latex 70 density
|
I just saw a tag on my latex topper that says the density is 70. So what's that mean, people who know about ild or whatever? Just curious. (it's a nice comfort level for me, but it's too hot, so honestly I just might have to figure out some way to sleep w/out it..which is a shame if I end up there). |

ILD - basicly how much weight it takes to compress one qubic foot of the tested material 1 inch.
Are you sure it said 70 ILD and maybe not 20 ILD? 70 seems pretty firm for a topper!

| its definitely not an ILD rating. I know Latex Green measures their cores in density, they bring them in measurements of 70, 80 or 90 and its cast right into the rubber core itself. |

| yes, it says right on the tag: "Density 70" (the 70 was written in by hand by someone at the shop). and it is latex green iirc. |

Here's a link to the Latex Green site that should help you translate the 70 rating into ILD. It is the softest of their latex (their cores are 75 soft-medium, 85 medium firm, and 95 extra firm) http://www.latexgreen.com/cores.html Phoenix |
