I'm looking for a Dunlop topper and/or a Dunlop core (4-6"). Anyone know where to get one?
I read one post that says Dunlop is no longer in business? Or was it Dunlopillo?
In any case, some of their stock must still be around in warehouses, etc...? Net shops?

I believe foamorder.com's "natural sense" latex is actually Dunlop. They sell it in different thicknesses and ILDs. They also offer a less expensive core of Natural sense cut from a block of foam to any size; I think it's untreated with fire retardant.  Check out the clearance section too.

You are right. I got the following message from foamorder:

We offer it in:

Soft- 25 ILD

XFirm- 36 ILD

If you have any additional questions, please reply to this message or call us at (415) 503-1133.

Good to hear that. Wish I had known before I received my Dunlop from Overstock. I may order soft Dunlop from them if I have to though. Let us know the prices.

Haven't checked the prices yet but I wanted to add that they included this link with my email which shows that their Dunlop latex is certified "100% natural". Not sure exactly what it means, but here it is should someone feel like reading it:

As of Monday, June 08, 2009 this is foamorder.com's prices for Dunlop latex foam:

2.8 " x 38" x 75" (TWIN) FIRM "Natural Latex" (DUNLOP) = $222.35
So I could get almost 6" of Dunlop (5.6") for $444.70.

Note that this is 31 ILD which I would call "Medium" more than "Firm"

Still seems a little high to me, and I'm going to keep looking for a cheaper source.
