MyGreenMattress Evergreen v. Verlo Triumph v. QualitySleep Everlast

Hi aurorajp,

We’re hoping for a mattress that is going to provide us with comfort and hopefully 15-20 years worth of use. I doubt the Everlast would provide that even if we changed out the topper after 8-10 years. What do you think we can expect life-wise out of each of these based on our body types / sleeping style?

There are many factors involved with durability and how long a mattress will last for any particular person and some of these are subjective and some are objective. You can see some of the many factors involved in post #4 here and the two other posts it links to. In other words … it’s not really possible to predict the durability of a mattress for any particular person in numerical terms but only in relative terms.

Should we rule out the Everlast if we’re looking for greater longevity. Tim seemed to really like the Everlast and spent the most time on that one.

-Choice of Ingeo or Bamboo cover - Would one be better than the other for a hot sleeper?

These are questions that would be much better asked of Tim. He would have far greater knowledge and experience with his own specific designs and components than I would and “real life” experience and long term customer feedback on specific designs is always more valuable than “theory”. In “theoretical” terms … the Everlast likely wouldn’t have the same durability as latex because of the greater percentage of polyfoam and memory foam in it although they are also higher quality materials than the “norm”. Experience has the advantage of being able to combine all of the multiple variables and unknowns and amalgamate them all into a whole rather than trying to analyze all the layers independently and only “imagine” how they may interact together with different people.

I haven’t gotten ILD #'s on the latex from the Verlo bed, and I’m also curious about the longeivty of the AcellaFlex core.

I believe that the Acellaflex is 2.0 lb polyfoam (which is certainly a suitable density base layer) but they can confirm this for certain. It is also at the bottom of the mattress where it’s affect on the overall durability of the mattress would be much less than the same layer on top. the ILD of the latex is a “comfort spec” and is not really important when you are testing mattresses in person (your body will tell you more about the pressure relief and support of the mattress than knowing the ILD). The “weak link” of most mattresses are the comfort layers or the layers in the top half or so of the mattress and the the deeper layers will affect performance more than durability for the most part.

I like that the Evergreen is a flip, I’m assuming we may get the longest life out of this one because of that, and we’ll be able to choose our desired firmness which is nice.

Yes … a mattress that can be flipped will even out the softening and wear on the mattress and will extend the durability significantly compared to one sided designs … even with materials like latex that are already very durable.

You are in a very good position where you have eliminated all the worst choices and are deciding between “good and good”. When you reach this point the final choices are more about personal preferences and the most effective way to decide is to consider all the tradeoffs and preferences that are most important to you so that your final choice is the one that best matches your personal value equation.

FWIW … in quality and “value” terms … I would be leaning towards Quality Sleep / My Green Mattress vs Verlo because they really do have some of the best quality and value in the country
