I still am trying to figure out what to do!!  I have 3/4" Dunlopillo blended talalay 24ILD ish.  Under that is 1 1/2 23ILD LI blended.  Under that is O-stock 3" of unknown firm latex.  Obviously for over a year I have been in hip pain!!!  Side sleeper.

If I don't get relief soon I will be a walking zombie, oops I already am........

I want to know if natural will be better than what I have in blended. If I get the same ILD 24 or should I get 32.  I am so tired of trying things that don't work.

 

Maybe I am one of those that latex just doesn't work.  This is over a 12 year old flippable spring mattress.  This is my last try.

Savvy Rest sent  a small sample each of their Dunlop and natural Talalay, plus a swatch of their cover, wool and all. It's very, very nice. A bit outside my budget. Someone else sent other samples, also very nice, but I don't remember, offhand, who that was.

What did you think of the natural vs. blended?  I am just as confused as you are.

I'm not sure if it's fair to compare because the blended samples I got came from someplace other than the natural ones came from. The soft blended feels really, really soft (too soft) to me.

If it is all Latex International blended vs. natural then it is fair to compare.  But Savy Rest probably is not LI, so no it is not fair to compare.

Leo3, 

 

    Savvy Rest talalay is, in fact, purchased from LI.

lI really like the natural, it feels substantial. That's not to say the I found anything really at all wrong with the blended sample I have from Flobeds.
