My daughter had an adjustable base and a 7" latex mattress from Spindle for the past decade. The model was called “Blue Shoal” and it was described as medium firmness. We passed the bed and the mattress along to a friend about a year ago.
Her current set up is the 12" Brooklyn Bedding mattress (its not latex). It is way too firm for her. She really would like to go back to what she had before. Of course, Spindle no longer sells that mattress. This will be for a twin sized bed. The Princess and The Pea is about 100 lbs- young adult.
I would appreciate any advice on what might be a close match to the latex mattress she had before. Thanks!
Hello sparrow1!
Welcome to our Mattress Forum 
I ran to the Spindle site to see if there was a comparable option but alas, there is not. So, I’ve gone through our Trusted Members instead to see what may be most comparable.
Here’s what I found! (Give or take an inch - literally)
- Model: (6") Organic Latex Essential
- Build: Consists of two 3" layers of certified organic GOLS Dunlop latex.
- Medium Configuration: You can request a “Medium” feel by choosing their 3" Medium Dunlop over 3" Firm Dunlop setup.
- Height: Exactly 6".
- Model: Latex Classic
- Build: An 8" all-latex design featuring a 6" dense latex core topped with a 2" softer, elastic Talalay latex layer.
- Medium Configuration: Available in a range of firmness options, including a balanced medium feel.
- Height: 8" total.
- Model: Organic Latex Mattress
- Build: A highly customizable all-latex mattress featuring multiple layers (2" and 3") of GOLS-certified Organic Dunlop or 100% Natural Talalay latex. It is encased in a 1" GOTS-certified organic cotton cover quilted to eco-friendly Joma wool.
- Thickness Options: Available in four heights to suit different needs:
- 7" (Two layers): Best for a sleek profile, children, or guest rooms.
- 9" (Three layers - one 2" + two 3"): Slightly more supportive/firmer feel.
- 10" (Three layers - three 3"): The most popular “balanced” choice for most body types.
- 13" (Four layers - four 3"): Maximum adjustability; recommended for sleepers over 300 lbs.
- Medium Configuration: Because every layer is customizable, a “Medium” feel is easily achieved. A common recommendation is a Soft Talalay top layer over Medium and Firm Dunlop base layers.
- Model: Solid Core Latex
- Build: 7" of solid latex
- Medium Configuration: They provide specific ILD (firmness) ratings for their cores, typically suggesting a 28 ILD for those seeking a true medium feel.
