Then, Mimic that design and save!
The Mimic Disclaimer
Do It Yourself has become a trend that has taken off within recent years . Everything from cleaners to furniture can be done right in the comfort of your home, and often costs less than their commercial counterparts. What if there was a way to craft your perfect mattress without having to spend thousands? There are so many mattress combinations available now that it can be hard to know which mattress is right for you, especially if you and your partner have different comfort levels and sleeping positions. A DIY mattress can be your ideal match. Follow our guide to build the mattress of your dreams.
Natural Latex Foam as Comfort Layer
Mimic does not mean we duplicate any particular mattress too it’s exact feel., because all brands use combinations of different density foams to achieve the particular feel for their mattress. All DIY MIMIC mattresses use only “natural latex foam as the comfort layer. Natural latex is the #1 comfort solution in the mattress industry. We do not carry polyfoams, memory foams, or gel foams. In keeping with this design you create a more natural and “healthy” mattress.
The zipper is the difference:
All DIY mattresses have the unique benefit of a zipper cover. This allows you to open the mattress, and add or rearrange the comfort layers inside. This design is far superior to the Bed in A Box mattresses that lack the benefit of “In Home” adjustability.
We have compiled alphabetical list of most popular online “Bed in a Box” models, and the basic components used to build them. You can use these models as guidelines to build your DIY mattress. Your DIY mattress will never be an exact duplicate of a mimic mattress brand, but it will be so close, we challenge you to feel the difference.

1. Talalay Latex Offers Comfort and Support
When asked about their favorite latex mattress benefits, most people put comfort and support at the top of the list. Often, a bed that’s considered comfortable is also too soft to support a good night’s sleep. A mattress that provides too much of firm support is likely to be rated too rigid by individuals who favor cushioning comfort.
The properties of a Talalay mattress give it a solid advantage over other beds. It contours to the body much better than most mattress materials, and it bounces back more quickly than traditional coils. Talalay latex is both dense and responsive, so it provides deep comfort and comfortable support.
2. Talalay Latex Mattress Breathes
You know how hard it is to rest on a mattress that retains body heat. Even if you’re not a hot sleeper by nature, you can appreciate a bedding material that breathes. Talalay latex features a natural open cell structure that quickly dissipates body heat for cool, peaceful slumber.
This unique composition addresses one of the most common latex mattress complaints. Talalay latex breathes up to seven times more efficiently than other types. You enjoy a comfortable, temperature-neutral sleeping environment, and that’s a big advantage over other mattress foams.
