I was reading about FBM latex toppers that have irregular spaced holes.  Then when I received my latex from Overstock some of mine had irregular holes.   Then I saw a picture of foamsource (I think) and it showed some irregular spaced holes. How can that be if they use a waffle maker type machine that has the holes spaced properly?  Just curious, wondering how that happens.  I don't think it makes a difference on comfort, but wondered anyway.  Could it be Dunlop only does that because they process it differently?  I don't believe Talalay process does irregular holes form what I have seen.

All of my latex toppers from O-stock had angelhair or gauze covering.  Otherwise I don't think you could have packaged it in the plastic bag.  I believe they have to use a machine to fold and roll it and insert in the bag.  That is why I don't believe a human being repackaged and returned.  Anyway I took the gauge off I want it to stick to the mattress and not move around.

I can see the spacing of the holes being closer, but they aren't as irregular as some of mine.  Some day I will have to take pictures.  I will have to rearrange again soon.  I have it too soft now and I have it 5 1/2" thick over a spring mattress.

in this case the company that makes these cores (they do not source them from anyone else) is GreenSleep.  this is actually the worlds most expensive all latex mattress.
