Searching for a King Memory foam for under $1000

[phoenix]

Hi inhislove,

The bed is 2" gel core memory foam of 4.2 density , 2" Ultra Core memory foam of 4.6 density, and 6" of high resiliency base foam (their wording). This is a mattress liquidation place, and I didn’t get the sense the guy knew what those density numbers meant. I cannot find anything to know if it is above 3 lb density per your recommendations for longevity.

The number you provided are the density (and they are 4 lb or better). The only number missing is the density of the base foam which is probably OK but I would want to know (and I believe that mLily would provide this to the retailer).

If they are a liquidator I would also make sure they are an authorized dealer for mLily and not selling used, defective, comfort exchange, or “scratch and dent” mattresses which may be used.

What are your thoughts? Is Chinese-made foam that is CertiPur US certifed safe as far as emissions (or at least as safe as USA made CertifPur foam)? I like the fact that Brooklyn Bedding uses foam Made in the USA, but we also like do business locally with a product we can actually lie on.

Yes … Certipur tests for the same things regardless of the country the foam was manufactured in and as you can see in the memory foam guidelines I use in post #10 here I would certainly consider Chinese foam that was certified. There are some good Chinese manufacturers and some poor ones and Health Care Foam who makes the foam in the mLily is one of the better ones. As long as you know the density of all the layers and it is either US made or CertiPur certified it would meet the guidelines I think are important.
