Your original question was wondering about Dunlop latex which I have been researching recently to make a decision on my own latex bed purchase.  After researching till information is falling out of my head, I purchased the Flobed online this morning.  One of the reasons I chose Flobed was the great source of information and videos they had on their website.  Flobed sells both Dunlop and Talalay latex, both blended and 100% natural in both.  They recently came across some vacuum packed latex sheets (both Talalay and Dunlop)that had been sitting for 5 years in this compressed state. tucked away at the top of their storage racks.  The video shows what happens as they unroll each sheet. You can clearly see how much better the Talalay held up under compression which is what you might expect after being compressed in your bed for several years.  I have included the link below.http://www.flobeds.com/TalalayVsDunlop.htm I would encourage you to look through the Flobed website and start your education there.  They even have a good explanation of what ILD means as far as how firm or soft your latex mattress will be.  This helps when you are buying something that you don't get to try out first.  I was very skeptical as I have never purchased something of this magnitude without first seeing it but all of the raving reviews of both the bed itself and the customer service convinced me to give it a try.  I am waiting with anticipation to recieve my bed next week and will post back how it goes.  It has been very helpful for me to read other people's stories so I want to do the same for someone else.
