I am not (yet) familiar with Dunlopillo or Radium talalay, so yes, I am referring specifically to Latex International Talatech.

I expect the 2" layer I should be getting any day now from FoamByMail to be either Dunlopillo or Radium talalay. Unfortunately I won't know which.

What is often referred to as a "core" around here is actually a half core. Talalay latex cores come out of a mold that is 5.6" thick [1]. FloBeds and SleepEZ have these cores sliced into two 2.8" layers. You will see latex in 1", 1.5", 2", and 3" (2.8") layers. Rarely if ever 3.5" or 4".


[1] Latex International also has some full 6" cores.

D3FI, I found the best way to air out the latex cores was to open them up and hang them on the banister for several days until there was not much of a smell left.  I am very pleased now that I have the latex cores aired out and the smell never made me sick like the outgassign from Memory foam does or from Polyurethane. I just did not want to put the latex inside my zipped up mattress cover until it was aired out with the least amount of smell.  I had also aired out the natural latex since I felt plastic outgasses and they were in plastic bags and also even natural will have a smell that needs to be aired out just a slightly different smell....

Suz312, He bought the 44 Talatech Latex  Cores from FloBeds as part of their 90 day exchange policy. You can exchange latex cores as many times as you want up until 90 days to find the best comfort level.  I was also amazed at how firm they were and that I was not bothered by the smell after airing them out despite the blended latex but I was bothered by the smell of 100% synthetic latex that was not Talalay processed from a pillow I bought last year and had to give away.  Hence, I like the Talalay Process a lot and feel blended is good product and I do not have to go with all natural like I originally thought.  The 44 ILD does not come in Natural Latex so that is why I caved in and went with blended which I am happy with the mix I have...

D3Fi, I am so happy that you found the same effect as me when you tried the 44 ILD. It is amazingly so firm and wonderful and really gives the support I needed also. 

You discussing your configurations and your wife's configurations and knowing how firm you like a bed but are liking the topper now, has me thinking again if I should try one more configuration to have perfection despite being happier with my bed than any other bed in years since I was 22. 

I currently have a 1" topper (a little small for my bed) over a 36 ILD latex coore over a 44 ILD latex core over a 36 ILD latex core right now over a slat box with 10" legs.

I am still thinking of trying Dave's offer (it is past the 90 days but when he heard of my car accident, he told me...

My wife and I each spent 1 night on each site of the bed. Even after only 1 night we both like the 36-44-44 side better. (as opposed to the 36-36-44 side). Anyway, we're going to make both sides 36-44-44 and play with the topper a bit (no topper, convolute up, convolute down) and see where we end up....
