new mattress build

[phoenix]

Hi gibson,

-agreed, definitely have to try it, im more trying to figure whats going to last the longest

That will depend on many factors as which you can read about in post #4 here and the posts it connects to.

-for sure, thats why i thought that latex topper from sears would be a good bet in case its not what i was after i could return it.

One of the good things about some of the big box stores is often their return policy. The Sears return policy though needs some careful reading. You have 3 days to return their toppers for a refund but ONLY if you don’t open the packaging and sleep on it. Once it is opened you can’t return it at all. The 30 - 90 day return policy applies to exchanges only.

The topper is also 32 ILD Dunlop which many people would find to be on the firm side.

-if both met my PPP, what would be more durable, a 6" HR poly-foam mattress for $800 or the 7" natural latex mattress from ikea, the sultan edsele for $1000

Both would be very durable materials. As the previous posts also indicated … it would also depend on some of the other durability factors involved. While it’s not possible to know how long lasting any specific combination would be for a particular person in terms of years … in relative terms and if all the other durability factors are “equal” then the latex would likely be more durable.

any other recommendations for a reasonably priced latex mattress?

The Vancouver list has the best places I know of that I would include in my research. Post #21 here has some of the online options I know of that are available in Canada.
