Hi Beuge,
I would be very cautious about brand shopping in general because you are buying a specific mattress not the brand and most manufacturers have access to the same or similar components and materials. Many manufacturers make a wide range of mattresses that can vary from lower quality and less durable materials to higher quality and more durable materials in a wide range of prices. The name of the manufacturer on the label or the price of the mattress won’t tell you anything about whether a specific mattress is suitable for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP or whether there are any lower quality materials or weak links in the design that would affect the durability and useful life of the mattress. There is more about the risks of brand shopping in post #5 here and post #12 here.
Nature’s Rest is part of Spring Air which has been making mattresses for many years but it sounds like they make a range of mattresses in Singapore and each of their specific models would be different from the others and may use different combinations of materials and components in different budget ranges that could affect the durability and the useful life of the specific mattress you are considering.
The choice between different types and blends of latex is more of a preference and budget choice rather than a “better/worse” choice but any type or blend of latex is a durable material relative to other types of foam materials. There is more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here and more about how Dunlop compares to Talalay in general in post #7 here but the best way to know which type or blend of latex you tend to prefer will be based on your own testing and/or your own personal experience.
Any latex in a mattress wouldn’t be the weakest link of the mattress but a mattress that includes latex may also include other materials and components as well that are less durable than latex that could certainly affect the durability of the mattress.
While nobody can speak to how any specific mattress will “feel” for someone else or whether it will be a good “match” in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences) because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances and you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress … outside of PPP (which is the most important part of “value”), the next most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. This is the part of your research that you can’t see or “feel” and assessing the durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new so I would always make sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.
If you can find out all the information in the “mattress specifications you need to know” article I linked about any specific mattress you are looking at and post it on the forum then I’d certainly be happy to let you know if there are any lower quality and less durable materials or weak links in the mattress that could compromise the durability and useful life of the mattress.
