Hi Boston_PA,
[quote]Was wondering if anyone has any information regarding the following:
Spindle Abscond 10" Latex vs. BrooklynnBedding Total Latex 10"[/quote]
The Spindle Abscond uses 3 x 3" layers of 100% natural continuous pour Dunlop with a wool quilted zip cover. You can choose the firmness of each of the layers and re-arrange the layers or exchange any one of them for a different firmness level after a purchase (see here). The complete description is here. For those who wish more detailed information yet then they are happy to provide it with an email or phone call.
The Brooklyn Bedding Total Latex mattress uses a 6" support core in your choice of either Talalay or Dunlop in different firmess levels and has a 3" layer of blended Talalay in the top layer with your choice of firmness. It has a cover that is quilted with wool and a thin layer of polyfoam. You can exchange the latex comfort layer for a different firmness level after a purchase (see here). The complete description is here (in each of the tabs). For those who wish more detailed information about this mattress then they are also happy to provide it with an email or phone call.
Both of them are members of the site which means I think highly of them and they both compete well with the best in the industry.
There is more about the different types and blends of latex in post #6 here but the choice between 100% natural Dunlop and blended Talalay would be a personal preference choice. There is also more about the differences in “feel” between Dunlop and Talalay in post #7 here but the best way to know which one you may prefer is with your own personal testing and experience.
There is more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here that may also be helpful.
When you are down to finalists that are choices between “good and good” and there are no clear winners between them then your final choice (see post #2 here) would come down to all the objective, subjective, and intangible parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you.
You are in the enviable position that both of your final choices are great quality/value and I personally wouldn’t hesitate to buy either of them but you are the only one that can decide which one is “best for you” regardless of whether anyone else would make the same choice.
