Who has the cheapest Dunlop latex in 1-2" thickness?
|
I've searched the net and this forum and have not found a clear answer to this: Who sells Dunlop latex in 1" to 3" thicknesses? Does anyone with a return or exchange policy sell Dunlop latex? So far about all I've found is full mattresses cores... Just found this: Can someone look at the picture and tell me : isn't this Dunlop latex? I didn't see anywhere in the description that it says Dunlop but as I recall, it looks like Dunlop... no? but it says "natural" latex... http://www.absolutecomfortonsale.com/latexfoam.htm#prices This message was modified Feb 3, 2008 by jimsocal

I had looked at this before and it is on my short list, but it doesn't say what the ILD's are of the topper. Have you by any chance asked? I'm going to call or write them to find out. It's a pretty good price and if the zoning is the right ILD for my back I may buy it and chop it up for my own component system zoning. That is, if the zones are all relatively firm, I could try both the firm zone and the less firm zone under my hips, or use the firm zone under my hips, and use a softer zone from something else under my shoulders. |

But, they're out of stock on the size I want (XL Twin.) In fact, they're out of other sizes, too. I called and asked when they expected to have it in again. Not sure. :( mccldwll wrote: Reminder:<BR>Foamsource (Boulder, CO) is/was closing out some 2" zoned dunlop toppers. Foamsource is a very reputable seller, and belongs on anyone's short list. |

Looks like foamorder.com has about the best deal for what I want to do... that is, order pieces for zoning. I have to call them to make SURE it's Dunlop, but if it is I think I'll order 2 pieces for zones - one medium and one firm - from them. Here's their price for custom cut latex: $66.81 for soft medium or firm - 31, 37 or 44 ILD.  RectangleModify dimensions Width: 37 in Depth: 25 in Thickness: 2 in BUT I just saw this: "The latex sold in this section (custom cut to order) is Talalay latex. While it doesn't have any fire retardants added, it is made from a blend of synthetic and natural latex. If you are interested in 100% natural latex we can quote this for you by email. 100% natural latex is all priced according to how many mattress size pieces you need and there is a minimum of one mattress." So, it sounds like they won't cut Dunlop to custom shapes and sizes. Dang. The prices above apparently are for Talalay... Though I'll call to confirm. But , the guy where I bought my custom cut HR foam today said he would call and give me a price for custom-cut Dunlop, so I'll see what he comes up with. Otherwise, at least you guys have helped me narrow down the playing field, if I do need to buy via the net... Thanks. This message was modified Feb 4, 2008 by jimsocal

So it appears they are guessing. And all they have left is the Queen size. I wanted a twin or a king (to cut in half if it was cheaper than 2 twins). Since it's zoned, the Queen would be a waste of money for me. If I cut it to twin size, the piece left over would be basically wasted. Weird, though: I looked all over the net, and found NO ONE ELSE selling this topper! This message was modified Feb 6, 2008 by jimsocal

Well, this one seems to win the prize for the cheapest Dunlop processed topper in 1-2" thickness. AND free shipping. Total price for a Twin size 2" "medium firm" 26ILD is $154.95. https://www.sleepwarehouse.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=35&strVarSel=578,584,590&strCompare= SleepWarehouse 100% Natural Latex mattress topper pads at extremely competitive pricing! Latex toppers are available in 2, 3 and 4 inch thick configurations in a Medium-Soft 16-18 ILD 4.75 lb density and our all new Medium-Firm 26 ILD 5.2 lb density toppers. All latex pads are cut to full mattress sizing. Our latex toppers are manufactured via the Dunlop process resulting in a high quality, most supportive and comfortable latex toppers available. No harmful additives, just 100% all natural latex. ****My only question now is: Is a 26ILD firm enough for the hip layer in a mattress? Even though Dunlop is "firmer" than Talalay?

I bought my 4 lbs. 2" memory foam topper through SleepWarehouse. Too bad I couldn't trade it for a 2" latex topper! :) I had bought my memory foam topper through Amazon.com, but it came from SleepWarehouse. It was less expensive at Amazon. Too bad they didn't have the latex cheaper, too. jimsocal wrote: Well, this one seems to win the prize for the cheapest Dunlop processed topper in 1-2" thickness. AND free shipping.

Just got this back from foamorder.com , F.Y.I.: "Our 100% natural latex and natural pads are Dunlop processed. Our "soft" pads have around a 25 ILD. We do have the following in Clearance: I assume this means they can cut various ILD's and thicknesses of Dunlop but I don't know that for sure yet. If they can cut various densities, this will be the best source, for me. So with Dunlop, now, should I buy 2 x 1" layers or One 2" layer? Will the 2x1" layers feel softer than the one x 2" layer? How much softer, if at all? |

I don't understand the difference between these two XL Twin 2" natural latex (Dunlop) toppers they offer...except for the price. One is a lot less money. The one below is $116. The clearance one is $174.16 (medium). But the 3" one is the same price with different ILD options. 2" Solid NaturalSense™ 100% Natural Latex Mattress Pad This is a soft mattress pad.

They happen to have some 2" medium and have listed it on the clearance page even though they are charging full price because there is no other place to list it in their regular format. They always charge more for firmer latex - and other foam. I also notice that Organic Selections has gotten rid of a lot of the latex topper choices they had just last week. They only have 6 inch cores and 2" toppers in soft. I wonder what is going on.... |
