[quote=āLisa_mochaā post=25053]Thanks again Dn and Phoenix for your feedback:)
Dn, we did try 1 Greensleep mattress at Soma in TO. Can I tell you how much I loved the cover on itā¦pure coziness and luxury! Seems a shame to cover it up!
I canāt recall the modelā¦perhaps it was the vicense or the dolcezza. It def. was more expensive than the top Sleeptek matress which was $4200.
Did you try the Sleeptec as well? We were told some people found the Greensleep to be a little more firmā¦not sure I could tell a big difference. For the Sleeptek euro 4, my side was soft/ soft/med and quite comfortable. (Husbands was soft/med/firmā¦I think)
Wonder how a flobeds mattress stacks upā¦there is certainly positive feedback about them on-line.
FYI, we tried a wool topper at another store and I really liked the feel of them. A king topper was going to run @ $1000 and we were advised they could pack down quite quickly and could possibly be 2-3 yrs and would need to be replaced. Iām certainly hoping to get away with not requiring one.
Have you by any chance heard of the Lanoodle topper by Cozypure? ( on-line) Again, lots of great reviews on thisā¦
This topper does have me intrigued, but will wait to see how we fare with the mattress one we receiveā¦if I can make a final decision,lol, on which one to go with!
VRAMā¦wishing you luck too with your continued searchā¦maybe weāll settle on the same thing:)[/quote]
Hi Lisa;
Basically we got the same advice as you. We had felt we wanted a touch firmer, and so were directed the Green Sleep route vs Sleeptek since some people find green sleep a tad firmer. Yes, we did try both sleeptek and green sleep and liked both. Iād guess if you tried a Green Sleep it was the Dolcezza (seems to be the flagship model they have people try). The vicence is very similar, 9" latex in vicence vs 9.5" in Dolcezza - slightly different layering. Mostly, we felt the Dolcezza had the topper which while excellent, we thought we could get a separate topper if we decided it was needed having tested the mattress alone first, and as a separate topper could replace it as needed (vs. having it built into the mattress cover), therefore getting the vicence. The ātopperā on the Dolcezza is basically a premium topper (soft latex + wool + some silk I believe). We felt the Sleeptek Classic 1000 /2000 /3000 toppers would give us choice if we needed to that, and having tried them in store to compare side by side in store felt very similar - hence trying the classic 2000 wool topper now (i.e. the $300-500 we saved on the vicence vs the Dolcezza is the value of the topper). The Classic 2000 is in the neighborhood of $1000 for the kingā¦ a bit less (or possibly somewhat less with the purchase of a bed if you get through the same company).
Iām a fan of wool, mostly because my last mattress had it (so I was told, never verified), and it fared well and was nice. Everything Iāve read says it packs about 30% assuming a high quality. Plus, several of the premium mattresses use it in their comfort layers, often along with latex, for that feel of plushness.
Iāll do a review of the Sleeptek Classic 2000 when I get it.
We also did the Green Sleep mattress cover - remarkably expensive, but itās super luxurious. About $500 for the king. Really thick organic stretch knit fabric. Itās the vasilo. The other popular one is the St. Dormeir. If you get a chance, check them both out - Iād not have been able to imagine either of them without touching/seeing them.
Basically, Iāve accepted that my fate is to try pretty much every combination of latex and toppers I reasonably am interested in. I can see trying a talalay topper, different mixtures of latex, and different mixtures of latex with no topper or with a topper. Iām a bit OCD when it comes to comparing thingsā¦ and (for better or worse), Iāve got enough $ that the relative costs of each ātrialā isnāt that huge a deal (also helps that we have 2x beds, and iām trying this on a twinxl which is way less $$ than trying on a king). Weāve got a great base bed with the Green Sleep, so trying diff latex or diff toppers is pretty simple and a matter of trying to refine to perfection 
For what itās worth, we also got good beddings. Most importantly, we got some pillows that accomplishes proper alignmentā¦ your mattress can have all the PPP dealt with, but you can screw up your neck alignment with an improper pillow. So we really went in wanting a āsleep systemā, and not just a mattress system.
The sleepteks looked amazing to us alsoā¦ it was really just the initial decision of more soft or slightly more firm, similar to what you saw, that we ended up with green sleep. My brother has an obasan (for a while they had a store in calgary). He and his wife swear by it.
I looked at the LaNoodleā¦ my guess was that the noodles would move all around. Iām more interested in wool and latex thatās a bit more consistent. So far, I find wool a bit more of a āfluffyā feeling, and latex a bit more of a smooth-but-pressure relieving feeling. I read somewhere, and it stayed in my mind, that wool is fluffy and absorbs you, and latex is soft but pushes back (since itās elastic).
Good luck. Iāll let you know about the wool (arrives in about 1.5-2 weeks Iām told)
