You are right.  Good observation.  That probably makes it a bit more suitable for most people (not as soft as I though), but makes it seem even more overpriced.  Assuming that the core is dunlop (which it sounds like), that is usually less expensive than 100% natural talalay.
 

I would buy the dunlop base core and talalay topper cheaper elsewhere, if I was interested in this configuation.

The RV mattress has a foam core, so it will not last as long.    One could buy a firm PU base and talalay topper for less.

You: Are both the top layer and the core layer natual latex?
 You: What is the ILD of the top layer and bootom layer?
 Samantha: No, just the top layer in the RV collection. This makes them 30-40 lbs lighter. If you want all latex, look at our bedroom collection.
 You: Oh yes, my name is Michelle and I am looking at the 8" Latex 72x80 RV Mattress.
 Samantha: The ILD is firm; a 30 ILD.
 You: What is the bootom layer?
 Samantha: Our proprietary soy-based Plushfoam.
 You: The ILD is 30 for the top layer?
 Samantha: yes
 

We bought the Plushbeds Eco Green latex RV mattress in May. We have an Airstream and needed a customized king with rounded corners at the bottom. I considered their bedroom latex mattress, but I was told the king size 8" latex mattress (with a natural latex core) was over 130 lbs, which would have been too heavy for our RV. The Eco Green RV mattress has a Latex International 100% natural talalay latex (not blended) top layer with their soy-based, plushfoam core & is designed to be lighter (65-70 lbs) which makes a difference when you travel as much as we do.

I faxed a diagram to them with the dimensions of the custom cut corners & they made it exactly to the specifications I sent. They charge a 10% customization fee to customize an RV mattress, including rounded corners, which is cheaper than any of the other places I called, but because were AAA members, they waived the customization fee completely. They also don't charge for shipping. We received notification that it was shipped 6 days after placing the order.

When we received it, it was roll packed which helped to get it into the RV. I placed the roll on the platform, opened the bag, & it came right to it's normal shape in a few minutes. From what I read about latex off gassing, I thought I would need to air it out, however there really weren't any odors to speak of. The mattress has a very high quality apparence & the rounded corners fit my platform perfectly. From a comfort perspective, it is a bit on the firmer side, but is day and night from my old mattress. The old mattress we had seemed to sink too much & gave me back problems, but I have not had that experience on this mattress.

Overall, I would definately buy this mattress again. Hope that helps.
