Dunlopillo latex mattress V memory foam mattress

maypole

I am thinking of buying a dunlopillo latex foam mattress, has anyone ever had one? I know they are different to the memory foam, but are they comfortable.

Thanks

I've had a Dunlopillo mattress for years and it's very comfortable.

Thank you for you reply.

Is the mattress firm/medium etc? I don't like too soft but not too hard either.

hardpressed

I would say it medium, I don't know if they vary in firmness though.

2 years ago, its brillant and cheaper than buying a new mattress
the surface moulds to your individual shape, conforming and contouring to each part of your body for increased comfort and it does

The original Tempur products were/are Latex and very costly.
The memory foam (visco elastic) ones out today are more recent lower cost developments produced to exploit the market Tempur started. Both are designed to mould to the body so i doubt there should be significant difference between them providing the densities and thickness of the base material are similar.

As far as I know, Tempurpedic does not use latex in its mattresses, they use a patented version of memory foam (visco-elastic foam). Latex doesn't respond to temperature while the Tempur material softens in contact with your body. Latex also has some bounce while Tempur doesn't (or the wine-glass test shown in ads wouldn't be possible).

There are cheaper knockoffs out there where the density of the memory foam is lower, or it lacks the temperature-responsiveness ability or it's not as firm as Tempur. The basic cell-structure is different as well with cheaper foams, the cells are bigger and when they crumble (over time), there's fewer cells to take the toll underneath.

Here's more information on what cheaper memory foams are like http://www.myfoammattress.net/memory/cheap-tempurpedic.html

We've all got Dunlopillo beds in our house and find them very comfortable. You may find as with new items it may take a few nights to get used to it. Ours are nearly nine years old and we shall replace them in the next few months - with the same! You don't have to turn the mattress and I do regularly vacuum mine with the Dyson mattress tool. Ours are medium btw. Firm are really firm so I'd go for the middle range. HTH
