Making my own Mattress with 100% All Natural Talalay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The mattress was made out of materials purchased from Arizona Premium Mattress Company. I used an 8.5 inch combi-coil individual pocket with different zones of coils, including extra smaller coils for support near edges. On top of that, I used a 3 inch all natural 100% Talalay rubber topper in medium. On top of the medium Talalay I used a soft 100% natural Talalay topper. The zipper cover is an organic bamboo and wool cover. The overall feel is that of a Luxury Firm mattress.

The mattress is five years old, and I still love it. I haven’t had to flip it yet. I’m about to order one for my son. I also really love the blended Talalay rubber pillows, they’re my favorite. I will be ordering more pillows as well. After five years the pillows did lose some of the height. But it’s still my favorite pillow to sleep with. If I sleep with any other pillow I have neck problems. Before I had this bed, I had lower back problems, and was seeing a chiropractor.
cost?
@@kdlittlehawk Around 1700.00 5 yrs ago.
They’re even lower now. I ordered the same thing last week and it was like $1400 including shipping to Ohio.
I just made my own mattress with 2 four inch memory foam mattress toppers. I have one inch of plywood instead of a box spring. I also put the memory foam toppers in a mattress encasement. Super comfortable, and cost me $250.00. Love the Diy videos.
Can you please tell me where you bought the memory foam and and mattress encasement? Thank you
That is awesome! The more I am learning about mattresses I see we don't need fancy beds priced high with God knows what's in them
We bought this same bed almost 2 years ago, except in a CA. King. Love it. The mattress cover is made of very durable material with a heavy duty zipper on it. The pocket coil springs are much better than the old mattress box springs. They are smaller in diameter flex more easily and will last a lifetime. Same with latex toppers. Natural rubber from rubber trees, not polyurethane petroleum based foam, which takes a permanent set after a few months, ( which is why people end up not happy with their mattress). Latex foam keeps it shape and bounces back. Traditional mattresses are all sewn up so if you are not happy it becomes a throw away. With this mattress if you decide for whatever reason you want to change the foam topper, you can zipper it open and replace it. AZ Premium Mattress offers mattresses that you can try and swap out toppers if you think it is too hard or soft. I am not affiliated with AZ Premium Mattress, just a happy customer.
This video showed up on my feed 4 years later and I'm so thankful and encouraged by this tutorial. Thanks so much.
Great video. Mattress.net should send u some Free pillows for Video.

How is this mattress holding out after 4 years?
@@BetterDeadThanRed99 The mattress is holding up great. I don’t see very much change since it was brand new. Still my favorite bed!
@@theartladyshome1169 Thank you for the timely reply. I'm a strict side-sleeper and I'm having problems finding a quality mattress; something that supports my lumbar but isn't so firm as to cause shoulder and neck pain. I've never tried latex before.
@@theartladyshome1169 subscribed! I'm currently making my own on their website as I'm watching your video. One question for you if you don't mind providing some insight based on your experience. Do you think being an ex college football player at 6'2 220lbs with the same pocket coil foundation as yours with 3" of "Firm" Talalay with 2" of "Medium" Talalay would be too hard? Or perfect for my size? My back and next hurt from all the years of football. I know you have a son around the same size so I'm hopeful you or he can provide me with some much needed advice! I would greatly appreciate it!! Torn between that setup or the exact same one you designed. Thanks again for the awesome video! Loved it and I look forward to hearing from you 😊
@@Nate_4545 I really like the combination that I did for my bed. I was told that firm is very very hard. So I did medium and then a soft on top. The best thing you can do is call the company and talk to someone who works there. I think I talked to the owner Ken, and he recommended my set up. My son likes the bed the way it is, and he is 6’3” and 240 now. He needed to use my bed for about a month when he dislocated his hip in a wrestling accident when he couldn’t go up stairs. It worked out really well for him, but he has no Back issues. You could do a firm in the middle and then go for a soft or med on top. One thing about this is you can always flip the layers around. If you need something firmer then do the firm and medium. If you find it too hard just order a 2 inch soft topper to add to it. I think You’re going to need the firmer core support with back issues, but again talk to the owner, he will help with your situation.
Hello...I didnt make the video but...I bought the same bed. There is nothing I would change.I wish my wife and I would of done this 40 years ago...The edge and middle give good support. The two inches of soft and the three inches of medium talalay latex are perfect! I was going to go with the six inch core but glad I went with the P&L springs...you dont feel the other person move...hope that helps
What position do you normally sleep in?
I LOVE that you did this! Store bought mattresses are just horrible for the most part for so many reasons! I am also deciding on all latex or with a spring base I didn’t know they could come rolled up like that! I’m definitely going to investigate. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for this video!
Are you still happy with your bed at this time? Any pros/cons to mention or would you have changed the configuration any differently from what you ordered?
Nicholas Seigler still love everything, my sister was visiting and slept on it one night and ordered one herself. We both love it. I will never buy anything else again. Will be buying one for my son when his mattress needs replacing.
@@theartladyshome1169 Are you mostly a side sleeper? Thanks!
Pacific Blue ,yes side and stomach.
Now that it's been 2 years since you posted this video... How is your mattress holding up? Are you still happy with it? Are you happy that you did 2 layers of latex rather than only 1? Seems like so many hybrid latex mattresses have only 3-4" of latex. I am considering going with Arizona Premium mattresses for my husband and I. Like you we like a medium-firm bed, but like a softer/plush top.
Still love it! I’m thinking about doing my couches in it now!
Hello,I am going to buy a all talalay latex mattress.I am thinking I might want one like yours.Now that you have had yours for several months,would you change anything if you could?Would you swap out the coils for a latex base core?I would much appreciate you thoughts on this.Thanks...
I still love everything about the products I ordered to create my own mattress. One of my best purchases! When I stay at luxury hotels, I can't wait to come home to my bed...so much better! The coils, I feel, make a difference. They give more bounce and "give" to the pressure points, and because they are individual, there is less movement over the entire bed when someone gets up. I will never buy any other type of mattress again. I plan to replace all of our household beds with this type of mattress. My son can't wait to get his!
The Art Lady's Home On the 3rd on Oct.I ordered the same combination mattress as yours...4 weeks later it arrivered.I had built my own wooden foundation and ordered a cover from Ken that matches the bamboo matress cover for the foundation.Everything you said about it was spot on...my wife and I love it! Thank you for your video! By the way...I had told him on phone when I ordered it about the cover being with one of your toppers...needless to say when ours arrived the coils were rolled up inside the cover.It made it alot easier to put together. Lol
Joe T. What mattress company did you buy from
Carol Canton mattresses.net. (Arizona Mattress is the Co.) Excellent product!
thank you so much for this video. I have tired all the local mattress stores in my area with zero luck finding what I need and what. I was surprised at this. Because I am 5'1 120 lbs and a side sleeper, I require a super plush soft mattress. The Mattress Store I went to only had 1 mattress that was soft ultra plush and it was for 5,600.00 I am a side sleeper and petite I need a soft plush mattress. SO HARD to find in stores. I don't think mattress stores in my area want people to know you can make your own mattress like you did. I actually had a sales person try and sell me a mattress that was firm even though he knew I needed a plush soft because he did not carry ultra plush. I ask why they don't carry more than 1 option he said that the mass people need want firm or med firm. so I am limited or they have none. I have no choice but to costume make my own. Thank you for sharing your video it helped me a lot.
I've also learned through watching tutorials on UA-cam that I do NOT have to get rid of my mattress just because it's still in good condition and works for me. When it does start to sag I can purchase replacement foam.
Hey! I am also about 120lbs and a side sleeper and ran into similar situations! I'm trying to build my own mattress now... What would you recommend in terms of the DIY configurations? Thank you so much!
Thank you for this review. I was looking for an extra firm or a firm latex mattress as I love a firm matress I have a cotton one that is fully pressed down. I got some medium firm T latex mattress for a really good price but I thought it would not be firm enough. Now thanks to your video I can see that is just perfect actually. I would just go for springs with a medium firm layer on top. I won't even need the matress topper. If I need it I would take one extra that you put on top of the mattress. Before that I would try putting two cotton quilts for softness
Was it worth it building it
Hi. On your description page: the information does not provide a list of products with links for us to duplicate your bed. It would be very helpful. Thank you
Thanks you frol Lithuania !!!!
I'm sooo glad to have found your video!! I found APMC thru online research and like what I read about them. But it's still nerve wracking to order a mattress sight unseen. The one thing I feel unsure of is the quality/sturdiness of the zipper on the case/cover. Can you comment on that?
The zipper quality is good. I don’t need to unzip once I put it together and there is no tension on the zipper.
I have this same item. Got it about a month ago. So far I love it. And I love the idea of having a mattress where I can change the configuration or replace layers as I see fit. You have complete visibility and interchangeability into the components of your mattress. Otherwise, when you buy a new mattress and if it starts dipping after a year you are basically screwed. You're out all that money for what is honestly just cheap unknown layers inside a permanently closed mattress. I will never buy another type of mattress set up again. I got a full size with the 8" Combi-Zone Pocket Coil by Leggett and Platt, the 3" All Natural Talalay Latex Mattress Topper, and the 11" Full Bamboo Wool Zippered Mattress Cover. The whole combo completes as a 12" mattress as the mattress cover has a built-in 1" wool layer. Total shipped to me in CA was just under $1K. I will be getting a queen size variant of all this in the future for another bedroom. I might go with a 3" dunlop layer instead of the Talalay. It might be a hair firmer this way. But I got the extra firm Talalay topper on the full size and it is very firm already.
Hope i ordered the good density for me...I went with medium To make more comfy à very too firm mattress
Not to split hairs,but the "organic bamboo" is Rayon made with liquified bamboo and polyester.There's nothing Organic about it.
Where did you read this?
wrong.
@@catherinevalli6830 its on their website
There’s nothing organic about any mattress due to fire retardant material the government makes companies use. (Hence the “law” tag). All the “organic” words on a mattress and it’s parts mean nothing after its border and top are covered in the chemicals that go into a can of Raid roach spray. Even talalay “natural” latex has some chemicals in it to set the latex up
Hey Art Lady, Thanks for this review and how to video - nearly the only one you can find on this mattress! There is another latex DIY company that is selling a diffrent cotton stretch cover that is supposed to conform better to your body. Do you find that the latex is able to conform to yours through the quilted cover? Also...are you still sleeping happily on your stomach with the soft top layer? Thank you!~
Yes to both questions. Love this bed! Also remember you’re putting a bottom sheet on as well, So the stretchy mattress pad wouldn’t make much of a difference. My sheets fit a bit loose. The bottom sheet that I bought is the one that’s for extra thick mattresses. I also have a Store purchased mattress cover or pad on top. I Wouldn’t just put sheets on top of the mattress, you want a mattress pad as well to protect the mattress.
Can you update us on how you feel about the bed today? Still happy? Made any changes? TY!
Every night when I first get into bed, I always just ooh and ah about how much I love my bed. I just do it naturally, because it’s just so comfortable! I was expecting by now, I’d have to flip the mattresses or change the layers, but it’s still perfect! 😍 one of the best purchases I’ve made!
Hi could you tell me did you using the 3 inch medium soft or the medium firm I having a 6 inch extra firm but felling back hurt every morning I find your video and I try to order a topper I saw you Oder 3 inch medium but not sure medium soft or medium firm
Very informative. Thank you.
we need an update.
I continually give updates just read the comments. The mattress is still amazing. I’m actually about to order something for my son. Can’t decide if I’m gonna do the toppers or the premade mattresses. Mine is still amazing, every night I jump in and think I love my bed.
Good evening Mam. I'm an South African, I kindly want to know what is the other name for Talalay Latex? I' m so pleased with your teachings( more explanatory. May God bless you Abundantly and HIS LIGHT SHINE UPON YOU TO persue your Studies further..
You may be able to find it sold as latex foam. Talalay is a type of latex foam, as is Dunlop latex foam. One can also use Polyfoam and memory foam to make mattresses.
Thank you for such an informative step by step video & stating precisely what materials you purchased. Since it has been over a year now, I was wondering if you are still as satisfied with the mattress as far as comfort & durability? I am considering purchasing the combi-coil along with a 3" medium talalay topper & their organic bamboo and wool cover...do you think just having the 3" topper alone on top of the coils will be comfortable enough & still offer support?
You could try it and see, if it needs another topper add one later. I wanted a soft feel on top of a med firm middle for side sleeping and stomach sleeping.
Did you order one Jim as you described? How do you like it so far? Thanks!!
How do I get one?
Aggggh I specified almost identically to you and mine will arrive in a few days. Only difference was I got 3” of soft and 2” of medium talalay. So excited.
Hello! I'm really intrigued! I recently purchased a new expensive traditional coil mattress that has multiple layers of latex, cotton, wool and two different kinds of foam. I first ordered their "Luxury Firm" model that felt great the first few weeks, however it broke in and started developing soft spots that started giving me lower back pain. Since then I have exchanged it for their "Extra Firm" version, however it's way too firm, to the point where my arms fall asleep and I'm tossing and turning all night long. My question is, with the set-up you guys got with the coils and two different latex layers, how is it working out for you? Is it giving you enough lumbar support?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
I have the same bed and it’s still working great for me. I just ordered one for my son and he loves his too. I will never go back to a regular mattress again. The foam that’s in the regular mattresses gives out quickly.
@@theartladyshome1169 that is great to hear! Over the past 7 years I've gone through several beds including Sleep Number, Tempur-Pedic and Beautyrest and they have failed in providing adequate lumbar support and the feeling of rolling towards the middle....it's been a nightmare! Currently I'm looking at getting a Talalay Latex topper. I did try a Dunlap Latex topper and it felt too much like plastic, it wasn't very comfortable. I've been told that Talalay has a different feel and at this point I am willing to try anything!
The "LATEX" in the store bought bed you spoke of, is most likely DUNLOP latex, not TALALAY. 2ndly, it's most likely BURIED under a few layers of POLY foam, & 3rdly, most likely a minimal amount. Most bedding stores provide a cut-away so you can see the layers, & if not, you're not getting what they "SELL" you on. Lastly, the layers often are GLUED together...not good. You can cut any existing mattress cover OFF...swap out some layers, and simply buy a ZIPPERED cover like you see here to encase a revamped mattress. MUCH cheaper to do that instead of tossing the old one out, as you don't get metal fatigue in mattresses for quite some time.
I’m curious to know why you chose the inner springs as opposed to all latex. I’m trying to decide which way I want to go. I have an inner spring mattress right now (no latex on top) and don’t know if I would like all latex
This was the recommended combination from the company, and I also tried out some expensive mattresses in the stores and this was the combination that they had.The inner springs are individually coiled and you don’t feel the movements of anyone else in the bed. I also wanted a bed that was high up and if you just use the Talalay rubber it would be a really thin mattress. The coils, I believe are also important in relieving pressure points. I think if you put the rubber on a flat board based bed, your pressure points wouldn’t be as comfortable. For example shoulders and hips. I am a side sleeper, so it would bother my hips and shoulders.
Springs make a big difference. They provide a bit more give in areas that need it and I definitely prefer that as well.
So how is the mattress hold up? Is the laytex coming apart or soft spots?
The mattress still is amazing for me. I don’t feel any soft spots and no latex is coming apart at all. We did get the pillows and they are a bit softer, but I still love them. They are my favorite pillow on my bed!
@@theartladyshome1169 I've got mine is on the way I went with the coils and 3in firm dunlop, 3in medium talalya , I just got my dunlop pillow and I like it , thanks for the reply,
@@theartladyshome1169 oh and your talalay pillows aren't all latex , they are 40% latex and 60% poly, I've been communicating with arizona mattress comp. For a few days about their false advertising , it says it's 100% latex but that isn't true at all, that's why your pillows are not going to last like they should. They claim 100% talalay but with added petroleum products know as synthetic latex, Synthetic Latex
Synthetic Latex is a synthetically produced compound that mimics the properties of natural latex. Rather than being harvested from rubber trees it is produced from petrochemicals. Several types of synthetic latex exist but SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is the most common type of synthetic latex used in the production of synthetic latex foam.
Synthetic latex foam usually has a more dull, less springy feel than natural latex foam. It is generally a bit less durable than natural latex foam and will tear easier. Synthetic latex foam also generally has a stronger and more abrasive odor than natural latex. It is uncommon to find synthetic latex foam that meets textile and furniture emissions standards such as ecoInstitut, Oeko-Tex and Greenguard.
What would you recommend for someone who is over 200 pounds for the topper? My bf is over 200 pounds.
Kimberly Theunstoppable look up “the mattress underground”. tons of great info on there.
Would love to have have this DIY bed available in New Zealand, here latex beds cost about
$3000.00 and up - what did your cost and how do we get one? - great job
Glenn van der Busse this was around 1600 including shipping from Arizona Mattress.
Hi! We are two Florida teachers, too! Love your video. Where did you buy all the components and how much did it all cost? We’re going crazy looking at all these mattress videos and I thought I could just buy the components and build it at home. Thanks.
For the king size mattress so it’s around 1700. We ordered it through Arizona mattress. arizonamattress.com/
@@theartladyshome1169 We just ordered 3 latex toppers, 1- 3” Firm, 1- 3” medium, and 1- 2” soft from a company out in Arizona that’s also a DIY mattress company. Cost? $733
Got an encasement from Amazon for $50
@@juaneato Where did you get your toppers from?
@@leandrawilliams5596 So, basically, a 12 inch mattress. Also, make sure you have a slatted bed. Latex needs to breathe! They need to be adjusted once in a while and putting on the cover is a pain but it’s SOOO worth it! Never slept better! Mattress companies are scamming us.
Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?
How much did this bed cost you to make ?
Around 1700.00 with shipping. King size. I searched all over internet. I spent months researching and going to stores, about 8 to 10 mattress stores and this was the best value, and the best quality.
This is 100% authentic. Thanks for sharing.
Did you get a chance to lay on the springs before putting it all together? Do you think the mattress has good edge support? Do you like the extra support in the middle? Thanks for making this video.
We didn’t lay on the springs as far as I can remember. As far as edge support, I can lay right up to the edge of the bed on my back and have no problems. I don’t feel like I’m going to fall off. On my side with more weight distributed to the edge I’m comfortable at 4 inches. There is very little to no sag on the edge. I feel very supported sitting upright on the edge, way feet still don’t touch the ground and I’m 5”10. The edge sinks some when sitting on the edge, but less than a regular mattress. I will never buy another store bought mattress again. So happy with this. Oh and for extra support, that’s hard to tell...it’s all pretty supportive to me. It is a bit softer at the foot of the bed.
Do you ever sit up in bed, reading etc, is the zoned sections an issue, how about side sleeping, do you think it would be ok with just a 3" soft talalay on top?
Just to confirm, you consider this build to be firm? I want to build a simple coil hybrid with latex, but a soft version. If you think yours is hard, then maybe putting 3" of soft latex on coils will end up being too firm.
Not firm, I would say medium.
More coils so you are laying on an antenna farm if the coils are metal :)

@@esb9814 It works my friend blocks millimetre waves :)
I'm trying to find "Amazon Premium Mattress Company," but I can't find it. Where did you get this mattress?
mattresses.net is their site
Amazon ? lol,, geesh they are really in EVERYONE'S first thought. Arizona Mattress.
I am looking at ordering the same mattress. How long did it take to arrive? There are reports of long waits. Also did you have to shake out the coils a lot to expand to the full size? I know they say in one of their videos they can arrive a bit smaller then expected.
Zach Rhonheimer I did not have to shake out the coils much, the came rolled in the large box. The wait time was 3.5 weeks.....well worth it! They told me the same when I ordered it. My outer bamboo and wool cover was also custom made, so that may be the reason.
Thanks for the quick reply. They told me 2 weeks but I know others said they waited even longer so just curious. I was looking to do a similar configuration as you but 2" of soft over 2" of medium instead of 3" of medium so glad to hear you are loving it!
Zach Rhonheimer If you like softer you could go with just 3" soft. I think the 3" thick topper feels better because of the thickness and density, if that makes sense. The combo I have feels like lux firm. The company can recommend the right combo for your needs,. They helped me, and were spot on.
I like a cushion firm with some plushness at top and good support underneath. I generally can sleep on anything as long as it's not too soft. This design was recommended to me by someone else as if I decide I need more firmness later I can always swap and put the 2" medium latex over the 2" soft latex to firm it up slightly.
@@theartladyshome1169 Thank you so much for making this! It's so helpful to see what you picked. I'm considering the same springs, 2 inches of dunlop and 3 inches of talalay. Ken recommended 3 inches of talalay for me - me fear is that it will be "too soft" and I do not want to sink into the bed like memory foam. What do you think of the soft firmness?
Where did you get the mattress kit from
How did you like the zoned support coils? I just got the same thing, and my back is killing me. I hope they loosen up or my back adjusts to it or something.
The zone supports are amazing. I have 5 inch’s of Talalay toppers on top of them, do you have toppers on top?
@@ArtLadyChannel Just an old 3" memory foam topper right now. I've ordered a 3" soft talalay. I'm a side sleeper.
Great video, my wife & I live in western Canada and would like to order a talalay 3 or 4" topper, what company did you use and do you know if they ship to Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you for any information you can provide 😊
If you click on the title of the video it’ll take you to all the information about the mattress and the mattress company.
@@theartladyshome1169 thank you responding, we found a great company called Fawcett mattress Co. In Victoria British Columbia Canada and they have shipped the mattress topper to us but we live in the southern interior of BC and all the highways are destroyed from the flooding we've been having so we wait patiently 😊
Hello, how did it feel to you when you put on the soft layer? Was it to soft for you? Thanks for the review!!
Pacific Blue , this is not soft like a foam topper.....very dense and comfortable to sleep on.
WHERE DID YOU BUY MATERIAL
Which exact pocket coil mattress did you use?
It’s a Comby coil spring, With a 3 inch medium Talalay rubber, and a 2 inch soft Talalay rubber on top.
What is the warranty on this mattress. Can I buy one from NJ.
T. Mowatt mattresses.net, they offer 2 month return (you pay for shipping).
Hi, Has there any shifting of the layers so does it stay put? Any indents in the topper? Why did you choose coils instead of Talalay Core (or dunlop?)
I would also like to know the same about shifting
It is going to shift. Top is not glued or hog ringed in any way. It’s not the end of the world, but if you ever end up sleeping on a slight wrinkle, you Will forever more have a crease in the material that will be beyond annoying and uncomfortable.
Watching this in 2022 as the springs in your mattresses are conductors to the electrical emfs in your home via cables in wall.
I thought this lady made it herself from yard stuff going by the title 🤣🤣 silly me 😁
Just ordered a queen hybrid 13". I wrestled with the firmness options and settled on 3" medium dunlop and 2" plush talalay but I decided to go with all natural. I hope its not too soft, I was gonna get both toppers medium but changed the 2" @ the last minute. Its reassuring seeing how much you love your mattress & I hope its holding up well for you. This is gonna be the longest 2 week wait ever.
I'd love to know what you think of your mattress! I'm thinking of going with the same springs as the video. I'm going back and fourth on the latex. Right now I'm thinking 2 inches of medium dunlop and 3 inches of soft talalay on top. Can you tell me about the soft talalay and what you think? I want something soft-ish but not "soft" I don't like the sink of memory foam but I need pressure relief as I am a side sleeper. I've laid on a Medium by Savvy rest and it honestly was a bit firm for me. Thanks for any advice!
I would like to know as well. I wanted the 3 inch dunlop and 2 inch talalay. Im a big guy at 280 and other to sleep on my side.
How do you like it Jay? Are you a side sleeper? Did you find it to soft? Thanks!
@@LisaDriscoll Did you order one? How do you like the 3" of talalay? I'm a side sleeper as well.

Why do they make mattresses with metal Springs?they just poke into you while you're trying to get some sleep
@@bethcatt7919 lol
@@bethcatt7919 Then you have a cheap mattress if you feel it.
Waterbeds and air mattress are not a good core for everyday use. If you don’t have back problems before using, you will eventually.
Foam core: retains a lot of body heat, and will eventually begin to break down. Not all foam is created equal, there’s cheap to high dollar. But even high dollar will lose its shape eventually causing sag and dip. If someone tells you differently, they are ignorant of facts or just lying.
Spring core: best option to date. Just note, springs also run from cheap to high dollar. The pocket coil (marshall) springs in this video are the best choice to date. What makes them good is that each spring is NOT connected by a helical wire like the standard type springs, which means that each spring acts more independently in your body’s weight depression. With a helical wire, there’s connection between springs so there’s a larger radius of your body’s weight going down. (Pocket coil is the commercial of a woman jumping on one side of bed, glass of wine sitting on other).
I have my reservations about this do it yourself mattress. It’s fine, but there’s no way to keep the inside parts from sliding around, or to keep the top secure. If the top slightly folds from shifting and you sleep on it, it’s ruined. You’ll forever more be sleeping on a lump. Or the latex could shift off the spring from whatever you do in bed. The zipper will not secure your mattress together.
Zoning coils are also troublesome. It’s fine, but your partner will have to sleep on this thing too. He/she may not share your sleeping habits or back issues. So some give and take from both parties will be needed if you are looking for a specific coil setup.
Can I ask why did you opt for Talalay instead of Dunlop latex? Especially for the 3" layer.
PCANGELDUST Good question.
The Talalay process produces a softer latex...compare angel food cake to pound cake...dunlap is like pound cake...The three inches is for suport...the two inches is for comfort. Less pressure points. Dunlap is good. It is just a firmmer latex and some people like that.hope that helps,JT
Dunlop,not Dunlap.
Big deal! Your so juvenile
Lol, you're not your.
Now that you've had it for nearly two years, are you still happy with it? Have you noticed any body impressions with the bamboo/wool cover? I'm redoing my bed, using materials from the same shop. Got the 3" medium Talalay, which is amazing, and just ordered the Combi-Zone coil system. I'm trying to figure out the cover options.
My wool cover is still new looking....every part of the bed is still as new as the day I put it together....still love it!
@@theartladyshome1169 , thanks for the feedback. Glad it's working out for you.
hello Art lady,,,, trying to get some answers from Ken about my DIY build, i'm using the 6" bolsa coils, King size 3" dunlop 30 ild support layer and trying to figure out the ild needed of our twin xl top comfort layers, the wife will probably need a 25 and i like a softer and probably a 20, still trying to decide if we need a 2" or 3" thick talalay comfort layer... guess my question is your quilted cover ? trying to keep as close to the latex as possible without any quilting at all, have asked ken several times if he can make a stretch knit bamboo cover without any wool quilted into it,, still hoping to hear from him with his answer,,, wondering what you think of the wool in your cover ? has it mated down at all ? do you think it changes the feel of your latex or not much at all ?? what do you think of the 2" topper ? any opinion if you would have done a 3" or is 2 totally sufficient ? 3 years later would you have done anything different ? how is it holding up ? did you add a protector ? did it or the sheets change the overall feel ? Thanks...
chris surovic The 2 inch topper is sufficient. I don’t think the stretch knit would work. The bamboo cover encases everything together, and helps prevent the layers from sliding around. My bamboo cover still looks brand new. I Purchased a separate thin mattress cover from Belks, thats what I use over the bamboo cover to protect the bamboo cover. I just use regular sheets and The sheets don’t take away from the feel of the bed.
The mattress company does sell another cover in cotton. I’m planning on ordering a mattress for my son, and I was going to try out one of their cotton covers this time. I’m still going to keep everything else the same as my bed, but since they offer this now, it’s a few dollars cheaper, and so I was going to try it out. I think the most important thing is what’s inside the cover, not the cover itself. The cotton cover does look thinner than the bamboo and wool cover. By the way, the pillows are amazing, mine still feels like new.
Thanks, spoke with Ken, doing the vegan cotton cover its not nearly as thick and has more stretch to conform to the latex. Will be bolsa 6" coils Which i hear is ~36 ild 3" 30 ild and 3" 20-24 ild. Even with my weight theres very little pressure on the coils. Even just a 3" topper was extremely supportive. Which pillows ?
We have been trying to decide which company to go with for D.I.Y. mattress and after watching your video I think we're going to go with Arizona I was able to assemble the same coil base but went with a firm bottom and a medium top layer, because we tried out beds today at box store and the firm on top was really firm and the medium is what worked for us. I'm a pretty stock guy and the wife isn't a pencil size lol.. But for the price we're hoping this will flip the bill for good support and a solid nights sleep.. Thanks for posting your video it really helps..
When you get your mattress let me know how you like it. My sister spent a week on mine when I was on vacation and when she went home she ordered one for herself!
