Hi Bryce720,
There is more about so called “soy based” or other “plant based” foams in post #2 here. They are just versions of polyurethane foams (polyfoam) and I would use the same density guidelines as I would use for any type of polyfoam.

This mattress is on sale for $1599, according to him this is there top seller and he feels a better choice than the hybrid?? [/quote]
What you need to know to make an informed choice and make meaningful comparisons with other mattresses is the thickness of each layer, the type and blend of any latex, and the density of any memory foam or polyfoam in the mattress. Unlike memory foam and polyfoam where the foam density is the single biggest factor in durability … the density of latex is more related to firmness not to the quality or durability of the material.
If you can provide all the information about each of the individual layers in the mattress (listed from top to bottom or from bottom to top) and post them on the forum I’d be able to make some more meaningful comments about the quality and durability of the materials and the mattress “as a whole”.
