Stearns and Foster Italian Garden Villa Latex Mattress.

Hello Pete,

I am looking to purchasing a Stearns and Foster Italian Garden Villa latex mattress.  

We have one in a queen, which will be going into the guest bedroom, and we want the same mattress, in king, for our master bedroom.

I understand it might be a discontinued model.  

I am having difficulty finding any specifications about the materials and construction of the mattress.  

I'm told that the mattress is made of Smart latex which sounds like a synthetic latex.  I don't know if the latex is Talalay or Dunlop.  

I also do not know if the mattress is made with non-latex foam.  Would you happen to have any specifications or details on this mattress?

Thank you for your time,

David

Hi David,

My wife and I slept on an older version of that mattress for several years. And even though we are large people, it held up well.

Smart latex is synthetic. It's neither Dunlop nor Talalay. The method used to make is called Sapsa, which was developed in England about 30 years ago. 

Synthetic latex is a molecular clone of natural latex. It isn't quite as durable as natural latex, but the difference in durability is small. 

That mattress is topped with polyurethane foam, which is the weak link...and the first thing to fail, usually casing body impressions.

It is a discontinued model. Their whole latex line was changed shortly after Tempurpedic purchased Sealy/Stearns and Foster in 2013.

Their latex models, made today, include memory foam...turning it from an excellent product to nothing short of worthless.

To recreate the feel, as best you can, I recommend the Pure Talalay Bliss "Nutrition" model.

The Pure Talalay Bliss mattresses are 100% latex, comprised of 30% natural and 70% synthetic Talalay Latex.

You'll be happy with the feel and the longevity.

Here is the link to that mattress.
