ILD Ratings: Foam, and Latex Talalay and Dunlop FIRMNESS
|
Hi All, I have tried to piece together some of the information from other posts but thought I would start a new one that could address firmness and ILD ratings between Talalay and Dunlop. How do they work? Is smaller the number softer? I understand you can have a smaller Would you recommend a section of FIRM foam within them to provide extra support .... don't want a sore back. Any other thoughts would be most welcome. Thanks. |

| Ild ratings are for the first 25% of compression. Two different foams with the same ild, can be very different beyond that 25%. Latex with a 35 ild doesn't feel like a polyurethane foam with a 35 ild. |

Jankdc, thanks for sharing that about ILD's. I learn something new each day. I must get some sleep but had to get up to take pain medicine for mouth pain from a dental procedure so I needed to eat something and sit up 15 minutes before going back to bed so I thought I would check posts out to get me sleepy again. :) I still have to look up the cost of my FloBeds for someone on this site but it is in files stored upstairs and I have had so many dental problems this past month and so busy with work, that I forgot. Sorry. |
