Hi, trying to gather as much informaiton as possible and pick a good quality mattress, I am guided toward latex, I am attracted to the organic approach, and the lack of germs etc.the process Talay is being touted, and then there is Dunlop (which is I am told not as good)Found a Sealy Reflections Saratoga with 8 inches of Laytex they call it "Laytex pure luxury" I can't find specs on exactly what it is.......is it Talay? I am thinking if there are not specs maybe its not, went to Kingsdown, the salesperson could not give me a spec sheet.......can you help? thx
Hello Lucille. Spec sheets are not for public view. Stores that have lower prices are more inclined to share that info with you. This industry, like any other, is up on all the "buzz words", that will get a consumer to buy their product. When shopping, you have to realize that you aren't really getting information. You're being fed hype, via the buzz words. "Organic and Natural" are two of the latest. These words lead you to believe that you'd be buying a mattress that is chemical free. Of course, you never actually see the words "Chemical Free" on anything. Like the fabrics used to cover them, you may see some that say "Silk/Wool" or "Cashmere". They are and only need to be 5% of that, to be allowed to call it that. Nothing in this industry is processed without chemicals. Very little is really all that it claims to be.
Latex is an excellent product. It's the longest lasting material available. Natural, synthetic or blended, it won't make any difference to you. Everywhere you shop, the salesman wants you to buy what he carries and he'll tell you how much better his is, than theirs...by using buzz words, and fear tactics You then have to ask what's inside...demand to know. If that store won't tell you, keep shopping. There are latex hybrids that have very little latex in them. Salespeople are selling them as "latex" mattresses and not making the distinction. If you're being told that some brand you never heard of is the best, you can bet that it's best for them, not you. Off brands that are hard to shop are almost always over priced. Brands that you can easily find anywhere, will be much more competitively priced. That's what makes Sealy's latex line such a great value.
