This seems to be a popular topic lately! But my question doesn’t seem to relate to anything already posted (recently, nor could I find by searching)…
Did certain PLB models come in both “Natural” and “All Natural?”
On their current website their Natural line (blended) includes: Pamper, Nature, Nutrition, Beautiful
While their All Natural line (100% latex I believe) includes: Eco, Sustain, Renew
So, there is no overlap there.
But today, I visited a store that had both a blended version (with a blue cover) and what they said was 100% latex (with a white cover) of Pamper, Nature & Beautiful. When comparing the blue cover mattresses to the white cover mattresses, they were very similar, hard to tell apart.
Question - is this legit? Did they in the past make a 2 versions of those three models?
Also, unrelated, do the Eco and Sustain have wool in their covers? The website doesn’t say, but the store I was at today said they did (but he didn’t have any in his store).
Yes … the PLB line used to have a Pamper, Nature, and Beautiful in “all natural” versions which used 100% natural Talalay latex in addition to the current line which uses “natural” Talalay which is a blend of natural and synthetic latex. You can see the old site that listed them here. The “all natural” have a 10 year warranty while the “natural” have a 20 year warranty. The “all natural” line was replaced by their current all natural lineup here.
The old “all natural” line was very similar to the natural line (including the current one) in terms of softness and “feel” but they are more costly and as you are mentioning they don’t have the blue “active fusion” cover and it has a 10 year warranty not 20. They may still be available in some areas of the country (depending on which factory is making them) but they are not commonly seen. They may also be old stock and you can see the manufacturing date on the law tag.
Yes … they use wool as the fire retardant layer (see here).
Oh thank you! You answered my question exactly. And good to know that the store I went to today wasn’t yanking my chain because they seemed legit, and very nice too.
