Talalay topper sags in less than 2 weeks

Hi jege,

I can’t understand why you criticize the Big S brands for not stating the specifications of there foam and yet when a non S brand lies about there specifications you don’t seem to think it’s big deal, maybe a double standard here Phoenix?

I think you may be stretching things a bit here and finding reasons to criticize or vent at anyone or anything including me … (and ironically enough I was the one who made the phone call and helped you confirm the information you wanted to know) but the simple answer is the same as I told you before … I don’t believe anyone is lying here or trying to keep anything secret or “proprietary”.

From all the research I have read here on this site you have always said that the more natural the latex is the better and warned against fraudsters in the industry usually pointing fingers at the S brands.

Then you haven’t read very much of what I’ve written about latex and you also haven’t read the many posts where I talk about avoiding more “absolute” comparisons where there can be pros and cons to any choice. You can see for example this article along with post #6 here and post #2 here and post #2 here and post #6 here and many more … all of which go into great detail about the differences between different types of and blends of latex so that people can decide for themselves which is “better” according to what is most important to them. Blended talalay though in lower ILD’s is more durable than all natural Talalay and the manufacturer’s warranty for all natural is only half as long.

I don’t think I’ve talked much about “fraud” which has a very different meaning and is a completely different topic than most of what I talk about on the forum … including the practices of the “S” brands.

Oh and by the way I knew I was buying blended but at 85/15 not 30/70 and that’s a huge difference and IMO I have good reason to be PO don’t you think so?

As I said … it’s clearly a mistake but I wouldn’t be nearly as upset as you are when I had the ability to receive a complete refund if I wasn’t happy with a product I purchased. I would probably be disappointed yes … but not angry … and I don’t think I’m quite as critical or “reactive” as you are to mistakes … especially when someone goes out of their way to help you first identify them and/or correct them.
