My latex twin XL latex topper weights 10 lbs...
|
My last 2 twin XL natural latex toppers weighed 10 lbs, and the other 11 lbs, then what is the guestimate of density? Just curious. Trying to figure out if this is really dunlop or natural talalay (O-stock latex toppers). Thanks if anyone responds  |

I calculated the average of all 3. So the XF in this case would be even higher density. And the true density of the firm in this case is going to be significantly higher than the mean, the holes in this core are the diameter of pennies and there are lots of them. Its important to know the difference because the mean density does not describe how the actual rubber itself compresses. I am really only measuring these out of curiousity, not really to make any definitive statement. It might also be higher than what I measured as these pieces are wrapped in an extremely thin organic cotton mesh and I subtracted .5 pounds from the sample before doing the calculating to compensate.

| But Dunlop should weigh more, less air and more rubber. No? |

| this is exactly why I said that (in other threads) that Dunlop always being denser is a myth. In this case the firm layer on the bottom compared to the firm talalay you have the dunlop would be denser, the lower densities of the 4" medium and 2" soft pieces are lowering the average density because I averaged all 3 in my measurement. |
