and the importance of waterproof vs water resistant and your budget. Post #89 here has more information about some of the differences and tradeoffs between different types of mattress protectors. If “waterproof” is most important to you then the thinner membrane type would probably be the best choice even though they are less breathable and may affect sleeping temperature.
