Reflex foam is a medium-firm high density polyurethane foam, so the answer to your question is yes. Sounds to me like 7" of the mattress is polyurethane foam and 3" are latex. Not exactly what I would consider a "latex mattress".

All the foams are going to be a petroleum based product. If you are looking for a strictly latex mattress, you'll probably have to try Habitat Furnishings.

This is a classic-style foam. It is my understanding that T&N has a special manufacturing process for this kind of foam. It's not like what I have tried on cheaper foam mattresses, as it's quite supportive.

Received this info from the vendor.The 5.5" of HR foam is a very firm, very dense foam. It has an ILD rating of 32.The 3" of latex is can be any ILD from 19-44 depending on the comfort level. All of our latex comes from Latex International.The soft reflex foam I am not sure of the density, but we purchase that from Carpenter Foams.

I think it refers to the density of the foam, but I'm not sure. We bought ours to go over the cheap mattress that came with our travel trailer. The mattress was ridiculously uncomfortable, the mattress topper made a world of difference!

It was too plush for me. I traded with a friend who purchased a different brand that was too firm for her. Great question and extremely important. The sellers should provide more info...even have a firmness scale that provides this key measurement. Who cares about 13 or 15 inches if its too plush or firm?

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin.

There is NO Bamboo "inside" the pillow. The cover is made from Bamboo fibers. The pillow itself is Memory Foam.

10" thick with 2.5" memory foam comfort layer and 7.5" polyurethane foam baseThis mattress is AWESOME! I got it for my mother and I sleep on it when I visit her and it has totally ruined my bed, haha... so I have to buy one for my bed.

Hi, I have owned the bed for over a year. I am pleased with my purchase. Sleeping on a foam mattress is different than a traditional mattress. Initially it was very firm. In short time I grew accustomed to it. I would not go back to a traditional mattress. As far as where it is made I am sure they list the origin in the listing.

Here's what I said in my review, "It may be thin relative to a standard king size pillow but is not even close to being really thin. " This is as thin a foam pillow I've found but it's still too thick for me. If anyone knows of one thinner, please reply to this query and let everyone know... Thanks

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

Hi, Linda - this is a very thick - really - 3" - heavy larger than you might imagine topper. I bought a 1/2" thick organic mattress pad from Amazon. You might also get an organic mattress cover. The company recommends turning it, if I recall, once a month, and to air it in the sun. I did find, after a bit of sleeping on it, that the back problem I have did not go away. It is so unbelievably luxurious to snuggle into, one feels really spoiled. Am deciding what to do with mine. To answer your question - I would not. The wool is loose, sewn in with a few strategically placed stitches in about 9 places, I am guessing. To wash it would wreck it.

This is thicker than normal mattress pad/protectors...but not more than a quarter of an inch. It's very soft & is still my preferred protector after 3 years of use!

ello, it is not the size of the mattress but the quality in the ad image shows the hand is unde pressing the mattress and lie is not true, it's just a thick sponge, not memory foam, I am frustrated because I feel cheated, not the first mattress you buy online and the above if you buy it, well, does not matter, thanks

I believe that the 5.5 is the density..... 5.5 pounds per sq. inch, tho' I'm not sure about that. Whatever, it is a fairly firm memory foam, tho' very comfortable to sleep on. I have no problems with my back or hips hurting anymore from pressure points. My only dislike is that I bought the 4" thick topper, and I find that it shifts on the bed, even with a mattress cover to hold it in place. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's a terrific buy!
