After reading through this forum, I decided to go with FoamByMail with price being the determining factor. Beanies and BillBs setup also helped convince since I'm also on a budget.

SleepEz looked like the least expensive site that I found via this forum with clean/new looking cores, but it's more that twice the price of FBM. $1800 vs $800. I know that if I had found a vendor to buy Latex International latex cores, I probably would have gone down that road.

I also tried out Ikea's Erjford - too firm. It felt like dunlop and what they used wasn't a soft core. I like the Engines better. It was listed as medium but I think 5" inches or so of latex felt like too little. It was bottoming out if I sat on it and I weigh 155lb.

It looks like Talalay is the way to go. For me, I think that in order to not "feel" the slats, about 7-8" core and 2" topper would be a minimum. Unfortunately for that much latex, I couldn't find anything less than sleepez's 10000.

Where can we find 3" Talalay latex blended cores for less than what SleepEZ offers? If someone finds out, please post here. I think 3" for under $400 would be an ideal internet buyer value/price comfort level.

3 cores that are 3" and a 1" or 2" 16 ILD super soft latex topper seems like the ideal configuration. That's my 2 cents on this.
