Newbie needs help with mattress selection

Hi Mehta,

Yes. With Talalay latex both materials are Oeko-Tex 100 class 1 certified as being safe for babies in terms of chemicals and offgassing. the blended Talalay is a little more durable in the softer ILD’s than the 100% natural Talalay and also less expensive. For those who are willing to pay more for a denser and more “natural” choice … then the all natural is also a great choice but it comes with a lower warranty (10 years vs 20) and a higher price tag.

With Dunlop latex it’s the other way around and my preference would be 100% natural over blended which I believe is a better material in the different and more dense Dunlop manufacturing process. There’s more about the different types of latex here.different types of latex here and in post #2 here.

The Original mattress design is two sided which means they both have a support core and identical comfort layers and quilting/ticking are on both sides of the mattress so it can be flipped. In addition to the materials listed, both of their models have an inch of soft polyfoam in the quilting materials to create a softer surface.

My personal preference among the four outlets I listed would be the first two (Dilworth and My Luxury Mattress) because the selection and/or ability to customize your choices would be greater. While I don’t know their prices on all their models so I can’t speak to exactly how they would compare to the other two in terms of value … I would definitely include them in your options. While My Luxury Mattress is a little further away, they would be well worth a phone call and a conversation to see if you think they would be worth the drive once you’ve done some initial research and have a sense of how different layering feels for you.

The regional outlets (Original mattress and Denver) have a more limited latex selection (2 latex or “mostly” latex models each) and don’t have the ability to customize their options to your preferences so you would need to “fit” one their models … although they do have good value.
