Hi cub682,
[quote]I ordered my Ultimate Dreams mattress on 3/2/13, I received it on 3/8/13. The tag on the mattress states it was made on 2/15/13.
The tag also states it’s made of 66% urethane foam and 34% talalay latex.
There is no mention on tag or shipping materials of the comfort level I ordered.[/quote]
The tag on a mattress or what is called the “law tag” only indicates the materials in the mattress by weight. It doesn’t contain any thickness or “comfort” information.
[quote]I thought each mattress was custom made after order and choice of comfort level. Maybe I received a returned mattress.
I am worried about the quality and longevity of materials and if I even received the correct comfort level I ordered.[/quote]
They don’t sell returned mattresses (and they don’t normally even offer returns anyway on their Amazon mattresses) and because there would be several layering combinations that were more common, most manufacturers would make these ahead of time or there would be significant delays in making and shipping any particular mattress.
It is blended talalay latex made by Latex International. In other words it is 100% Talalay (this is the type of manufacturing process used to make the latex and all latex would be either Talalay or Dunlop) and it uses Latex International’s blended Talalay (you can read more about the different types of latex in this article and in post #6 here).
Yes.
I’m not sure what you are reading but they are among the most open and transparent on the internet and provide every detail of the layering of their mattress on their Amazon site. I don’t know how you could possibly call it either vague or misleading when it is very specific and clear about every material in the mattress (and they will also answer any question you may have as well). I agree though that if you had questions that it would have been a good idea to ask them before ordering.
they certainly are very quick and their speed of service has always been good as well. How long did it take for you to receive replies to your emails?
Yes … the price is excellent and the mattress will certainly last that long before the materials break down but of course only you can know from your own personal experience if it matches your specific needs and preferences in terms of pressure relief and alignment (how suitable it is for your body type, sleeping positions, and preferences) although they have a very good record of helping people to decide on the layering that has the best odds of success. the suitability of a mattress though has little to nothing to do with the quality of the materials or how long they will last
