Hi folks,

Back to tweaking my topper rather than buillding a bed.  I am about to give up on finding a magic bullet below the top 2"... so maybe an inch of real soft on an inch of "pretty soft" will do.

I have a 1" latex topper from Foam By Mail which is advertised as Talalay but I am sure is Dunlop.  It is quite dense and not very "soft", but not bad.  Another poster said "add 10" to the stated ILD for Dunlop to compare to Talalay.  I trust RMM to deliver talalay, but would like someone's input that RMM's talalay is "very soft" or "real soft" or some such.

Can anyone vouch for RMM's "soft" 1 inch?

 

Thanks,  Shovel99

shovel99, you were not nuts for thinking RMM. The RMM is 100% natural latex and SLAB is Talatech at the price you quoted. The 100% natural equivalent SLAB would have been $222. Need to compare apples to apples.

can't find the thread but someone confirmed that RMM's tatalay is from Latex Intl. I just ordered a 1" topper from them last week but it has not shipped yet. Their Customer service is not very responsive (been trying to find out if it is in stock to no avail) but hopefully the product is as good as I expect.

RMM has told me that theirs is made by Latex International.  I bought one at it does seem pretty high quality, so I think they are correct.  Yes, their service is not the most responive.  They are a bit slow in shipping out.  I have a feeling they have it drop shipped directly form LI or some wholesaler that buys from LI.  I think mine was shipped from North Carolina.

I can't remember, I bought 2" of 32 and 1" of 24.  The 32 was flawless, but the 24 had a few small tears on one side (not too unusual for 1"  latex, since it is delicate).  No glue seems either.  1" 19 blended from SLAB was 2 pieces glued (no big deal though to me).

Thanks Sandman. Older thread.  I ended up buying the 14 ILD from Slab.
