Mattress Shopping in Ottawa

[phoenix]

Hi magpie,

If the Obasan cover contains a lot of wool for padding, then the initial comfort it has may decrease with time as the wool compresses thus losing the initial advantage this cover has over the simpler Hardy cover. You may be better off with the Hardy cover and getting a separate wool filled pad that can be replaced as it firms up from compression.

I’m not so sure I would frame this as a better or worse choice as much as a personal preference because there are pros and cons to both sides. There is more about the pros and cons of wool quilting in post #6 here.

Did Tony say where he gets his latex from? If it is 100% natural from overseas I have heard rumours that Health Canada will treat these with insecticide before releasing them to the vendor.

Almost all 100% natural Dunlop would come from overseas (the only North American source would be the continuous pour Dunlop that is made by Mountaintop foam) but a shipment only has to be fumigated if it’s shipped on untreated wooden pallets and I doubt that any experienced importer would be foolish enough to use them (see post #2 here).
