Hi guys I'm new here, was wondering where I can find a quality 1" latex topper from a reliable company.  Looking for something about 32 ILD, thank you!

1" is generally harder to find.  Sleeplikeabear has them as well as a 30 day return policy and free shipping.  100% natural and blended talalay from Latex International (the best for talalay).  No dunlop.

Sleepez should also have them.  I think they are lower price but they usually charge $49 for shipping.  They have dunlop as well.  Not sure if their talalay is always Latex International.  You would have to ask.   For pricing go to their home page and click "mattress components" on the upper left hand corner.

Thanks for the response.  Have you ever heard of The Foam Factory?  They seem to have them as well, anyone vouch for their product?

They are the same as foambymail, right?  They have very good prices, but the quality can vary.  Some people have been happy and some say it seems firmer than the ILD rating indicates.   They do not sell latex International. 

So, that might work but a bit more of hit or miss.  Might be worth a gamble if you are not that picky and want to save money.  There 32 though might be firmer than Latex International 32, but I have never tried it so not sure.

Good to know.  I think I'll try their 1" and if it doesn't work out I'll try the more expensive latex international stuff.  It says they will return it within 30 days so I should be OK.

It's poor quality stuff.  There are a bunch of hard areas that feel like they are glued together, and that is right in the middle of the mattress so I can feel it.  Going to get the SleepLikeaBear 1" topper.

Interesting.  I just recieved their 1" 20-ILD on Thursday and really like it.  It looks and feels as good a quality as the 3" of 32-ILD Talalay I have immediately below it (the top [and most favorite] 3" in my 9" latex base).  Too bad yours was a dud.

Sorry you had back luck with Foam by Mail.  I have ordered three pieces from them in the past 6 weeks and they were all better than the one piece I ordered from SLAB.  Ironically, the best looking piece I got was from mattresses247 on ebay, but I ordered a firm and was sent an extra firm LI 44 ILD--actually a 45 by LI labeling.

I bought my 1" soft latex topper (Queen with no seams.. was a little big so I had to trim the sides but at least was not too small) from BrylaneHomes in 2007 and love it so much!  I just checked for you and they are out of it but have a 1.5" topper that someone would have to call or email to find out the ILD of to see how soft it is.  Just letting other people know form looking it up right now I see they are having a 15% off free shipping sale making the Queen $179.99 now $152.99 in price. The smaller sizes are less money and the King is slightly more money. I wonder why they stopped selling that perfect inexpensive 1" topper that I love and I am so glad those on this website told me about it.

http://www.rockymountainmattress.com/latextopper-p-45.html  From doing a search for 1" toppers seems to have 1" very soft Talalay Latex topers at a good price and you can even buy a cover for them.  I bought mine at Brylane Homes but it seems they are no longer selling 1" latex toppers and are now only selling 1.5" latex toppers.  Has anyone brought a latex topper form Rockymountainmattress.com since their website sounds great but I never bought anything from them. Just trying to help since those on this forum in 2007 really helped me.
