This is made by Latex International, sold at Sam's Club.  I just was googling all Natural latex and found this.  Anyone?  Click here.

This is the natural, click here, the posting above is apparently the blended.  What do you think?

This is a lot more expensive than the one at Costco.

The cover itself would probably be responsible for almost all the price difference.  Wool and Organic Cotton Cover > Polyester cover....but yeah the core itself sounds similar.

Looks like a real bargain, especially in the larger sizes! Is it firmer than the Costco mattress?

The first latex link is blended I believe, and is made by "Latex International" that alone is a good thing.  The second link is as Budgy said, it is organic wool, and cotton.  It is natural latex, it is zoned also.  Nobody here (that I know of) has bought a zoned latex bed.

They both are made in USA, the Natural Latex is organic and made in USA (however it doesn't say Latex International).  I sent emails with questions to the manufacturer.

Leo, did you find out where the latex for the 100% natural is sourced?  Is it Dunlop or Talalay? LI or another manufacturer?

The first link (natural latex) is Latex International (Sam's Club website states that) the second link (organic latex) is not stated, but someone here said it was Latexco (USA) Dunlop (see that link above your posting).

I haven't heard back on my emails yet.

Just thought I should post the email reply here:
 
This is for the


American Sleep Organic Mattress

 

Thank you for your inquiry,
 
Regarding your questions:
1) The layers are glued together with Saba organic glue.
2) The Latex is manufactured by Latexco
3) This mattress is not floored at any SAM'S CLUBs.
 
Please let us know if we maybe of any further assistance.
 
Thank you again,
 
I have to wonder how firm the core is since it is (see below)
 


  • 1” top layer of Body Contouring Ultra-Plush (18 ILD) 100% Natural Latex creates an incredible responsive and resilient sleep environment

  • 2” layer of Medium-Firm (24 ILD) Cushioning Layer adjusts to shape and weight of body providing Progressive Support

  • 6” Ultra-Form 5-Zone (28-32 ILD) Substrate Base Layer provides Posturized Support for Superior Spinal Alignment and heavenly feel

    		I would write back and ask specifically whether it is Dunlop or Talalay processed latex because in my experience it makes a HUGE difference.

    If my Dunlop layer from SleepEZ was labeled correctly (and I think it is), then a 32ILD Dunlop natural feels more like a 36-38ILD Talalay natural.

    So, I think that the ILD's they give, if it's Dunlop would be firm enough. In fact you might need to put a super soft Talalay layer on top if that is the case.

    However, it does look like a very good price with shipping included. Almost makes me want to try one. Do they have the same easy return and refund policy that CostCo does? If so, I would say, go for it.
