Hi minch,

The two versions have a very similar feel (based on choosing the same comfort layer).

There are several benefits to the Eurotop though which may be more or less important for each person.

  1. The Eurotop has an exchangeable latex comfort layer so if someone chooses a firmness level that they want to change for something else … this makes it possible. The cost for an exchange is very reasonable and the way it works is that they charge you either $200 for a King or $150 for smaller sizes and then ship you a new layer along with a prepaid shipping label for the return. When you receive it … you unzip the mattress, replace the layer and ship the old layer back. When they receive this … they refund half of the original cost you were charged.

  2. The Eurotop allows you to choose a different firmness level or latex layer for each side of the mattress (in a king size) which can be a benefit for a couple which has different needs and preferences.

  3. A slightly thicker base layer will likely be more adaptable and perform slightly better for higher weights (see post #14 here) although for most people it would feel the same.

  4. The Eurotop layer can be changed without replacing the whole mattress if it softens faster than the other layers of the mattress (the top layers of a mattress tend to soften faster than the other layers) of if someone’s needs and preferences change down the road

So overall the higher price is the tradeoff for these benefits and can reduce the risk of making a choice that is not quite right (in spite of their record of helping their customers make good choices) vs a mattress that can’t be returned or exchanged but has a lower price.

NOTE ADDED LATER: The roughly equivalent 10" Cotton Camilla mattress in the new line of mattresses on their Brooklyn Bedding site has a lower price than the Amazon Eurotop, has a more liberal return policy and a lower cost exchange option, and offers a 5% discount to MU forum members and may be better value yet although the comfort options are more limited.

Hope this helps.
