Are holes in Dunlop toppers supposed to go all the way through?
|
Hi everyone, I purchased a topper from mattresses.net, and I am a bit disappointed. About half of the holes do not penetrate the topper. the owner simply tells me that the holes are absolutely not essential and that I just received "the best deal on the planet". The topper was guaranteed not to be factory 2nds or irregular in any way. Why bother punching any holes if they have no purpose? Well, then he said that the holes aren't SUPPOSED to go all the way through. But like I said, about half do. Anyone have any insight? |

Those holes are not "punched". They are there from the molds the latex was poured into. The molds are usually 6 inches thick, i.e., deep, and full of metal prongs to heat the latex to cook it. Hence those holes. Sometimes, whether the holes go all the way thru and which ones do has to do with which "slice" of the 6 inch thick latex core you got. Hope this helps. I was thinking of ordering one of those toppers from mattresses.net. Does it look nice and high-quality? Is it on the firm or soft side (for a topper)? Is it really 3 inches thick? |

| The holes do not have to go all the way through. It will effect the stiffness of the foam. |
