BeddyBye, please let us know if the topper is softer or about the same as your other toppers. Since I was told the topper ranges from 26 ILD to 32 ILD and since no matter how consistent Talalay Latex is, parts are firmer and softer than other parts, the topper may vary. I know my Talalay Latex Pieces have three ILD's on them with an average ILD that is give or take +/- 3 ILD. For instance one of my 36 Natural Talaly Latex cores averages out to 39 ILD, one of my 44 ILD blended Latex Cores averages out to a little more than 46 ILD, and one of my other 36 ILD latex cores averages out to about 34 ILD and I wish this latex core was firmer....

mccldw, Thanks for the information so maybe the toppers will be around 26 or 28 and not the up to 32 ILD Natura sazys they could be.
I have four 36 ILD latex cores here and one averages a little over 39 ILD, one averages 35 ILD, and the other two feel around 36 to 36 ILD since their average report is partially gone. I know one of my two 44 ILD"s averages about 46 ILD. I will have something to compare the topper's softness to when it arrives.
Maybe they average all different and some people will get the softer ones and others will get the firmer ones but they did tell me they average from 26 to 32 so we will have to wait and see.
The price was so good, with the 25% off coupon for a Talalay Tatex topper despite it being a blend that I had to take a...

I got the same 25% off coupon so I decided to use it today to buy the Talalay latex topper since maybe it averages out to 32 ILD 1" and then I can ask Dave if he can get me a 1" soft latex topper on top of this (f he can't I will just live with my Overstock Topper until it is not usable) and then I can move up my 44 ILD latex core to the middle of my three latex cores so that I have 36 ILD over 44 ILD over 39 ILD. I will let you know how I like the topper.
My toppers from Dave at FloBeds have been all 100% natural latex so I am hoping that the blended so close to the top of the mattress will be OK. I have had no problems with the blended latex 44 ILD latex cores so far while...

Well even I--the no big fan of Talalay person--had to order one of these things. The price and the thickness was just too enticing to pass up, especially with the coupon. But I still have NO IDEA what ILD it is. Brylane gives you very little information. I even called them and the operator had about as much info as I did. But I'm just wondering if it's really Natura, or if they are using the name. I was on the Natura website, and not only do they not even have a 1" topper, their products are so pricey I can't imagine them allowing Brylane to sell merchandise with their name on it for that price. Also there's been some discussion here about whether it's blended or natural... Brylane's product description says "natural." It also says "medium density" and "imported" so it will be interesting to see what it actually...

I don't understand the difference between these two XL Twin 2" natural latex (Dunlop) toppers they offer...except for the price. One is a lot less money. The one below is $116. The clearance one is $174.16 (medium). But the 3" one is the same price with different ILD options.

I bought my 4 lbs. 2" memory foam topper through SleepWarehouse. Too bad I couldn't trade it for a 2" latex topper! :) I had bought my memory foam topper through Amazon.com, but it came from SleepWarehouse. It was less expensive at Amazon. Too bad they didn't have the latex cheaper, too.

Hmmmm...I was hoping it would be about 25-28 ILD. I already have two 1" 32 ILD talalay latex layers. I wanted something a wee bit softer just to make it cushier on my hips. Well, I'll have to compare it when it arrives. Thanks for the info, Lynn.
mccldwll, I just got off the phone with Natura about 15 minutes ago. They are located in Canada. You are so right that they specially make this topper for Brylanehome.com and it is a 1" blended Talalay Latex Topper with a 60% synthetic latex blended with 40% natural latex with a firmess that is medium ranging from 26 to 32 ILD. Telephone operators should have a better description of the products they sell. Thank you again. I am just letting others know to correct my misinformed prior post.

Large package label identifies it as Natura's Naturalux--which if you dig on the website is blended talalay. NO ONE sells 100% natural talalay without identifying it as such since that's a more expensive product.
While the ILD of the original 5.6" bun may have been in the 26-32 range, once you've sliced it down to 1" thicknesses it gets a bit more iffy (with +/-3 on original at various test spots, you'll also get variance throughout thickness). Look at it this way--the higher the ILD, the better a deal it becomes.
Brylane has these on clearance. Don't know if sold originally at higher price, or if Brylane liquidating them for someone else (even Natura). May originallyhave been created as a mattress component for a big company (such as Sealy) which switched to synthetic. May just be older product. I doubt they were created for Brylane....

Lynne, I'm glad that you called Natura and found out about the firmness of the topper. Thanks for sharing that info. Brylane doesn't seem to be set up to have that much detailed information about their products. I'm thinking if it is closer to 32 ILD, I'll do the same as you and get another 1 inch softer layer for on top.
I'm kind of amazed that this is a Natura topper and that it is so cheap. We have a Natura fleece wool mattress pad that we got as part of our comfort exchange when we traded for a lesser priced innerspring mattress. They weren't about to give us any money back, so we picked out this topper worth $300.00 to make up the difference (I never would have spent that much on it otherwise).
I just got an email today from Brylane saying that they had shipped my...
