Dunlopillo mattress questions

Hi Lim.

I must admit this has been an eye opener for myself and Ryan.

Prior to your question we were quite adamant that Dunlopillo only produced solid core latex mattresses – not latex on a pocket spring unit – but this particular specification uses the term ‘Clipped Pocketed Spring System’ which is a term we have not before come up against.

[Update: A manufacturer friend of mine says that this could mean the process of hog ringing (clipping) all the pocket springs together to create a firmer bed of pocket springs.] The Dunlopillo Firmrest Plush is not available in this country, and as far as I can fathom is only available in Singapore.

The image used on the [Dunlopillo Singapore] site does not seem particularly inviting and I am assuming the retail price would be significantly less than the prices we have to pay in the UK (would be so grateful if you could give us an indicator of how much a latex mattress costs in Singapore as you are a lot closer to the latex production company).

Sorry we cannot give you any more detail than this but your comment has certainly been interesting for us.

Hi again Lim.

That translates into around £800.

I must admit I am still reeling from the knowledge that Dunlopillo has used pocket springs as a means of support.

I would have been adamant that they only utilise solid core latex as a means of support.

So there you go.

We all learn something new every day, Thanks so much.

John and Ryan.
