Component mattress questions

Dave asked

7th February 2011

Hi Thanks for the information,I found it very valuable as to my choice of mattress, just a quick question.

Can you get a FEPS mattress without any type of primary layer and then add a memory foam topper which you can then replace once it starts to fail.

Many thanks Dave .

Hi Dave.

Good question.

I think there is a company who already does this kind of system, whereby you buy the mattress as a unit and when a particular layer wears out you just replace that particular part.

I think they are Australian but if my memory serves me right it was rather expensive.

However, I suppose if you have a FEPS unit already with a memory foam / latex layer on top, it should not be that difficult to replace the worn out layer with a substitute or replacement.

The springs should be in relatively good condition as would the foam ‘box’.

The covering in many cases would be zipped and if neccessary this can also be easily replaced.

The only problem I could foresee is removing the old memory foam layer as this will have been glued on to the FEPS unit to prevent slippage.

Very interesting comment.

Thank you.
