Latex Mattresses - Talalay vs Dunlop, Natural vs Synthetic (What Are The Differences, What is Best?)

[@trsdarrin]

Update, I still like this guy but I love his mattresses better. I have already purchased twice from him about a year ago and another 3 years. Absolutely no issues with the mattresses they are still performing like brand new. I have one set for me and one set for my daughter and now another family member wants one, so I am about to purchase another one. I highly recommend don't waste your money on all the other garbage. I suffered from back pain and for at least 40 years because of sleeping on crappy mattresses it all went away when I finally started sleeping on these types of mattresses I am now 68 years old.

Wonderful testimonial. Thanks so much. Indeed, latex is the very best and with us, no chemicals.

You are 100% correct about Foam.You are 1000% correct about Dunlop - Ours is 20 years and counting and still feels new every night :)

I have had my Sleep Essentials mattress now for about a year. It is exactly like it came out of the box. I love it! I am never going to buy anything else, when a mattress in my house needs replacing!

I regret it’s been about four years and I have not left this great man feedback. As someone said and I will second that comment! I love my mattress today as much as I Did the day I bought it. Fast shipping and very easily assembled. I am 73 years old, have all kinds of back problems (scholiosis), which I know wii get worse….fibromyalgia…so I’m in 24/7 pain except when I’m lying on my solid latex mattress from Sleep solutions. I can tell you he knows what he is talking about because I have probably owned 10 different ones….including the high dollar ones. You will not regret purchasing a latex mattress from Sleep Solutions, Roanoke, Va. Happy Snoozing!

[@jimv1484]

Ok I read every comment and watched the entire vid. I like the idea of latex for a few reasons. Longevity without the sag, springy enough to be able to roll around on the bed, and air flow, all natural is a bonus. I have been shopping hybrids and ultimately I think I would like a zippered hybrid with latex on top. I have a bad shoulder, achy hips, and currently a tweaked back :( so I " think " i want a bed that feels soft but somehow is still supportive. I live in Northern Va near Dulles Airport and went to college very close to your store. I am just crazy enough to drive 4 hours to get the right bed....but u never really know its the right bed until u have slept on it for a while I assume. So my questions are....1. Do you sell hybrids? 2. Is there any added benefit of a full latex support system over the hybrid system? Thank you.....great vid

[@SleepEssentials]

Another reason for our three layer all latex is you can much better modify the firmness if you need to by replacing a top, bottom, or middle layer. With a spring unit, you are stuck with the firmness of that spring unit.

That’s just what happened to me! I bought a Berkeley Ergonomics bed “Redondo” from Goodnight Beds in Rancho Palos Verdes and I now have low back pain every morning upon arising. My low back pain resolves within 30 minutes when I’m up, but, now I’m dreading going to bed when I used to love going to bed on my first Talalay Interactive Coil Hybrid Berkerley Ergonomics bed from the now defunct Ergo Customized Comfort in Irvine, CA. I am a petite side sleeper and I feel I have made a huge blunder spending over $4,000 and now I have back pain for the first time in my life. I know box mattresses have a generous 100-day sleep trial and return policy but I don’t know about this man’s return policy. I chose The Berkeley Ergonomics as it was natural and while the Goodnight Beds man said the technology hasn’t changed, I know this bed is causing my stiffness and pain. I prefer a bed that is soft but supportive and comforting, like a luxe hotel bed. But, what is that? Innersprings? Hybrids? I’ve got to figure this out ASAP as I’ve had painful sleep for the past six weeks. Help! What can J do, please?

Wow! Thank you from Malaysia! Finally, managed to find important information!

[@anitaseibert3376]

We have three mattresses that are over 11 years old, Dunlop latex is in the upper comfort layer, while the base is a quality foam. They have stood up incredibly well, and the mattresses never had any odour to them from the beginning. I believe that in the past 10 years or so, foam has become very toxic. Most new mattresses smell terribly and many simply do not off gas at all! My problem however is that I require a second mattress for another home, as I can't keep taking my mattress back and forth with me, which I have done. I am very sensitive to both chemicals and natural materials; wool for example is a product I simply can't sleep on. However, I have also struggled with latex. I have a Dunlop latex topper (2" soft) that is supposed to be GOLS certified, made by Earthfoam. I have tried to sleep on this repeatedly and always end up feeling just awful after I do; tired, achey and I can't seem to get out of bed. I would desperately like to purchase another bed for my other home, and I am very interested in purchasing one of your beds, but I'm concerned that I will react the same way as I have to my topper. But since I am fine with the latex in my old mattress, I am willing to take a chance. Do you have any thoughts on why I have such an issue with my current latex topper? It looks exactly like the foam you have and it smells like rubber.

[@timhunter858]

[@ArcolaBridge]

The old titanium spring Stearns and fosters were very good. The new method is pocket coils with single or dual layer foam on top each coil, I haven't tried those yet but saatva and Stearns and Foster for example are doing that. I have to agree that latex mattresses are the best possible mattresses. I've tried hundreds of beds over the years and been to different showrooms as I just taken interest in things like that. I do work a construction job and I do have arthritis. I bought an olive latex hybrid with the Euro Top and it's definitely the best bed I've ever tried. It has a lifetime warranty and I'm told the avocado latex hybrid is produced in the same factory so they're the same with different labels.

Looking forward, or should I say hoping to wake up with no back issues or hip or neck. Let me know if anyone has found a bed that when you wake up one has no pain!

[@mrpush2532]

Hi, can you tell us you and your wife's height and weight, sleeping positions, and what type and firmness of mattress you slept on before moving to a latex mattress? Did you contact him and ask what your options were to make it better for you? What I find a lot is the subjectivity of the issue people have without any indication of the objectivity of the situation. You did not mention anything about what you used to sleep on on, or how much your weigh, etc. For example, if your old mattress was medium to very firm, and you move to a much softer mattress, well of course you are going to notice some issues. Same if you go from medium to soft and move to a firm mattress. Also, even though you are over the 60 day trial this guy offers, did you contact him and tell him of your issues? If not, why not? Maybe he is willing to try to make it right? How would you know if you did not try? Objectively, for it to take 3 months for your aches and pains to show up seems a little odd to me. I'm not denying what you are experiencing, I'm just pointing out that most people will have issues much more quickly. I sleep on a medium mattress now. If I go to my in-laws and sleep on the concrete block mattress in the guest room, well guess what? In a night or two, I'm stiff and sore and uncomfortable. The aches and pains are usually the result of the different joint and spine alignments. Ask any chiropractor. If your back or neck were used to being "bent" every night, and then you alight them properly, you may notice some aches as your body adjust to being straight. But that should go be noticed and then go away rather quickly. If you lay on this bed and immediately noticed "wow, way softer than what we are used to" well than I would say that it is going to be TOO soft for your liking. Also, if you are BACK SLEEPERS, then moving to a softer mattress almost ALWAYS result in back issues from what I have seen. Side sleeper prefer softer as your shoulder need to sink deeper as it protrudes more. I would like to know what adding another topper did if anything, what FIRMNESS the topper was, and if you have seen any improvements? And also what your came FROM and your physical attributes would be helpful to get an idea of what to look for. Thanks!

What is the difference between GOLS certified latex mattresses vs Oeko-Tex certified?

[@SleepEssentials]

Oeko-Tex is a certification of being free of VOCs and harmful substances. GOLS means more than that. That the latex is produced in a method that is certified organic. Meaning no pesticides on the trees nor chemical fertilizers used on the trees. And lastly all ingredients used in the production of the foam is also organic.

[@SleepEssentials]

We don't charge more for the different firmnesses but to explain how the latex is more or less dense, a more dense foam has less air bubbles in it whereas a softer piece of foam has more air bubbles in it. More latex dense equals firmer. Less latex dense equals softer.

I'm somewhat confused. Wool is a naturally stretchy material--more so than most other fibers natural and synthetic. It's like a natural version of spandex/lycra. Wool in knit form is super stretchy. I suppose a super tight, woven wool fabric could be somewhat less stretchy, but it will still have some stretch.

[@stephanieroberts1394]

Our covers are now Tencel, which is only about 30 percent and the rest is polyester to make it a stretch knit. BUT, nothing is treated with any fire retardant chemicals. That is where we differ from all other companies. So what if some company has GOLS latex or GOTS fabric if they still have a toxic fire barrier sock or some other barrier? And every company lies about this because they are forced to by our sick paid-for, paid-off government. Yes, our covers are zippered so you can arrange the layers but I don't advise that because putting soft under firm will cause a hammock effect which will curve your spine. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

@@SleepEssentials Well i guess you can't have it all in this world! The first thing that shows up when i Googled (Is Polyester toxic) is an article "Polyester Shouldn't Be In Your Bed: 9 reasons why" hahaha. As a potentiol customer i have questions of course. Have you ever thought of just an Organic Cotton Cover instead of the one you offer? When we look for "Organic" or natural i belive many of us or me in this case don't care too much about aesthetics as long as the product is a good one. I am very sentative to Synthetic smells etc. I am in the process of changing my mattress because i don't want to end up with permanent neurological damage lately i have been having hart palpitations when i wake up and DRs say every is fine with me like they always do when they don't have asnwers I've had work done and nothing i'm thinking it's the mattress.

[@SleepEssentials]

@@alfonsoramirez6415 We used to offer the "organic cotton" story but that was all it was, was a story. Organic is the most used word for marketing when it isn't even remotely true. Virtually no one has 100 percent organic cotton because it discolors from a person's body oils and moisture and thus looks dirty and washing it doesn't fix it. So almost all "organic cotton" is really only 20-25 percent organic, the rest is bleached cotton, thus not organic. Learning this, I switched to Tencel because it is supposed to be (notice I said is supposed to be as I have no proof) cooler to sleep on than cotton. And in saying this, my Tencel covers are only 30 percent Tencel, the rest is polyester. I have on occasion told people for illustrative purposes that if they really want and need organic, they had better grow it themselves, harvest it themselves, weave it themselves, and sew it themselves. Otherwise the likelihood of a purely organic fabric is zero. Just being honest. Is your mattress making you sick? I'd be willing to bet on it. My neighbor has been fighting throat cancer in her late 40s. Yes, she drinks diet sodas but she also sleeps in a Tempur Pedic which has been proven to have formaldehyde in them which is a carcinogen. So not only is a Tempur Pedic polyurethane foam waste dump, but it is also treated with formaldehyde. Or, I should say, used to be treated with formaldehyde. Since the class action lawsuit in Texas for the VOCs and formaldehyde in TP, they've probably switched to something else. This is not an indictment of TP, it is an indictment that the US government is a fake bought and paid for government. Let me know if you have further questions. Call me if you'd like at 540-397-2337 or if you really want to converse via messaging, send me an email to [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@wonderwomanwww]

When did they start adding chemicals to the latex mattresses?

[@stephaniecrothers8482]

The fire retardant most companies use is a chemical spray they use on the cover of the mattress so it doesn't burn fast. Natural and organic latex mattress companies use wool cover instead of chemicals because wool doesn't burn until the fire is 500 degrees.

[@worstalentscout]

will the synthetic latex still be more durable than high density PU foam or Lux foam ?

[@melaniecarter1187]

Yes, by 10 times.

[@worstalentscout]

@@melaniecarter1187 many thanks for the reply, so even synthetic latex can last 10x as long as Lux foam ?.......so natural latex would last forever then ?..........how durable is High Resilience foam then ?

[@kellyname5733]

@@worstalentscout Dunlop Latex is VERY durable and long lasting. Natural Talalay Latex will need to be replaced in about 3-4 years. Synthetic latex does fare well for longevity, but the chemicals?? Unless they are completely aired out then it is not a natural product anymore. Most Synthetic latex products are cheaper to make and the ratio is around 15-30% latex and the rest are Synthetic components.

I’m hoping you can help me, please. I bought a Berkeley Ergonomics bed “Redondo” from Goodnight Beds in Rancho Palos Verdes and I now have low back pain every morning upon arising. My low back pain resolves within 30 minutes when I’m up, but, now I’m dreading going to bed when I used to love going to bed on my first Talalay Interactive Coil Hybrid Berkerley Ergonomics bed from the now defunct Ergo Customized Comfort in Irvine, CA. I am a petite side sleeper and I feel I have made a huge blunder spending over $4,000 and now I have back pain for the first time in my life. I know box mattresses have a generous 100-day sleep trial and return policy but I don’t know about this man’s return policy. I chose The Berkeley Ergonomics as it was natural and while the Goodnight Beds man said the technology hasn’t changed, I know this bed is causing my stiffness and pain. I prefer a bed that is soft but supportive and comforting, like a luxe hotel bed. But, what is that? Innersprings? Hybrids? I’ve got to figure this out ASAP as I’ve had painful sleep for the past six weeks. Help! What can I do, please? Thank you.

@T R Good luck on your search! I ended up buying a mattress from Lee at Sleep Essentials in late December. We happened to be driving through Roanoke and my wife wouldn't buy a mattress without trying it. Lee was very helpful with no pressure. We bought the AR-2 and he shipped it out immediately per our need. We like the feel of latex and it does not sleep warm in our experience of far. My wife is very picky and she loves it!

I went to your site, 500$ for a latex topper is insane , I know latex it high , but 500 for just a topper is ripping people off, I've done all kinds of research on latex I've never seen latex 500$ for a queen size topper, that's crazy!! I paid 380 off a actual shop , all natural topper , talalay topper 3in thick, it's 1500 for 3 of yours and it doesn't say how thick your topper is,

[@melaniecarter1187]

I'm not familiar with each and every model by TP. If the law label says 100 percent polyurethane foam, it is plastic. It will soften with use if it is plastic foam. But the most important thing to concern yourself with is the fire retardant chemicals. I've had a TP mattress tested for antimony and it was positive. There is a class action lawsuit in Texas against TP for the VOCs in the mattresses. Learn more here: www.allenstewart.com/practice-areas/tempur-pedic-product-warning/

[@cmp1068]

We had an all latex mattress and it was a HUGE mistake! It is extreeeeemely heavy and veeeery difficult to move from room to room and house to house! If there were some way to enclose it in a frame with handles, then we might consider getting one in the future.

[@SleepEssentials]

Indeed, any latex mattress of any significant thickness is really heavy and because they are foam, hard to handle because they are not rigid in any way but flop around like, well, rubber. This is another reason why our mattresses are better. They are made of three layers and a zip on cover. You can remove the cover and roll up each layer for easy moving.

[@stephenkenney729]

I've had a latex mattress for the last 16 years and I love it. I ended on this page because I'm researching to replacing it with another latex. My only beef was the price and the weight. If you sleep on your side or have pain in the hips and shoulders latex mattress might suit you best. If you move a lot, pay someone to move it for you or get help.

Very nice. Although, I have a latex mattress from a manufacturer in the midwest who has been in biz for 30+ years and does direct to consumer. He also has separate layers and will allow customization of each side if there are partners. This is something you aren't able to do because, I suspect, you aren't manufacturing but having someone manufacture to your specifications. Anyway, great video.

They say wool is good to protect the latex by extending it's life but you say wool is not good because the latex needs to breath 🤔 so which one is the truth? Your bamboo cover is for 9" and my question is will 12" latex fit inside your 9" bamboo cover?

[@SleepEssentials]

I didn't say latex needs to breath thus wool is bad. Not sure how you may have misunderstood what I said. Anyhow, we make a 12" cover for four layers for kings and queens.

identical. Both are very breathable.

Both are breathable, however Talalay might be slightly more breathable since it is less dense throughout.
