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:

100% natural latex foam mattress pad 2" thick, long twin size (38x80), medium density. This is not a normal stock item for us, but it is on hand and ready to ship! This is a brand new piece. price $174.16.

We can custom cut 100% natural Dunlop latex. A piece that is 37x25x1 is $33.13.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us directly by phone at 859-971-2531 (Mon.-Fri. 9-6, Sat. 12-6 Eastern Time) or by e-mail at rodney.stewart@foamorder.com "

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?

So I finally get ready to order from foamorder.com based on the above price they had given me of $33.13 for a piece 37x25x1, and so I ask about the shipping and the ILD's and such, and then they send me a new email stating that the price is actually $64 for each piece. I wrote them back and this is what they said:
__________________________________

"Mike,

All three cushions will cost $64.64 a piece. Shipping is extra. The soft will be around a 25 ILD and the medium will be around a 30 ILD. The cushions would be non-returnable. It takes us 10-14 days to get an order ready for shipping.

The price of $33.13 only included the price of the foam itself. It did not include the price of the actually cutting of the cushions.

Rodney"

So, basically, they are charging $31 per piece to cut the foam!!??? PLUS shipping! And not returnable.

This is an outrageous charge for cutting foam. The place I get my HR foam cuts it for free. I will not be ordering from formaorder.com

Just as well. It was a rip off at $33 (that's $100 for a 1" twin; $300 for 3" twin; $600 for a 3" king.

Right. But at $33 a piece I would have just bought a couple of pieces to play with. No one else seems to have Dunlop availalbe in custom cut pieces.

So then I am stuck buying an entire Twin topper and cutting it up into 3 and in order to get 2 ILD's I have to then buy 2 different twin toppers.
And even that is hard to find. All I want are two pieces of Dunlop, 1" x 37-and-1/2" x 25" to use as zones for my twin mattress. Finding a cheap way of
getting those is the problem.

The cheapest I've found so far is the ebay sellers but their topper is 2-and-3/4" thick and I don't really want that thick of a topper, all in one ILD.

I'd get the zoned Natura(?) topper on sale at ? but they only have it in Queen size which would mean a lot of cutting and odd pieces leftover...
