Been reading quite a bit on this forum to make the best educated decision on a latex mattress core. I'm leaning towards Latex International  36 ILD Talalay core natural (or possibly blended).   I weigh 170 LB and wife is over 200.    Would be nice to find 3" pieces of 36 ILD LI for a decent price, if anyone can share.

 

Just wondering if others can chime in. What's in your layered latex mattress that works for you ?

ILD, thickness of layer, blended or natural, and weight range would be helpful information.

My LI latex is blended Talalay.

On one side of my bed I have three layers of 36 ILD.  Each layer is called 3", but it's really 2.75".

On the other side of the bed are two layers of 36 ILD and a layer of 32 ILD. 

On top of all these layers is a convoluted 2" layer of 28 ILD (with an effective ILD of around 14 I'm told).

I'm around 250lb.

This configuration works for me.  I have a really bad back, and find that some days the firmer side works better and some days the softer side.  Both sides are pretty firm though.
