electracat, sorry, I just saw your post tonight and did not know you posted a question to me.

I have a FloBed Latex Mattress with a 37 ILD Extra Firm Latex Cores over a 37 ILD Extra Firm Latex Core over a 46 ILD Super Firm Latex Core (I asked Dave to find me latex cores on the high end of each firmness level) over a Pine Slat Box with 10" high legs (so I can store things under the bed since the bed to me is best with the higher legs and I have no problems getting on and off and I am not quite 5 feet tall).

The topper is from Brylane Homes since I wanted a soft topper that was 1" thick with no seam made out of Talalay Latex. The topper gives the perfect softness for my side sleeping while letting me feel the firmness layers...

While Dunlop does provide more support at lower ILDs than Talalay due to it's greater density--more rubber, less air-- 16-18 ILD is just plain soft no matter how you look at it and it's doubtful it would provide much support at 4 inches. I agree with Jim. You'd be better off with two toppers. Start with a 2" to see how that feels to you and build up if necessary. You will probably want something more substantial for a support layer.

I never really got that food analogy. Rubber doesn't feel like cake. I would say that Dunlop is more like conventional foam in feeling without the jiggly, pushy quality Talalay has. But really, you have to experience it for yourself.

As for that "yummy" vanilla smell-- I actually found that rather nausiating-- but it seems to be an artificial fragrance some manufacturers add to the foam. It is NOT the...

Haven't checked the prices yet but I wanted to add that they included this link with my email which shows that their Dunlop latex is certified "100% natural". Not sure exactly what it means, but here it is should someone feel like reading it:

Hi everyone :-) I'm in dire need of a new mattress and, thanks to this forum, I've decided that latex is probably the best way to go. I'm planning to purchase a mattress/topper combo from foambymail.com, but I have a question regarding the ILD of the latex. I've seen it mentioned in a couple of different threads that the 6" firm mattress cut in half is equivalent to two 3" medium toppers.

No, you would get two 3" firm toppers.

So if I were to extrapolate using that information, you can essentially create a firmer sleeping surface by adding more layers of the same ILD. Does this sound correct?

Not at all.

Re: Walmart: 12" Spa Sensations Theratouch Memory Foam Mattress - Zzzzzzzspleaze
May 23, 2009 9:49 AM

Correction: It's a 90 day iron-clad money back guarantee. :-D I say go for it. I acquired my current mattress, a 10" Aerus Natural memory foam mattress, through Walmart, and am planning to return that sucker just as soon as my 9" icoil mattress comes in. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive for my mattress, as well, but, as the previous poster has stated, it's all a matter of personal preference. It's a crap shoot, but a worthwhile crap shoot so long as you have the means of returning an expanded mattress that doesn't work out for you.

Keep in mind that virtually all (if not all) of those reviews were written fairly recently after purchasing the mattress, so unknown longevity is an issue to take into consideration. I read somewhere that most memory foam loses 50% of its density and resiliency within one...

That theory of 2 mediums becoming harder... where did you get that? I am skeptical... Can anyone here confirm that? I thought it you put 2 x 3&quot; latex medium ILD's together you would get 6&quot; of medium ILD... No? It will feel firmer, maybe, yes, but it will still be medium ILD, no?

Apparently the customer service rep at foambymail.com said that they get their 3" medium density toppers by cutting the firm density mattresses in half. So I naturally assumed that throwing layers of the same ILD on top of one another would create a firmer sleeping surface...or at least I'm hoping that's the case, because I really don't want to order the firm mattress and end up with the same type of problematic mattress situation I have now (soft comfort layer over hard core). Do you have any experience layering latex toppers for...

Kluft Latex - JEdwards
May 26, 2009 8:31 AM

I am considering purchasing a Kluft Latex mattress from Bloomingdales - the Raphael model. Does anyone have any experience with the new Kluft lines?

I am torn between the Sealy Spring-free line and the Kluft Latex. Kluft also has an Aireloom latex line at Bloomies that is nice, but they have a polyfoam core and memory foam, which I am trying to avoid for durability concerns. I'm trying to avoid having major body impressions after a year or two. My current 5 year old innerspring pillowtop is nearly flatened. I'd really like to get at least 10+ years out of a new mattress.

The Kluft is very expensive, but seems to be more comfortable and better made than the others. They are all perfectly comfortable and I'm sure I'd be happy with any of them, but the Kluft...
