Spindle Mattresses

[phoenix]

Hi HudaThunkit,

Thank you, but I was looking at their 7 inch model with 100% natural Dunlop latex and comparing it to similar models elsewhere.

Their 100% natural Dunlop uses a continuous pour process but otherwise would be roughly comparable to other types of 100% natural Dunlop that is made in a mold.

The only significant difference that I see with their model compared to others is that they use the polyfoam in their quilting instead of the wool.

How they compare would depend on which mattress you are comparing them to but the main differences would probably be the “feel” (not the quality) of their Dunlop, the firmness levels and layer options that are available, along with the cover materials (which can be a significant part of the cost of a mattress) and of course any of the other criteria of your personal value equation that are important to you. In terms of quality and durability their Dunlop would be closely comparable to other mattresses that used 6" of 100% natural molded Dunlop. They are certainly a good quality/value option. Mountaintop Foam also makes the Dunlop latex that is used in Ikea mattresses (such as the Edsele here which uses a slightly different blend with 85% natural rubber).

Can you explain to me what I may be gaining or losing by having the cover filled with poly foam instead of with wool?
