So my personal experience is limited. However I have never heard of anybody complaining about Dunlop hundred percent natural latex forming body impressions.
I agree that you need to consider only the first line manufacturers of latex.
The thing you need to keep in mind about Habitat, is that there bed is all of a piece. In other words you can purchase their six-inch mattress in a king-size Dunlop, and it is going to be very heavy. I can just imagine what the package must look like that they shipped to you. I think they are a fine company,...

The key things to remember are:
1) There are basically two ways that latex is MANUFACTURED.
a) The Dunlop method. This is the original method of producing latex, and is generally manufactured this way in places like Sri Lanka (sometimes called Jungle Latex), although there is at least one manufacturer in the US who produces Dunlop latex. Dunlop latex tends to be firmer and more dense than Talalay latex.
b) The Talalay method. This is a later method of manufacture. It is more expensive, to make, but produces a more consistent product. Talalay latex is less dense, and "bouncier" than Dunlop latex.
I suggest you do some google searches of "Dunlop latex" and "Talalay latex" and you will find some videos and web pages explaining (and...

You can't have anything shipped to you? If so, I would consider Flobeds, sleepez, foamsweetfoam which can be customized to your taste, exchange of layers if necessary to adjust firmness, returned if not happy. They have 100% natural latex option and possibly all organic if that is what you want....

Rockymountainmattress also has good prices on 32 and 24 ILD 100% natural talalay (free shipping but no returns). Foamsweetfoam probably has some firmer than 32, if you want a firmer 3" base level.
There is some value to buying the complete mattress from sleepez or flobeds or foamsweetfoam, so that you get a wool cover as well, along with the option to switch one or more layers. You can also have...

Rule of thumb talalay seems more resilient and springy and has more consistantly sized bubbles when you are looking at a cut surface. Dunlop will have more irregular bubbles, with more big ones and a greater variety of sizes.
Identification should only a be a problem with the bargain suppliers like Overstock and maybe all the Foambymail aliases. I haven't heard any reports of the boutique operations like flobeds or rockymountain sending the wrong stuff.
A couple of other points worth mentioning. If the listing says its from Shri Lanka, its almost certainly going...

The latex mattress (layers & cover) itself is very nice. The layers were in good condition and helpfully labeled. The firm layer was cut a bit longer than the others, but once inside the cover it doesn't seem to matter.
I did have trouble finding a configuration that worked for me, but I tossed and turned every night, waking up several times, and I woke up with a sore back every morning. Now,...

SleepEZ only sells a 3" toppers, which is too thick, IMO, for using on just half a King-sized bed.
FoambyMail has a 2" Talalay latex topper 39"x75" (20 IDL) for $110.99. 1"...

After sleeping on spring mattresses and having the padding crush down and springs soften I wanted to try another type of construction. I was very excited about the air mattresses, but after trying them I didn't find them very supportive. My experiences with memory foam pillows and toppers were that they felt great at first, but softened a great deal over time. After reading this message board I decided to give latex a try.
I read the websites and compared products from plushbeds, habitat, flobeds, and sleepez. More people seem to have had positive experiences with the last two so I focused on flobeds and sleepez....
