Nature's Legacy Latex Mattress

Hi KSSOD,

The foam core is really not an issue I believe, since it is the base so to speak.

With 6.8" of latex in the top layers … the polyfoam base layer wouldn’t be a durability issue although it will affect how it feels and performs compared to an all latex mattress (see post #2 here).

I am a bit worried about the edge durability/sagging and sleep area, as there is no foam support border like in a “traditional” mattress.

This wouldn’t be an issue for most people with a latex mattress that uses firm support layers. You can see some comments about edge support for latex mattresses in post #3 here. You will also be able to test this when you test the mattress for PPP.

If the latex is synthetic or 50:50, does that mean that there is filler? I had read that there filler is abrasive and can lead to a quick breakdown of the latex.

A 50/50 blend means that half of the rubber in the formula is natural and the other half is synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber isn’t a “filler”. If a latex core (regardless of the type or the blend of the latex) uses too much filler it can affect the durability of the latex but in this isn’t an issue with the better latex manufacturers.
