Pure Talalay Bliss vs SleepEZ

[phoenix]

Hi Hairimagineer,

Thank you for this additional information! I finally talked to a rep at Pure Talalay Bliss today

It’s good to know they saw your question and got back to you. This may be a better avenue for people wishing to speak with them in the future if they are monitoring heir facebook page.

She wouldn’t give the amount of the blend and said that they don’t tell salespeople this info either.

It’s the 70/30 SBR/NR that I mentioned to you in my previous post.

She did say they only make one blend so what they sell to SleepEZ is the same blend they use in PTB so that makes me feel better that I can recreate the Beautiful with the comfort of having a return policy and be able to exchange layers if need be.

Yes, as I mentioned in my previous reply, all of the Talalay latex you’re likely to encounter is the 70/30 SBR/NR blend.

She did say that they gave their 100% line only a 10 year warranty compared to the synthetic blend line a 20 year warranty because.

Their blended line has a 15 year warranty, not 20 years. That was their old warranty in the Active Fusion line. The change happened in March of 2016. Their natural line did have a 10 year warranty. It was less durable, as I mentioned earlier in this thread. The length of a warranty isn’t necessarily an indicator of the durability of a product, only a guarantee against defects in workmanship, but in this case the item with the longer warranty is more durable.

She said that the warranty claims they have often are because a poor foundation was used. I asked if she saw more of the 100% latex come back and she said they had more claims than the synthetic line, but still it was usually because of the base.

This is common with all mattress lines, and it is important that an appropriate foundation be used with any mattress style. Sagging of a mattress due to an improper foundation would not qualify for a warranty replacement.

She said that she liked the feel of the synthetic more, that it seemed more comforting.

That would depend upon the ILDs being compared, the layering, and of course personal preference.

She compared the synthetic to a car tire, but that concerns me because tires definately offgas. I asked her about offgassing and there wasn’t anything specific about that she could find except that their certification says that the mattresses are not toxic.

As I mentioned in my previous reply in post #2, All the latex you are likely to encounter (either Dunlop or Talalay that is made with either natural or synthetic rubber or a blend of both) will have a reliable certification such as Oeko-Tex, Eco-Institut, Greenguard Gold or C2C and based on actual testing I would consider any type or blend of latex (regardless of whether it is synthetic, natural, or blended) to be a very “safe” material in terms of harmful substances and VOC’s (offgassing). Their latex is Oeko-Tex certified, so I would have no concerns about off-gassing. Her tire analogy is a poor one, as that is an entirely different product and process.

Does the other plant, Radium I think, also make quality Talalay and a durable synthetic?

Yes. If you read post #2 here from my previous reply that is discussed. Their natural is more durable than their synthetic, but again both are very durable products.

Your paragraph about latex with coils underneath got cut off. I’d love to know what you said.

I fixed it – thank you for catching that broken link!

I hope you make lots of commission or some great kick backs because this seems like a full time job keeping such a thorough forum going

Thank you. You can see how the site and the time and efforts that go into it are supported in the Our Services/how we survive link in the main menu and there is more detailed information in post #4 here.
