I want to put a mattress together, and I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice. I tested a few SavvyRest natural latex mattresses, and my favorite was their medium level of firmness. I want to ultimately buy 3 3" peices of natural latex (firm, medium, and softer). However, I'm going to start with a 3" soft topper and see how I like it. My biggest priority is for the latex toppers I buy to be as "natural" as possible. My next biggest priority is price. From what I've read, I think I would like to go with Talalay, because it is cooler, sturdier, and better quality than Dunlop (correct me if I'm wrong here), but I wouldn't mind doing a Dunlop bottom layer.

1. Most of the toppers I'm seeing only come in medium-soft and medium-firm varities. I've seen a few 2" firm to "very firm" toppers, but they seem to be few and far between, and are also a bit more expensive. For those of you who have DIYed, do you find these medium-firm toppers to be firm enough for your bottom layer?

2. I'm trying to decide between the following three toppers. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback on the companies or the products.

My biggest concern is that the latex in the latex topper from mattresses.net is not completely made from natural latex. I haven't been able to find very much information about this "naturalux," by latexco, except for here and here. It certainly says that it is 100% latex in places, but not directly on the mattresses.net webpage. Otherwise, I will probably spend $100 more and go with the ACOS. Thank you in advance. There are a lot of choices in quality, seller, type of latex, thickness, firmness, etc., so any information you can provide will be great.
