I am just plain lazy today ;-D - I need some info from latex buyers/users
I know I could do a search. I know I've done so before. Right now I am just soooo not in the mood to go back and look for and read latex info.  I want to buy 1" or 2" of Dunlop latex (because I've slept on Talalay and never Dunlop; want to try the Dunlop). Can someone remind me who has it cheapest? I know I investigated this 4-5 months ago but I have completely forgotten. I took all memory foam out of my mattress last night and slept better than I have in weeks. Still woke up with a sore back, but much better. The only other time I tried it without the memory foam was when I used 2 x 1" of my soft latex and I think that was too much soft foam for me. Now I'm back to 1" of soft latex without the memory foam and it's better, but I do guess that my HR foam has crapped out, so time to replace it with latex. What ILD do you recommend for my bottom layer(s) over my springs? When my bed was working for me, I only had 1" of HR foam over the springs so I am guessing that should do it with the latex as well. I think the ILD I used was about 32, so with Dunlop I might want to go with 28? or would that be too soft? (as I recall, Dunlop is naturally firmer than Talalay so you use a lower ILD, no?) Also, I'm not sure - maybe I can find this in my receipt somewhere - the HR foam might have been as high as 36ILD. I had 3 ILD's one firm, one medium and one very firm, and I used the medium sometimes and the firm sometimes, but don't recall the exact ILD's. This message was modified Jan 10, 2010 by jimsocal

Thanks. I had seen that video before. I'd like to know whether or not that Dunlop piece ever bounced back fully, though. So, I'll probably be OK with 3 inch layers, then?
The Natura beds I saw today were not the full latex ones, sadly, :-( but they did have this wonderful organic wool and cotton mattress pad that was total luxury. They had one Englander bed that had a top layer of latex. I liked it well enough, though I think it could have been cushier, and probably would have if it had had a cover on it. |

| man...I really don't understand some retailers. they carry the brand...but don't carry the mattresses that most people actually want lol. |

| It's a really small store with only two locations. They probably have to be careful what they stock. The salesman told me that most people can't take the sticker shock of an all latex mattress sold retail. |

| I believe it. When I bought my latex mattress it was a HUGE sticker shock, seeing as my last mattress I bought 15 years ago was only $800 for a queen. I'm still reeling. But you can't put a price on comfort :) |
