Dunlop latex is firmer and denser, while Talalay latex is lighter, softer, and more breathable. The former is often used in all-foam beds, especially as the support core, while the latter tends to be used as the comfort layer (top layer) in hybrids. Other differences include the Dunlop method being more energy efficient and Dunlop latex being more durable due to its dense build.
All-foam mattresses are made entirely of foam layers, offering excellent motion isolation and contouring. Hybrid mattresses combine foam with innerspring coils for added support and responsiveness, making them ideal for sleepers who prefer a bit more bounce and airflow.
Higher coil counts generally mean better support and durability. But it’s not just about quantity—it’s also the quality of the coils, like the QuadCoil® system in hybrid mattresses, which improves durability and support.
A zoned system ensures that different areas of your body get the right level of support. For example, the hip region needs firmer support than your shoulders, which can help reduce pressure points and improve spine alignment.
Yes, both our Organic Latex Mattress and DIY Hybrid Mattress can be used with an adjustable bed base.
Hybrid mattresses offer better comfort and support than traditional innerspring mattresses. They combine the benefits of memory foam or latex with pocketed coils, which provide more targeted support, better body weight distribution, and reduced motion transfer.
A mattress topper is not necessary but highly recommended because of the benefits it can provide. We recommend going with a latex mattress topper or an egg crate mattress topper. Latex mattress toppers can help make a latex mattress softer or firmer without sacrificing the responsive, supportive latex foam feel. Egg crate mattress toppers provide the unique pressure-relieving feel of egg crate foam.
Whatever mattress topper type you choose, we always recommend organic/natural latex instead of synthetic latex or memory foam mattress toppers. Memory foam toppers are made of polyurethane foam, while synthetic latex is made of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Both of these materials contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that cause chemical off-gassing. Additionally, they can retain body heat, leading to a hotter sleeping surface.
Yes, latex is a material that is naturally resistant to allergens like dust mites, mold, mildew, and pollen under the right conditions, making it a solid choice if you have allergies. Plus, organic latex (like what’s used in these mattresses) doesn’t have the harmful levels of chemicals that are found in synthetic beds - the ones that can trigger chemical sensitivities - so you’re getting cleaner, healthier sleep.
It really depends on how you sleep and what feels good to you. Side sleepers usually like softer to medium mattresses for better pressure relief, while back and stomach sleepers need something firmer for proper support. If you’re on the heavier side, a firmer mattress helps prevent sinking, while lighter sleepers tend to prefer softer options.
No, a box spring isn't recommended for our mattresses. They do best on a solid foundation, a slatted frame, or an adjustable base. A traditional box spring won’t support the mattress properly and could cause sagging over time.
