after having tried 2 mattresses that were natural (in stores) they seem to have a better feel to us, than the Talalay which we did not like

There is natural Talalay and blended Talalay.  Blended has a more uniform feel and is available a bit firmer than natural Talalay.  My wife and I have blended on the bottom and 2 natural above w/ a natural topper....

I was sent two samples of latex from SavvyRest and I'm not sure if one is Dunlop and the other Talalay. I notice the larger "block" is denser and firmer with these larger holes on top. They have kind of a "dimple effect", whereas the other, smaller "block" has holes, but the top is flat...no dimpling. Reminds me more of a lower ILD talalay topper I have.

So, do you think the heavier piece IS from the Dunlop process?

It could be. Dunlop is visually apparent by its larger pinholes. The softer the latex the bigger these holes will be. With Talalay the pinholes are the same size no matter what the ILD....

I've been searching for a Dunlop topper too, and with an added requirement--blended. The few Dunlop toppers, or even full cores all seem to be natural Asian (Sri Lankan, Malaysian etc.) I'm just not convinced of the quality control of "jungle" latex. It's really a shame everyone seems to have jumped gung-ho on the Talalay wagon. Dunlop is just so much more comfortable.

Jim-- 24 ILD is pretty soft, although in Dunlop not quite as soft as Talalay. In a 1 or 2 inch size it might make a nice top layer, but it would not give you much mid-back support. You are correct in that you should be looking for something in the 30 to 36 range, but bear in mind, Dunlop has a firmer, more solid feel than a comparable Talalay ILD, so you might want to err a bit on the softer side, unless you are really looking...

Lynn, I believe it's the Talalay processing. When I went to Natura's website, their latex toppers are described as Talalay. Also, the photo of it on Brylane Home looks like Talalay. I think I'll order one. It's costly to ship, but at least only $5.75 to send back, if need be. I don't know why they can't send it as cheaply. :) Overstock manages to!

I love everything about my latex bed so far but wish I had a 1.25" soft topper. I love my 1" Overstock Topper but it is not that sturdy and is falling apart and is a little small for the bed. I have been reading about this sale only good until Monday. Those that have the Brylane 1" latex topper, do you think the ILD is softer than the Overstock or the same? What do you think the...

I wrote FoamSweetHome and this is what they told me about their Dunlop. It's definitely more than I want to pay.

We only have 3” in a Twin XL, the cost is $350.

I saw this on another site, though. Cheaper prices and I thought I heard that Natural Sense is made with the Dunlop process. Does anyone know if this is true?

Without looking at LI's site, I'm assuming that their blended Talalay is Talatech. That's what I believe my 1" layers are. Maybe the thick natural Talalay cores my mattress guy buys from Dunlopillo mimic Dunlop. It sure felt firn and "thud-like" when I laid on it.

"IIRC, SleepEZ gets their blended Talalay from LI and their natural Talalay from Dunlopillo."

IIRC, SleepEZ doesn't say anywhere on its website specifically where foam from the named suppliers is used, and does not list an email address. In other words, nowhere can you determine in writing specifically where any given piece of latex ordered will be from. ...

There is also this website, that was mentioned by mattressmom in an earlier thread:

http://organicselections.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=127_41

They carry 2 inch toppers in both soft (20-27) and medium (28-38) ILDs. I am looking at these if the Brylane Talalay topper doesn't work out. I think mattressmom ordered a piece for her daughter to sleep on from this company, so maybe she can weigh in on what the quality is like (and where it is made).

Another pretty good price on 100% natural (Dunlop) latex, is:

I e-mailed them and they said that their latex was manufactured by a company out of Malaysia... ...

I just found this one:

http://www.northernnaturals.com/latex_mattress_topper.html

It is Dunlop and they say it is ILD 24. For Dunlop, would that be enough for the lower back zone? Probably not, eh? Dang, the prices aren't bad either if you get a King and cut it in half for 2 twins... But I need the Dunlop for my midsection zone... so I am guessing I'll want something more like a 30-36 ILD, no?...

I've searched the net and this forum and have not found a clear answer to this:

Who sells Dunlop latex in 1" to 3" thicknesses? Does anyone with a return or exchange policy sell Dunlop latex?

So far about all I've found is full mattresses cores...

Just found this: Can someone look at the picture and tell me : isn't this Dunlop latex? I didn't see anywhere in the description that it says Dunlop but as I recall, it looks like Dunlop... no? but it says "natural" latex...
