Thank you. This is interesting because in the case of the iComfort insight, they have a okay quality top layer, but a substandard base foam. And in this case, they have a decent base, but the top layers are low quality.
It seems like if I could buy a base layer of this or higher quality and put a topper like the insight has, I would get something that is affordable and of good quality --plus as the top layer wore out, I could replace it with a new topper.
I have no idea how to do it, but I feel like buying these beds should be done like making a layer cake, selecting the layers you want and stacking them. I wonder if the place in Berkeley does something like that? Also, if I treat these as separate layers, do they need to be glued together or can the topper simply rest upon the base and/or other layers that are part of it?
Thank you for the information.
[quote=“Phoenix” post=10274]Hi protege,
Sleepworld certainly wouldn’t be one of my choices in the Bay area (see post #2 here). There are some great choices in the area but Sleepworld isn’t one of them IMO.
2.5 lb memory foam is about the lowest quality you can find and I would avoid it completely with the possible exception of a very thin quilting layers (@ 1" or so).
3 lb memory foam is also very low quality/density.
I personally wouldn’t go below 4 lb memory foam and if you are in the range of 200 lbs or so than I would hesitate to go below 5 lbs if durability is an issue (except again for very thin layers).
1.9 lb base foam is better quality than the Sertas (1.8 lb is usually the minimum I consider to be acceptable … at least in the top part of a support layer and in a reasonable budget).
These are not good choices in terms of either quality or value IMO.
