Question regarding Pure Latex Bliss Eco

[Deal]

@Phoenix

Hi Deal,

It’s possible that the information I have about the ILD of the layers is incorrect (although it came from a reliable source so I don’t think so) but the type of cover can also have a significant effect on how soft or firm a mattress “feels” (see post #6 here) so this could be playing a significant role if you are comparing the PLB “Organic collection” with the quilted cover and the “Ultimate collection” with the thinner stretch cover. Other than this … firmness and softness can also be very subjective so sometimes there just isn’t an explanation for why a particular person feels one mattress as being softer or firmer than another one when “theory” or specs would indicate otherwise. In these cases personal experience always “trumps” theory.

Thanks for the information. The post you referred to on wool covers was very useful and interesting. In searching for customer reviews of the “Sustain” model I’m considering for purchase, I came across this site, which purports to have the specifications for all the layers for PLB mattresses. It suggests the layer arrangement is:

The specs for the other PLB mattresses on that web site are close but not identical to those specified in post # 2 here.
