Questions regarding Brooklyn Bedding Bamboo Bliss

[phoenix]

Hi gregoryallen,

While they would generally be the best source of information about the mattresses they make … I’m certainly happy to answer the questions that I can

1) In the King, I understand that the “comfort layer” is in 2 pieces. Is there any divider between the two sections (anything noticeable through the cover), or any tendency for them to separate and create a gap? We’ve had a terrible experience with a divided sleep-number bed at the in-laws and want to make sure we have nothing like that.

No … there is no divider between the layers and the latex layer on one side butts up directly against the layer on the other side with nothing in between them.

2) My wife is quite allergic (contact only) to wool. It appears that the wool in the Bamboo Bliss is well separated from the sleeping surface (and of course, there would be a pad and sheets beyond that). Has anyone ever reported an allergy issue with the wool?

As you mentioned wool allergies are generally a contact allergy (see this topic) so they aren’t normally an issue with wool used in quilting layers that don’t have direct contact and I don’t remember anyone reporting any wool allergy issues with the Bamboo Bliss … most likely because there wouldn’t be any contact with the wool. Having said that … I have seen a few reports of some people having issues with wool quilted covers or toppers on occasion but these probably wouldn’t be contact allergies or sensitivities.

3) The only consistent complaint I’ve seen about Dreamfoam and Brooklyn mattresses is a tendency to sag after a year or more of use. I’ve seen some of those cases attributed to an inadequate foundation. Does anyone know of counter examples?

I’m not sure of what you mean by “counter examples” but there are certainly many people (the large majority of their customers) who have been sleeping well on a Dreamfoam or Brooklyn Bedding mattress for as long as they have owned it and many of these have had their mattress for many years with no issues. Any significant sagging in a mattress (virtual or visible) will depend on a number of factors including the body type and sleeping positions of the person, the specifics of the materials in their mattress, and on where they were in the “range” of firmness/softness that would be suitable for them when they first purchased the mattress. There is a more detailed discussion of all of this in post #2 here that may be helpful.
