| This is made by Latex International, sold at Sam's Club. I just was googling all Natural latex and found this. Anyone? Click here. |
| The cover itself would probably be responsible for almost all the price difference. Wool and Organic Cotton Cover > Polyester cover....but yeah the core itself sounds similar. |

Looks like a real bargain, especially in the larger sizes! Is it firmer than the Costco mattress? This message was modified Apr 3, 2010 by luke

The first latex link is blended I believe, and is made by "Latex International" that alone is a good thing. The second link is as Budgy said, it is organic wool, and cotton. It is natural latex, it is zoned also. Nobody here (that I know of) has bought a zoned latex bed. They both are made in USA, the Natural Latex is organic and made in USA (however it doesn't say Latex International). I sent emails with questions to the manufacturer.

| Leo, did you find out where the latex for the 100% natural is sourced? Is it Dunlop or Talalay? LI or another manufacturer? |

I would write back and ask specifically whether it is Dunlop or Talalay processed latex because in my experience it makes a HUGE difference. If my Dunlop layer from SleepEZ was labeled correctly (and I think it is), then a 32ILD Dunlop natural feels more like a 36-38ILD Talalay natural. So, I think that the ILD's they give, if it's Dunlop would be firm enough. In fact you might need to put a super soft Talalay layer on top if that is the case. However, it does look like a very good price with shipping included. Almost makes me want to try one. Do they have the same easy return and refund policy that CostCo does? If so, I would say, go for it. |

Good eye Jim! I never thought about that, sometimes they say natural and it could be Dunlop instead of Talalay. I will email them back. Thanks.
