I haven't been around here lately. I know SLAB is one place that sells the soft latex toppers but there was another one I'd never heard of listed in one of the threads which I lost track of...

 

I want to buy 2" of 19-24ILD latex. I prefer natural Talalay but may consider Talatech if it's enough cheaper. I looked at SLAB and I didn't readily see where they say the ILD's. I see "soft" , "medium" and "firm" only... I suppose somewhere there, they have a legend that says what that means in terms of ILD...

I'm looking for Twin size or King which I'll cut into 2 Twins. Does Foam Sweet Foam not sell toppers? I thought they used to but I don't see the option on their site.

Wow, I just saw that SLAB now charges a 25% restocking fee PLUS shipping on any exchanges. I doubt I'll be buying from them in that case.

Thanks in advance for any ideas on where to get the cheapest latex toppers of 19-24ILD  nowadays.

Good question.  Are you okay with "some irregularities", or do you prefer perfectly formed blocks & holes, with no minor rips/tears etc.? 

Yeah SLAB going to the 25% restocking fee is unfortunate.  They must have been getting too many sent back, & had to de-incentivise.

These do not list the ILD, but reviews are they're very soft. Definitley the cheapest you'll find.

I don't  mind some irregularities but I don't want stuff that has a lot of uneven holes, is glued together all over the place or has an inconsistent firmness throughout. I would not buy Overstock.com latex toppers because they would not tell you the ILD nor manufacturer - it was like playing "topper roulette". ;-D

Hi, thanks for this link. Unfortunately I followed the link to their ebay store for details on the latex and it has the quoted text below.

The price is good, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to buy with no return or exchange privilege, imperfections, and not knowing what ILD they are, not even a close guess. I checked and buying 2 x 1" slabs shipped to CA is $35. I guess maybe if I bought 2 and if they'd try to pick 2 with 2 different softnesses it might be worth it but it does seem a bit risky.

[emphases mine]:

 I purchase 2x1" today and will be picking them up the end of this month. If you go to web site rather then Ebay, it's cheaper.

I will post if they are soft. Customer service agent said they  were talalay latex.

Welcome back Jimsocal.  Lots of new folk here could use your vast knowledge of the mattress industry.  I bought a FoamSweetFoam topper back in 2009, but they no longer appear to sell toppers.  Too bad.  I've been very satisfied with mine.  Good luck with your search.

I ordered a 3inch latex  Natural Dunlop Topper from Sleepwarehouse.com .  I liked $250 price including shipping, however cannot comment on the quality because I hope to pick it up tomorrow.  Will give you an update.
