Tried searching, but I guess they have too generic name and couldn't find any related results. I am wondering if anyone ordered from them and how is the quality in comparison to foambymail.com and others, also maybe you could answer these questions:
 
IDL rating for their very soft, soft and soft medium. 
 
Are they using blended or fully synthetic latex? 
 
Who is manufacturer?

Which foam are you considering?  I ordered some HR foam from them for sofa cushions, and I think the quality was pretty good.  In my opinion, it was better then the highest quality foam I bought from foambymail.  Seemed denser and more supportive.  More expensive as well.  Both are working okay for me.

I ordered a few small pieces of latex from them, and the quallity seems worse than Latex International (that's who they told me made their latex).  If you scroll down on this link to reply number 9, you can see a photo comparison.  In the photo, it is next to 100% natural talalay.  The Talatech does look a bit different, but still not like the foamonline latex.  Some of the holes don't go all the way through, and my perception is that the density is lower.   It is working okay though in my very limited application.

Oh yes, I was referring to their latex. I am just not sure if it's worth paying premium for SLAB 1" topper

Based on what I received, I think I would stick with Latex International from SLAB.  I am not even sure it was not 100% synthetic.  What are the prices for 1" topper (what size)?   

I would ask them who makes it, but even if they tell you LI, I would not be totally sure unless you can compare it to another LI piece.

Maybe Latex International could tell you if they supply them.
