Hi LaurieF,
Only the Dunlop in the Savvy Rest is organic. There isn’t any certified organic Talalay latex.
[quote]Is the primary difference between the WJS Linklaen and the Savvy Rest or Sleepez the fact that WJS uses a 6" layer of solid latex under a 3" top layer while the Savvy Rest and Sleepez are two separate 3" layers under the 3" top layers?
Would that explain why the WJS Linklaen costs significantly more than the Sleepez?[/quote]
The Savvy Rest and SleepEZ are both component latex mattresses that have 3 customizable layers of latex with different firmness options (SleepEZ has 4 firmness options for each layer and Savvy Rest has 3) that can be rearranged or exchanged to provide different levels of “comfort” or “support”. Both of them have a wool quilted cover. The Linklaen has an individually wrapped 6" support core and 3" comfort layer and a wool quilted cover as well and has two firmness options for the support core. There may also be differences between the type and breed or the amount of the wool in each of the covers and the type and thickness of the cotton fabric that they each use which would also affect their raw material costs and the prices of their mattresses. All of them also have split firmness options in king and queen sizes as well and have the option to exchange a layer after a purchase. Other than these differences I have no “inside knowledge” of their raw material, manufacturing, or business costs or why each of them price their mattresses the way they do other than the variables that I mentioned in my previous link.
You can see some comments about this in post #2 here.
The mattress shopping tutorial includes a link to a list of the members here that sell mattresses online (in the optional online step) and many of them also make latex mattresses (including component mattresses) that use different types and blends of latex that have a range of different designs, options, features, return and exchange policies, and prices.
All of the mattresses you are considering are certainly high quality and durable mattresses and there are no when you are down to a list of finalists that are all choices between “good and good” and if there are no clear winners between them then you are in the fortunate position that any of them would likely be a suitable choice and post #2 here can help you make a final choice based on your local experiences or online conversations with each of them, your confidence about the suitability of each one, the options you have after a purchase, and on “informed best judgement” based on all the other objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
