If you are to buy a platform bed that has slats, they must be not too far apart from one another.  They say the latex needs to breathe but I know some people just put the latex on a platform bed with one solid bottom.  Maybe others will inform you better than me.

Since I needed a bed frame I bought the pine slat box from FloBeds with at first the 5" legs to keep it low to the ground but then switched to 7" legs. Dave sent me both since I was so unsure which size leg would be better.  Since I chose a tall Wesley Allen Headboard to attach to the back of the bed, I decided to go with the 10" legs which worked out wonderful since my bed is stil not too tall but has room underneath it to store out of season clothes.  I really like...

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. ...

Thank you Mccldwll for letting me know. I just can't understand if they are selling a Talalay blend why they do not list that information on their site since it is important to me. I do not like 100% man-made latex but a Lalalay blend does not bother my allergies at all.  I am waiting a response from the Natura Manufacturer and I will let you know for sure.  How are you so sure it is a Talalay blend? Do you have one of the toppers that says it on the side?  I ordered a pillow that was man-made and it was too hard for me and bothered my allergies so I hate returning things that I lose out on shipping to my home as well as having to pay shipping back along with my time.  But the price is good. I wish it was a softer latex....

Those holes look pretty big, so I'm thinking it's Dunlop. However, who knows if the photo reflects what you actually get??? In the description they don't mention Talalay, and they would usually highlight that if it was. The only way you could be sure is to call and ask. And yes, if it's natural latex and it's Dunlop it's "jungle" latex. But I suppose since all natural latex comes from a jungle even LI natural latex is really "jungle" latex. Although one expects high production standards from LI. With the off brands, who knows?...

" But I suppose since all natural latex comes from a jungle even LI natural latex is really "jungle" latex."

"Jungle" latex doesn't refer to the origin of the "juice", but where the mattress is manufactured. Talalay is a much more sophisticated (expensive) process which is why the manufacturers are more limited. Dunlop is an older, simpler process--more like your neighborhood meth lab--and can be manufactured near where the rubber is "harvested" (the "jungle", or elsewhere in "third world" facilities). That's what distinguishes "jungle" latex from dunlop process by the major players....

This place looks like it sells a lot of memory foam. I don't think they know much about latex either. It's like they jumped on the latex bandwagon to add on to their memory foam business but they are pretty fuzzy about the details. I like natural, "green" products as much as the next guy but they seem to be saying "People like natural latex because it's natural." They don't say why you might like it better than Talalay...

I already wrote them, and their answer was just as confusing as the web site.
The ebay seller said that the 2 and 3/4" piece I wanted to buy was "natural latex". But then they referred me to the web site which has it listed under a heading that says "Talalay". That, combined...

Isn't this Dunlop latex?
God, I hate how sites don't say exactly what their latex is!
Found this, and if I'm not mistaken the photo looks like Dunlop (right?) but all they say is "Natural latex".

And just for good measure, here's another confusing web page. Is this Dunlop or ?
Is this what they call "jungle latex" or is it Dunlop, or?
Note that the top left photo says the mattress on top is Talalay but it's clearly not Talalay....

When you say it is a firmness ranging from 26-32 ILD does that mean they don't know exactly which it is, or is it zoned?
It is not zoned, is it?
Seems weird that they can't say more or less exactly what the ILD is. I wonder why not? I thought the whole advantage of Talalay was that they could make...
