Hi Latexdude,
[quote]I have looked at the latex sources you mentioned as well as some others.
Regarding Arizona Premium Mattress Company, I am a bit concerned about this mention in the description of their zoned Dunlop cores: “75% SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) 25% natural rubber”, plus I would prefer a Canadian company (exchange rate, shipping, duties, etc).[/quote]
I understand your desire to stay Canadian with your purchase, and also with the 100% NR product. Nothing wrong with that.
Yes, the V-Zone is a customizable system, but I know it is in separate compartments, which you said you may have a concern about, but I don’t know if it would be an issue with their convoluted latex on top of those zones. And you can get their Talalay in the 100% natural version for Radium, which is Cradle to Cradle Gold certified. I have seen the video of which you speak and I have heard comments from sources stating that under long-term compression that Talalay may perform better than Dunlop, but your mattress wouldn’t be under such a stress, so I wouldn’t have as much of a concern about this should you decide to stick to your original plan and stay with Dunlop.
I know. It often comes down to making a pro/cons list on a legal pad for each item you’re considering and seeing how it rates with your personal value equation.
That sounds like a good plan, and then you can see if you like the feel of the Acadia 2.0 and if you notice the zones with which you said you may have a concern.
I’ll look forward to your update.
