Need help with Canadian Retailers

[phoenix]

Hi Mattress,

Hi Phoenix, any issues of buying a latex mattress with a Polyfoam base, I have allergies to dust and mold.

You can see my comments about an all latex mattress vs a latex/polyfoam hybrid in post #2 here. They can be a good choice for someone in a lower budget range where an all latex mattress isn’t possible.

There is more about dust mite allergies and a link to more information about mattress encasements in post #2 here.

And what is the max amount of inches to consider for the polyfoam base, should I only be looking for 2 inches and no more for the base?

There is no lower or upper “limit” as long as the materials are good quality and suitable for your weight, budget, and your needs and preferences in terms of PPP. If the mattress is suitable for you in terms of PPP and the materials are good quality and the mattress is the best match for the parts of your personal value equation that are important to you compared to your other finalists then the thickness of the layers and components would be “right” for you.

By the way when did it become so confusing when using the terms organic or natural, I have to drill retailers and even when they say 100 percent natural , I find there is a blend of some sort. Am I right in assuming Soy and Bio foam are not organic, I mean pure?

Soy foam and Bio foam are just versions of polyfoam that have replaced a small portion of one of the two main chemicals used to make it (the polyols) with a soy or plant oil based derivative (see post #2 here). While it may be a small step in the direction of using more renewable and sustainable materials … there isn’t any polyfoam (regardless of whether some of the polyols are plant oil based) which is either natural or organic since most of the chemicals used to make polyfoam are petrochemicals.
