Still not sure

Hi Bobbie,

It’s not unusual at all that some retailers have their own name for a mattress. Your mattress uses blended latex in the deeper layers (they call this natural and 100% natural latex is called 'all natural) with an inch of Dunlop on top (the convoluted layer) which are good quality materials and your mattress is very similar to either the Natura Bloom plush or the Natura Thrive plush which strangely enough have the same layers. It’s possible that the Thrive has an extra inch of Talalay which would make it the same as yours. There is less wool in this than the Dolcezza. You can read more about the different types of latex in post #6 here … and as you can see there isn’t any such thing as organic Talalay anyway … only blended or 100% natural.

So overall the Natura uses all very good quality materials … but it also has a higher cost than many other mattresses that use similar materials (particularly blended talalay in similar amounts).

I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback about what you find at some of the other Boston area manufacturers and retailers.
