I like that the quilting isn't as tight as some mattresses.  I also like all the wool on top and the 4" latex top is removable.  It is organic.  I wondered if anyone has this mattress.

Budgy what do you think of it?  Also who manufactures the latex Budgy do you know?  Why don't they say what firmness or ILD Budgy?

The Natural Dunlop they use is all made by Latex Green in Sri Lanka, its good stuff, Eco Institut certified.  In some of their softer models like the Eco Haven they use a 2" Natural Talalay piece from Latex International.  Unfortunately I don't really have completely up to date ILD specs, the ones I have are from a while back and Natura has had to change rubber suppliers a couple of times, they used to have all of it made by DunloPillo (dunlop and talalay process). 

LatexCO makes natural dunlop yes, although I don't know if they have any real certification on this, I have noticed a lot of companies are labelling 80/20 latex as all natural which is a bit of a stretch.  Also while I don't think all blended latex is bad, there is something about blending latex and using the Dunlop method that just doesn't make any sense, I don't see how it could be all that consistent.
