stores with larger assortment of latex beds

[phoenix]

Hi Minnesota,

I realize the string here is going off the original subject of looking for latex beds, so feel free to start a new thread if you think that would be better.

Since it’s your topic … you can take it in any direction you would like to go

What is your opinion on edge supports?

You can see my thoughts about edge support for innersprings in post #2 here and for polyfoam and memory foam mattresses in post #33 here and for latex mattresses in post #3 here.

He said coils are less expensive than foam, which is why OMF does that, just to save on cost.

While it would depend on the specifics … it’s usually the other way around. Foam is less costly than steel. With an innerspring mattess where there is a foam surround and you are likely to sit on the edge of the mattress I would want to know that the foam was good quality/density (1.8 lbs or higher) so it was less likely to sag with the more concentrated weight of sitting.
