Since a few of us have been frustrated at the lack of availability of latex between a "firm" ILD 32 and "soft" ILD 20, this note on the home page at SleepWarehouse may be of interest:

We have expanded our Latex Topper line to include the new Medium-Firm 26 ILD 5.2 lb toppers in all standard bed sizes.

I will also add a plug for SleepWarehouse' prices, which are very good. And for shipping me samples of various foams I was interested in. They charge for the samples, but I have absolutely no problem with that and they are very nice samples - 12"x12" by 1" for the memory foam, and 12"x12" by 2.5" for the Energia. Heck, the retail price of that much Venus foam is almost $8 bucks. They also offer a money-back guarantee on their toppers, which is a very rare thing.

LI tests their whole core which is either 6" or 5.6" thick.  Now, if you slice off just 1" from that core, it might not test out.  Maybe particles settled more in that 1", or there were more air bubbles, or whatever.

Even with that the case, I would still rather have the fabricator mark each layer sliced from the core with the core ILD on it.  That way the distributor or reseller is less likely to make a mistake.

In some ways these companies are not very smart in how they do business.
