Help - Healthopaedic Bio-Cotton Latex 3000

Hi Guys,

As confusion continues in my head...I have narrowed my search onto
Healthopaedic Bio-Cotton Latex 3000 but I need some feedback on this mattress as I have not tried it in a showroom. Reason for picking this was due to 3000 pocket spring and a deep latex foam for support. Don't want to go for some cheap pocket spring one.

Your review and other mattress recommendations would be appreciated

Regards,
Peak

    I am no expert, but that mattress screams gimmick at me. It has latex 'foam'. It doesn't tell you how much or how deep, just adds the buzz words.
    It has 'springs within springs' - again, why? Surely better to get a mattress that has 1000 normal proper pocket springs.
    It is non turnable, which I would avoid.
    As for the 'bio-cotton cover' - what does that mean? And who cares - you are going to put sheets on it anyway.

    Latex isn't foam, foam is made from oil. Latex is extracted from the rubber tree

    2000 normal springs is the most you can get in a pocket mattress on 1 layer. So to get more you either double decker them or put a spring inside a spring.

    Personally I'd avoid any Latex mattress unless it states how much latex is in it and even then you want 30mm or more to make any difference.

    I ripped open an old latex mattress a while ago and it had just 10mm of the stuff! What's that going to do apart from add to the price.
    Helping the country to sleep better....ZZZzzzzzzz
