Question regarding the Quality of the FIN14 Mattress

Hi azetab,

There is more about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).

While I can’t speak to how any specific mattress will “feel” for someone else because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances and you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress … outside of PPP (which is the most important part of “value”) the next most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. This is the part of your research that you can’t see or “feel” and assessing the durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new) so I would always make sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the quality/durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.

You can see some comments about 11" version of the Finbed mattress in this topic and my comments about the 14" version would be the same since it uses the same materials.

There are no lower quality materials or weak links in the mattress that would be a reason for concern in terms of durability relative to most weight ranges although I would be cautious if you are in a higher weight range (more than the lower 200’s or so) because of the 4 lb memory foam and the 1.8 lb base layer.

The BME uses a 2" layer of blended Talalay latex over a 2" layer of synthetic continuous pour latex on top of a 6" 2.0 lb polyfoam base layer so it uses a little higher quality and more durable materials that would be suitable for any weight range.

Dreamfoam makes many mattresses so I would need to know which one you are comparing it to to make any meaningful comments.
