Re: Brylane Latex Topper - Lynn2006

When I used to do Internal Auditing years ago and had to sleep in hotels, I always packed my own 100% natural latex pillow since I could not sleep on those awful pillows in the hotel room. 

So far I like the 1" Bylane Talalay Latex Topper since I have it over a 36 ILD Natural Latex Core, over a 39 ILD Natural Latex Core over a 44 ILD Blended Latex Core over the Flobed Pine Slatbox. 

I sink down and feel the firmness underneath which gives me great support while getting a little cushion. I still wish my hips had just a little more firmness but my shoulders can't handle the latex any firmer or I move around too much at night like I used to before getting a latex bed. I wish my latex core underneath me was a 36 ILD for my shoulders and head with the 1" topper...

Kim, Let us know how the new JCPenney toppers feel. They sound perfect except I would be allergic to them. If it wasn't for my allergies to polyurethane, I would try the toppers also.

I guess Natura was wrong and the range up to 32 ILD must be wrong also and the softness must be even lower than the 26 ILD since to me it feels just as soft as my very soft Overstock topper. I will try out the topper in a few days.  My bed is very firm so 1" of softness may be good.  It appears thicker than my Overstock topper and if it is too soft, I will either return it or cut it to be on my shoulders since my hips and back like the bed firmer and my shoulders like a tiny bit of cushion.

Please keep us updated....

Cloud 9, I have allergies to polyurethane so I can't have HRFoam but I envy those without allergies than can have almost any type of foam if it is comfortable for them. I also envy those not allergic to the outgassing of memory foam since it does feel comfortable but my throat tightens up and I can't breath so I can't have it on my bed.  But thank you for letting others know. We will all share and learn from one another.


I know you have allergies to PU. I can't imagine what you did before you bought your Flobed. I was actually replying to Jimsocal who was asking about HR foam as a topper material. As long as you can sleep on latex, Lynn, you already have the best bedding material available. But there is something to be said for other kinds of foam if offgassing...

I just got mine today, too. I'm almost afraid to take it out because something tells me this might be too soft. It feels very similar to my Overstock topper, only without the convoluted side. You're right that it seems like it could tear easily. I sure wish they would have listed the ILD. I'm just concerned it's going to end up causing lower back pain like the other one. If I can be assured of folding it back up easily and getting it back into the bag, I might give it a try. I like the $39.99 price of the Overstock topper better. :) We'll see! I sure couldn't see laying on two of these stacked. I would sink in way too much.

LPAD, I agree that you were greeted with less than helpful and respectful responses. But it is really hard for anyone to make a very specific recommendation. We all have our nuanced opinions that may or may not be appropriate for you. You might not be able to find what you are looking for locally. You might be forced to look into buying from the internet unless you are lucky enough to live near a retailer that sells what you are looking for based on your research. If you are looking for positive recommendations and comments about mainstream brand mattresses, you probably came to the wrong place. Most people here would not recommend those kinds of mattresses - especially the three S brands. I've never heard of Kingsdown. Most people here would not recommend any mattress from Sealy, Simmons or Serta for a lot of reasons. Check out the reviews...

Just as well. It was a rip off at $33 (that's $100 for a 1" twin; $300 for 3" twin; $600 for a 3" king.


Right. But at $33 a piece I would have just bought a couple of pieces to play with. No one else seems to have Dunlop availalbe in custom cut pieces.

So then I am stuck buying an entire Twin topper and cutting it up into 3 and in order to get 2 ILD's I have to then buy 2 different twin toppers.
And even that is hard to find. All I want are two pieces of Dunlop, 1" x 37-and-1/2" x 25" to use as zones for my twin mattress. Finding a cheap way of
getting those is the problem.

The cheapest I've found so far is the ebay sellers but their topper is 2-and-3/4" thick and I don't really want that thick of a...

Fascinating discussion.  I wish I had read more of the negative posts about latex here before getting my latex mattress. I am about at my wits end trying to get this thing to work for me.
Its either too soft so I bottom out in the thing, or its too firm where I feel beat up in the morning or it feels like I am sleeping on a rubber ball.

I think I would have been better to get a decent spring mattress (indiv coils etc) and just plopped a memory foam topper on it...

We, too, could not stand the feel of an all-latex mattress nor a latex with memory foam topper mattress.  The Talalay always felt like it was pushing up against me, instead of providing soft support - yes even with the low ILD's on top.Some people obviously just do not like the feel of Talalay...
FloBeds Natural Talalay convoluted topper - susan
Feb 22, 2008 1:52 PM
I'm thinking about ordering Flobeds 2 inch convolute latex comfort topper to soften a firm mattress. I would like something that's on the soft side. If anyone has ordered and tried this topper separately from their mattress, I'd appreciate any comments about it.
Thanks!
