I bought this from SleepEZ and it came this way. Yes, it has some imperfections but they do not affect the way it works or feels. I am only looking to sell or trade it because it is just too FIRM for me. It's 1 and 5/8" thick and made by Latex Green - all natural. It's marked as 32ILD but it feels like 42ILD to me and does not have the springiness that Talalay has. (I think the ILD is correct, it's just that Dunlop feels much more firm than Talalay in the same ILD.)

It sold for $105 new.

It's a TWIN size and that would fit anyone's Eastern King for one half so if you or your wife/husband wants the mattress a bit firmer on their side, this would do it.

I am willing to trade it for about any kind of Talalay, even just a 1" piece or an overstock piece with imperfections. I just want to get it out of the apartment!

Not that it matters, probably, but what I meant was: does anyone want to trade your used piece of Talalay latex that you aren't using, for a slightly used piece of Dunlop that I am not using. They way I titled it might tend to make it sound like I wanted a Dunlop layer instead of wanting to trade my Dunlop layer for a Talalay layer.

Give it to charity cool  I believe Sleepeze gives their returns to charity.

I have a featherbed that is wasting space in the closet, I don't think they would accept this for charity, so I will have to suck the air out of a bag and toss it.  What a shame.  I just got tired of fluffing the thing every day.  It was nice on my shoulders.  I need my clost space too!!!

leo  I might buy your feather bed from you - as long as it is not one that stabs you through the fabric. is there a private message system at this site we could use? let me know. Jim, I am in the market for a latex topper too, but a full size, and I agree with you that there is a ten point difference between talalay and dunlop. the soft talalay I tried out at Long's felt like memory foam, and was not firm enough for me. but with dunlop I think you want to be mid 20's, mid 30's for talalay. that seems to be the range that offers support and some comfort as well.

Just click on the person's name and you can send them a pm.

Problem is many of us don't use it much so sometimes we don't notice our PM's. ;-D But it's always worth a try.
