And, they call it Talatech. Actually it holds up very well.

Without looking at LI's site, I'm assuming that their blended Talalay is Talatech. That's what I believe my 1" layers are. Maybe the thick natural Talalay cores my mattress guy buys from Dunlopillo mimic Dunlop. It sure felt firn and "thud-like" when I laid on it.

I noticed that this site talks about the Talalay process, though. <;---? My mattress guy uses Talatech talalay from Latex International for his layers he uses inside the custom mattresses. But, he said this other all-latex mattress came from this company, Dunlopillo. Now I'm confused. I assumed it meant that it was from the Dunlop process. I'll have to ask him next time I talk to him.

Here's another website featuring Dunlopillo: http://www.dunloplatexfoam.com/...

"Talatech" is Latex International's trademarked name for all it's talalay, whether 30/70 or 100% natural....

If you're looking for something that feels like soft PU, I would try a couple of inexpensive 1" talalay toppers. They pop up occasionally for around $50- $60 apiece online. At 2", I doubt you'll feel any difference between your several options. A local shop had high end dunlop and 100% natural Talatech 9" mattresses side by side, and I didn't feel too much difference (that was a year ago). ...

"I have done a lot of research on Latex and found that 100% latex, Dunlap or Talalay are the only product that has an almost full guarantee on body impressions and product breakdown. "

Dawn--
This sounds a bit too much like an ad. It is also totally wrong. Dunlop in general tends to break down a bit more than talalay. Further, the highest quality 100% natural talay (such as Latex International's all natural Talatech) breaks down faster than standard talalay blend (such as Latex International's standard Talatech). That's why LI's all natural has a 15 year warranty compared to 20 for the blend. Spend some time on LI's website....

Here's an earlier post of mine:

"If you are committed to making latex work (durability, comfort, anti-allergen) you may want to try the masochists route and build a zoned mattress, starting with a topper. My 3"/36ILD Talatech has arrived but still haven't unpacked it and replaced the temporary 3" PU piece run latitudinally in hip region. The PU has worked well--absolutely no lower back pain for 2 weeks with present set-up (4" roughly 20 ILD for legs/shoulders and 1" 20 ILD over 3" guesstimated 33 ILD PU for roughly 3' hip region). It's not rocket science. IMO, this is how latex mattresses should me constructed. Being able to vary the sides is nice, but offering variable support for various regions more important. In fact, I would bet that a king mattress consisting of: 10 strips of 3" x 14" x 80" and 2 strips of 3" x 10" x 80" of...

Reread my post. "Jungle latex" refers to dunlop made in Asia with very little quality control, not to dunlop in general, and especially not to that manufactured by major players. The 100% natural for the California market refers only to Latex International's Talatech. It used to be very difficult to find outside California, even after LI introduced it, since that was the intended market. It is not a better product than the blended Talatech, but many wanted a mattress which was "more natural" so LI offered it.

According to pretty much everybody else out there selling latex, 34 ILD is not extra firm, especially not in Talalay. It rates as a medium density and will not be firm enough to offer good support. Some people on this forum who have customized their own mattresses from different layers of latex have a 44 ILD layer on the bottom for a good firm base layer. The 34 ILD might feel good when you lay on it for 15 minutes at the store, but you are going to sag too much into it during the night, especially if you sleep on your side, and you will wake up in the morning with your spine feeling pretty kinked.

We have a local mattress maker too who only uses 32 ILD Talatech latex in his beds. I don't know why -- maybe he doesn't want to hassle with ordering and storing other densities....

Yes, Dunlopillo's name is rather misleading. I asked Sean at SleepEZ when I was talking to him about a latex topper and he said that the Dunlopillo latex is Talalay. Confusing, no?
