If you like a soft latex pillow. I like it for stomach or back sleeping. It is not good for side sleeping.

I sent the N3 piece in question to LI, as instructed. They inspected it, and said that it was fine, and that the little crumbles were left over from the cutting process. I had described it as best I could, but there wasn't really a way for them to tell for sure except by looking at the actual piece.
The replacement N3 topper came yesterday, and it was carefully packaged (not a single crumb), and it was perfect. They even sent me a seamless piece, though the seam in the first piece, while not expected, was not a problem. Pretty great customer service there.
"Sleepswithcats" asked: "If you wipe off all of the latex crumbles is the latex perfect? .... Is the color uniform? Does more latex crumble off the...

I'm looking for opinions on the next way to tweak my toppers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the current setup:
Two-year-old 9" high old-fashioned, two-sided (flippable), firm innerspring mattress (full size), on a wooden [correction: wood and steel] foundation; both still in very good shape.
On top of the mattress: 2" 32 ILD Talatech latex topper from SleepLikeABear.
On top of that: 1" Talatech latex topper, 24 ILD.
The 3" of latex are enclosed in a heavy-ish cotton/poly cover from FBM.

My wife and I are going to put together our own king size latex mattress. There is a foam supplier in our city that can purchase Latex International Talatech latex foam in twin XL size in 6” thickness. The foam supplier then said he could cut the 6” thick foam in half creating two 3” layers. We are planning on doing three 3” latex layers with a zipper terry cloth cover. So now I have to decide what ILD foam I should order. We are both primarily side sleepers (my wife sometimes sleeps on here stomach). I am 6’3” 275lbs and she is 5’9” 165 lbs. We prefer our bed to be firm. We were thinking 3” of ILD 44 on the bottom, 3” of ILD 36 in the middle and 3” of ILD 28 for the top. We already have a St. Dormiere wool mattress pad....

Did you ask if LatexMattressShop offers swapping after purchase? Probably not.
It's not clear what the top 1.5-2" consists of. A little latex, a little wool, bamboo fabric.... What exactly does that mean? Seems like an 8" bed with something on top.
But I think you are buying an 8" mattress here. A fair comparison to FBM is 6" dunlop with 2" dunlop/talalay, an enclosure. I don't know if enclosures have wool quilted into the top or not.
How far back did you dig in the archives to look at DIY mattresses? And I'm sure there are other people who have done DIY latex mattresses. Did you check some of...Aug 22, 2011 7:55 PM
I stumbled on Wat's Da Best while researching latex mattresses. I ordered a Foam By Mail product (same as Foam Factory) for our RV that is 3 inches of "soft" Talalay latex estimated ILD was 20 to 24 at the time over 5 inches of their HD36-R poly foam base. In our RV there is no room for a box spring so we're sleeping on a "board" but I was worried this 8 inch mattress would be too soft.
Actually, it's slightly too firm, both the wife and I wake up slightly stiff and sore, like we slept on the floor. I will try to fix this with a 1 or 2 inch layer of something softer; for example, Sleep Like A Bear's 14 ILD Talalay toppers. I would like to add a nicer cover and make this our main bed.

Interesting you would mention the foundation being semi flex or not. There are 2 beds, almost identical in contents but one has a semi-flexible box spring and the other is more typically rigid. I couldn't get an explaination as to why one was flexible and the other was not. Its impossible to get a straight answer from anyone. I'm leaning towards getting the set with the rigid box spring but only becuase it is taller and overall just a notch more comfy and bouncy. ALSO, how do i tell if the contents are high quality or low quality???????? They are from Aireloom...thats all i know. What questions can i ask to find out about the quality?

I keep seeing this comparision on many websites:
Percent Loss of Core Thickness:
- LI Talatech®: 3.3%
- European Talalay latex: 5.7% (73% more loss than LI)
- European Dunlop process latex: 7.5% (127% more loss than LI)
- Asian 100% natural latex: 12.5% (279% more loss than LI)
But it seems to be comparing Talatech (a blend) with European Talalay! How about Domestic Talalay vs Imported Talalay?
