I own both LI blended talalay and LI 100% natural talalay.  In my opinion, they are very similar products.  I think the blended is slightly more consistent.  In the future, when I throw away my foam by mail latex, I am going to replace it with LI blended.  Actions speak louder than words.........

I tried to stay with all 100% natural Talalay Latex since I am very chemically sensitive and could not handle a manmade latex pillow and had to give it away.  But I had no choice but to exchange two of my latex layers for blended Super Firm 44 to 46 ILD in order to have the very firm type of bed that I am used to sleeping on.  I was so surprised that blended Talalay Latex did not bother my allergies at all.  I think the cleaning processing used in Talalay Latex does a great job and sensitive individuals like me have no problems.  ...

I have recommended Savvy Rest several times on these boards. I believe they are a first rate company. I checked into them as well at one time, as I thought that only Dunlop would satisfy my latex needs. I subsequently learned that Talalay could provide all the support that I needed. I have never spent the night sleeping on a Dunlop bed so I cannot speak to the issue from that standpoint. But I think you would find either with 100% natural botanically grown Talalay processed latex, or Latex Internationals blended Talalay that you could find all the support...

No, I have not experienced any shifting of the layers. I talked to them about this and Dewey explain to me that they made the cover intentionally slightly smaller than the dimensions of the cores, specifically to address this potentiality. Besides, latex rubber, blended or no, is very clingy. If you put two pieces of latex together and try to drag them you will have one heck of a time. You will find this out when you go...

Good for you delilah! I believe you will find that David and Dewey Turner are excellent people to do business with.One thing is for sure, if you don't like something you can exchange it. And worst comes to worst, you can always get your money back within the 90 day period. These are the reasons that I'm doing business with them. I know I'm paying a couple of hundred dollars more than over someone like SleepEZ. Although Sean at SleepEZ seems to be a very excellent and helpful person, you're not dealing with the owner of the company, at least as far as I know. The other factor is that they just do not have the liberal exchange and return policy that FloBeds has. This was the deciding factor for me. They do have one nice feature, if it is of interest to the individual, they sell Dunlop as well...

delilah: Good news for you! I just visited FloBeds site and they are running a discount on the blended Talalay mattresses. Go to their website and check it out.

I thought I would make a thread on this subject as it keeps coming up in so many of the posts.

I just purchased a California King, all botanically grown, Talalay processed latex mattress. I have been sleeping on it now for 10 days. The only odor that I am noticing is a very mild sweet smell. It's rather pleasant actually, and I rather enjoy it. It has been diminishing considerably over the last several days and soon it will probably be all gone. I think I'm going to miss it, just a little bit.

From everything I have been able to read on the subject, this seems to be one of the side advantages to botanically grown 100% natural Talalay, as opposed to a petrochemical-based products.

This bed was sold by FloBeds, and the latex material was manufactured by Latex International....

Wow!  You sound thoroughy confused, and I'm not surprised, with the so-called "information" you're being given.  Unfortunately, I didn't really research Dunlop latex as much as Talalay  much during my investigative phase, although I did take a look at Latex Green's website.  I don't know what you can tell from a website, but I was impressed with the Latex Green website, and I got the impression that if you're going Dunlop, you want your latex to come from Sri Lanka (Latex Green).  Here is the website:

My hunch is that you should go with SleepEZ since they at least have a return policy and you know they sell a good quality latex.  To throw another monkey wrench in the affair, I now hear that Flobeds also sells Dunlop latex mattresses in addition to 100% natural and blended Talalay.

If I had to do my project over again, I think I'd have bought...

Delilah,

This from Latex International's website:

"What is the difference between 100% natural and blended latex?

By definition, latex is a rubber particle suspended in water. There are 2 types of latex; natural rubber latex and styrene butadiene rubber or man made latex. All latex is either a blend of the two or 100% natural latex. All mattress components and pillows from Latex International are 100% latex. Latex International uses a proprietary blend of natural and man made latex to provide the optimal balance of comfort and durability.

Natural rubber latex is for durability. Natural inhibits tearing as it can be stretched like a rubber band. Man made latex helps in creating a product that is resistant to sagging or taking body impressions as it can be compressed over and over and will continue to provide the same feel experienced on the retail floor for years to come. Blended latex...
