Thanks for the info on Green Sleep coils, and for the link to the Combi-Zone thing. Interesting.
For myself, I'd be worried about whether the zones would fall in the right places for my body -- but that's me.
The L&P PDF says that this zoning system provides the greatest support (I'd assume this means the lower-gauge steel) in the shoulders, hips, and thighs areas. If you're a side sleeper, I'd wonder whether more support in...

I am, however, having a hard time finding the specs on the Green Sleep Saluna bed. ... The pocket springs were pretty firm and resulted in a medium firm feel overall. Could not locate specs on the spring system either.
I couldn't find specs on the GreenSleep mattress, either -- I think you'll need to call the manufacturer to get them....

I have literally cut one of the springs out of their pockets and I swear it has more than 6 turns (granted the ones at the top and bottom of the spring are very close together), and I was told it was a 13.5 guage wire. The coil count you got sounds accurate though, somewhere between 750~800 in a queen for sure. Although spec shopping on these things is not going to really tell the whole story as the coils are also joined together by hand rather than glued together by machine like mass produced pocket springs. I would also say that because they use the coconut coir all around the spring system it is functionally a lot stronger than even the specs lead on.
Anyway, all I am really saying is that if you want...

I'd love to get some advice about what to look for in a latex mattress for my daughter. She's 2 years old, weighs maybe 25 pounds, and we're ready to transition out of the crib. We have a twin bed slatted bed frame already, so now it's just a question of what to put on top of that. I'm definitely keen on being as green as possible, but I do have a budget (who doesn't?) -- so now that I've recovered from sticker-shock (and after reading some of the more inspirational threads on here) I'm thinking that a more DIY approach is the way to go.
I’m particularly intrigued by this 3” topper on sale at the Arizona Mattress Company: http://www.mattresses.net/3-twin-natural-latex-mattress-pad.html (100% Dunlop, 25 ILD)
I just spoke with...

My memory foam over poly-foam mattress I bought at least 18 years ago from BSleep is now worn out and my wife and I began a quest to find the perfect mattress for us. We loved the Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme and the similar iComfort Revolution mattresses and even bought one. But at that point we hadn't researched memory foam enough, and ended up canceling the order the next day, before delivery. In my many hours of research, I discovered that a pure latex mattress is the way to go. Besides the potential health issues of tempur material, after years of sleeping on it (OK- a clone) we grew tired of waiting for the foam to readjust whenever we turned at night, the heat, the smell, etc. Then we found out about Pure Latex Bliss and...

I emailed Green Sleep and got the following reply
Our latex is Dunlop, ILD is 65 in Saluna... our Gauge is 0.072 and it is a 6 turns coil.
Of course, they gave me the density as opposed to the ILD. Still trying to get them to give me the ILD but from what I found this should be in the low 20's. I looked up the width they gave me for the wire and it shows 13 gauge (.072).
When I asked about coil count, they replied :
It is 768 in queen.
When I asked if they zoned, they replied :
All the coils are individually wrapped in organic cotton and are 0.072

As for Jamestown, spoke with Jim from the plant, they have a newer option for the pocket coils called the Combi-Zone from L&P. It is a 7 zone system of alternating 13.75 gauge coils and 17 gauge coils for the (shoulders, hip, and thigh areas). From what I read, it looks to be a superior system to the existing one. They are also 8 inches tall versus 6. No extra cost to me.

I am assuming a lighter gauge steel would reduce the longevity. And I wonder how many turns their coils have being only six inches high? Also, Jamestown claims 720 coils but your link shows 713.
As for GreenSleep, yes, I wish they showed more info!

As for customization, this local company Jamestown will make me a mattress w/out poly and also the top 2 layers would be latex (over the pocket coils) and it will be in a zippered case (cotton/wool) :
2" Talalay ILD 16-19
2" Dunlop ILD 24-27
Therefore, I will still be able to customize the feel of the mattress to some degree. They had a bed there called the Majestic Dream that had a really nice feel to it. It had 2" poly over 2" dunlop over pocket coils....
