Hi yabssor,

I would need to know the information listed in this article to be able to make any meaningful comments about the quality and durability of a mattress and help you identify any potential weak links in its design.

Mattress #1 $1353

1" 4lb gel memory foam
2" 2.5lb gel memory foam
7" 1.5lb poly foam

As you can see in the foam quality/durability guidelines here … the 1" of 4 lb memory foam is a good quality material but the 2" of 2.5 lb gel memory foam in combination with the 7" 1.5 lb base layer are lower quality and less durable materials than I would be comfortable with and I would consider them to be a “weak link” in this mattress. This is a mattress that I would avoid.

I’m curious about your repeated comments about lower-density foams being universally less desirable than higher. Referencing Sleep Like the Dead’s memory foam density data we can see that owner satisfaction is even between all densities. What is it about lower-density foam that makes you consider it a “weak link”?

I’m also confused by why you consider 1.5lb poly foam undesirable since you specifically list it as acceptable for a support core repeatedly on this forum.

While the top 3" of this mattress are a high quality and durable material … I would need to know the type and density of the foam in the middle and bottom layers of this mattress to be able to make any meaningful comments about this mattress in terms of it’s durability and the useful life of the mattress. The numbers you provided are most likely ILD/IFD numbers (although the bottom layer has a wider range than it should have) which are a “comfort spec” rather than a “quality/durability” spec. If you can find out the missing information that I would need I’d be happy to make some additional comments about this mattress.

What do you mean by “comfort spec” and “quality/durability spec”? Are quality and durability governed exclusively by the foam density?

I will update my information shortly! Thanks!
