I am offering this like-new piece of latex for sale that I got from SleepEZ:

"
1.5" Twin 100% Natural DUNLOP Latex Topper 1.5 x 38 x 74"" (this is equal to 1/2 of an Eastern or regular King sized mattress)
I have not measured the length and width but it fits my Twin mattress well, maybe just an inch or so longer than my mattress.
It is, however, 1 and 5/8" thick, not 1.5" as they say.
I was told it was made by Latex Green.

30-32 ILD so they say. As most of you may know I have said on several occasions that this FEELS more like a FIRM to me, but I'm no expert. All I can say for SURE is that it FEELS much firmer than the 30-32 ILD Talalay I bought from them on the same day.

It DOES have imperfections, this is the way it came, so if you want a "perfect" piece, this is not for you. The imperfections do not really matter in terms of sleeping on it.

I would not recommend this as a top piece, it's more of a 2nd-layer-down piece, due to its firmness.

As you can see from the photos, it is clearly marked "MEDIUM". But as I say, I consider it in the high range of Medium or low range of Firm.

SleepEZ sold it to me for $105 plus $49 shipping.
I will sell it to anyone who wants it for $70 plus actual cost of shipping within the U.S. (not Hawaii or Alaska). Actual cost of shipping via UPS or FedEx should be no more than $25. I can't weight it here but the weight on the shipping label says 25lb and that was for 2 pieces, so it must be around 15lb. (the other piece was less thick)

I have slept on it a total of about 4 nights. Too firm - or something - for me. Maybe I just don't like the "feel" of Dunlop.

If you are interested, indicate so below and then PM me and I'll tell you how to send me the money and your address.

Here's the pix I have of it. All the imperfections were there when I got it. I'm not selling it because of the imperfections, only because I don't like the feel of it on my back.

Okay, so make an offer... This would work for one side of a King Flobeds or half of any King. You could cut it into thirds for zoned layers...  If I have to keep it maybe I'll put it on the kitchen floor to make doing dishes and cooking more pleasurable! I just wanna get some $ out of it so I can buy a soft latex layer from Rockymountain or ?

You might want to try posting on craigslist as well.  It doesn't cost anything.  I have sold a few things there for roughly 50% of what I paid.   Ebay is another option of course, since it is shipable.

Use it and cut sections for that rocking chair seats and back Jim!  It might be good to sit on.

That's a good idea, Leo. I will probably do that if I can't sell it, but I'd rather sell it. I have a bunch of memory foam I can use for sitting. Not sure if it will be good for that or not but I think it will be. Can something be good for sitting if it's not good for sleeping? Hmmm. Not sure.... Never tried it... But yeah, if I don't sell it I will no doubt use it for a cushion or something.

Like someone else said, I've got foam "up the ying yang" around our apartment and the last thing I need is more of it sitting around. Plus, if I could sell it, I'd buy a piece of soft latex. Maybe I'll try EBay and Craigslist.
