I am sure this one has come up before, but I cannot find it specifically. Currently I am in the market for a latex bed. I want something that has a soft but supportive feel. I love the feel of Hastens, but they are too much money. I want a 6" piece as my main support, but am unsure whether to get the Dunlop or the Talalay. Two options:

1) Dunlop bottom piece with a 2 inch talalay topper
2) Talalay bottom with a 2 inch wool topper

The salesperson said not to get the topper until I am used to the latex, but the Dunlop felt VERY firm. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!!!

FYI I am 6ft 4 and about 190lb. I need a Cal King if that makes a difference.

I wish I could give you some help from personal experience, but I'm still trying to make these sorts of decisions myself.  I did see where this product is available and I think it's only a $75 charge for returns.  Be sure and check out the details though because I'm going on memory (not the foam kind, the brain kind!).  Anyway, this is the site:

It sure is difficult when you can't try everything out, isn't it?
