Is this Dunlop latex or what is it?

Isn't this Dunlop latex? God, I hate how sites don't say exactly what their latex is! Found this, and if I'm not mistaken the photo looks like Dunlop (right?) but all they say is "Natural latex". http://www.absolutecomfortonsale.com/latexfoam.htm?PriceGrabber#prices And just for good measure, here's another confusing web page. Is this Dunlop or ? Is this what they call "jungle latex" or is it Dunlop, or? Note that the top left photo says the mattress on top is Talalay but it's clearly not Talalay. |

I would like a little help in determining how to tell the difference between Talalay and Dunlop latex. Do Talalay and Dunlop look different? Do they feel different? Are there any other characteristics that would help determine Talalay from Dunlop? Jimsocal states: Dunlop latex looks very different and can be recognized in photos if you can see the sides and top of it. I challenge you to post photos of it and I will tell you which is which. Below is a picture from the Simply Organic Sleep website (URL of http://simplyorganicsleep.com/mattresses.htm ). Without the labels I would not be able to tell which is Talalay and which is Dunlop. Any help is appreciated.  |

Any help is appreciated. As mccldwll pointed out, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference. Some types of Dunlop (that I have seen) looks completely different than Talalay. It's more of a gray color and has a different pattern of holes. However, in the picture you show above, it is clear that this type of Dunlop latex looks a lot like Talalay. So really it is hard to tell from looking at a picture unless it is the other type of Dunlop that looks much different. You can easily tell when you lay on it, though, because the Dunlop is much less springy, it does not "push back" like Talalay does. |
