From Andrew -
I’m trying to choose between the Lasaka, Monrovia, and the Prague (all in plush firm or luxury firm). I’ve tried the comps in the stores and liked them all. I understand from your site that the Lakasa is a little more firm than the Monrovia. Where does the Prague fit into the equation? And, is there any benefit to the visco (Lakasa) over the latex (Monrovia) or vice-versa?
Hi Andrew,
I want to clarify the Comfort Scale on our website – it is 1-10 and 1 is the hardest and 10 is the softest.
So in regards to your comment about the Lusaka Plush Firm (comfort scale 6) being slightly firmer than the Monrovia Plush Firm (comfort scale 5) that is incorrect. The Monrovia is slightly harder than the Lusaka.
The Prague is the only model in the “luxury Firm” comfort, which would be similar to a Plush Firm at at comfort scale of 5.
Not everyone likes Visco Memory foam, and some people are more sensitive to it than others. Visco Memory Foam is a heat activated foam that molds to your body. It is an excellent foam for pressure point relief and motion separation. For those who do not like visco, they use negative terms like; It Sleeps Hot, and the foam forms a mold that makes it hard to roll out of during the night. And then there are many who love Visco Memory Foam.
Latex is the more expensive foam of the two – and that is why the Prague is the most expensive, because it has both Latex and Visco in the padding layers of the mattress.
You should ultimately go with which ever model felt the most comfortable to you.
