This is a alternative mattress solution to some of the other ideas on this forum.  I found my 3 yr old Natura Crown King size on Craigs List and only paid $1250.  I know to some people this is creapy ( "do you know what people have done on that mattress"!) on the other hand people have no problem staying high end hotels and raving about the mattress.  In my case I lucked out and for some reason the the sellers had never even used the 2" topper.  It was stilled sealed in the original plastic.  So as far as I am concerned I got a new mattress for a third of the price.  I had watched Craigs List and Kijiji for about a year till I finally found the right deal.  Of course if I had the money I would have bought new from Natura, and didn't go with sleep EZ because it's not as easy living in Canada.  I originally had my eye on Natura because they use quality latex and on some of the models the wool topper has a removable cover which is dry cleanable (fresh, premier, crown and some other models).  We already had the latex pillows, we bought bamboo blend sheets and a silk duvet and we love it.  Before on our 3 yr old Beauty rest I was waking up sweaty, with a sore back and tired.  We have had our Natura for two weeks and I am waking up rested, dry and with no sore back.  I included some pictures and of course the pets love it too.

My understanding is that the Natura Ultra Green Crown mattress is a talalay blend latex which Natura World claims to be 60-72% natural. 

There is no velcro between the layers, just a fuzzy non slip material.  Thanks Budgy,  I didn't know it was Latex International foam which is good news.  

After being a victam of the "S" brand mattresses I didn't trust any mattress that is sealed up.  I would have bought from any manufacture where you can unzip the mattress and see whats inside and the fact that wool topper is dry cleanable is bonus.

Is this the tag for the topper? 2" of 32 ILD talalay lined with 18 oz. / yd² wool?

looks like just the tag for the 2" piece bonded to the 6" core.  the topper is probably similar or slightly slower ILD.
