As a follow-up to my last post regarding the installation of the new firm layer I have this report.

At first this firm layer on top of two extra firm layers felt as you might expect, quite firm. But after I have lain upon it for several nights it has become more comfortable. So my configuration is now left side of bed, F/XF/XF  right-sided bid F/F/XF.

The more I sleep on natural latex the more I am convinced that one's...

As Kimberly has indicated, she and I both have latex from FloBeds who does business exclusively with Latex International.

Her bed is made out of blended latex. Mine is made out of 100% botanically grown natural latex. I recently acquired...

You know Linda, you make a very interesting point. Yes I have noticed that some of the pieces of latex have the original Latex International calculations pasted on them.

In fact the medium piece of all-natural, as rated by Latex International, was 26.2 ILD, as best I can recall. The FloBeds sticker said 28 ILD. My assumption is that for the convenience of warehousing and therefore picking layers to ship to customers FloBeds tries and standardize their ILD ratings. So in essence...

Hi Dave,

When you first get started looking at latex, things can be confusing.  This is because there are many variables to latex:

1) The manufacturing method.  The oldest method is called Dunlop and a "newer" (but still around for decades) method is called Talalay.  You can read about the difference in the manufacturing method here:

Some people prefer Dunlop latex, some people prefer Talalay latex.  Some people think that Dunlop latex, being denser than Talalay latex, is more supportive.  I have tried mattresses made from both types of latex, and I don't believe this is true - provided you get the right firmness.

2) The type of latex.  Basically there are two types of latex:
     a) 100% natural botanically grown latex
     b)  Blended latex (typically 70% synthetic and 30% natural)

Here again you will find a wide range of opinions regarging what is "best."  Some people are purists and...

Hi Elaine, I have a lot of muscle, nerve and joint pain as well as back problems, so need a very supportive mattress but with soft on top in order to relieve pressure points (side sleeper). I ended up going with Flobeds who were great to deal with. I got 100% natural talalay latex (they don't carry dunlop or I probably would have gotten that for the lower layer at least as it's denser and perhaps more supportive). If you look through my past threads as well as those of others (Eagle and Kimberly have both posted their experiences with talalay latex in terms of their back issues, and others such as Catlover have posted positive experiences with dunlop from Savvyrest). And there are of course many other informative posts. Seems like a few people, such as Jim (known for his mattress surgery...
