Hi mmusic88,
Yes … as you can see in an earlier reply today here latex or all types is generally a higher quality, cost, and performance material than most polyfoam and all other things being equal I would personally choose more latex and less polyfoam over a mattress that was the other way around. Of course any benefit is limited to what each person is able to notice and feel in their own personal experience and there is little “value” in paying for something that makes little difference for someone in their own “real life experience” but it would be my choice if I could comfortably afford it.
This is more about the commodity value of a mattress though which is connected to the relative cost of all the foam and other materials and components in a mattress (including the cover and quilting) which of course is an important part of “value” but there may also be other preferences and tradeoffs that are part of each person’s personal value equation that are just as important to them as the “commodity value” of a mattress.
If you mean 2" of latex vs 6" of latex (not necessarily Talalay which is just one type of latex) and everything else was “equal”, then it would be a “deal changer” for me yes. You can read more about the different types of latex and their approximate relative “value” in post #6 here
