I originally put this in the Plushbeds thread but I thought it was probably more appropriate that it had it's own. I'll add more for Dunlop and other thicknesses as I have the chance or find out more from some of the companies I didn't include because they don't have prices listed on their website.

If anyone has any other good sources for latex toppers that offer good prices or choices ... or even special time limited pricing as they come up ... they would certainly be welcomed

You will also find 3" Talalay toppers on Ebay ... including some who sell factory seconds for quite a bit less.

There are quite a few other sources available but I didn't include them either because they were higher than these in price, didn't have 3", or didn't have prices on their website (even though I suspect some of these may be less).

If someone either wanted Dunlop or a different thickness, then there are many more options besides these.

Thanks for letting me know. I checked the website and he has indeed removed the label on the picture. I changed the description to say "organic cotton cover".

Overall I'd say this has turned out well and it's nice to see a reputable merchant that takes the high road and does the right thing. There are many out there who wouldn't have.

Thought I would check in here since I used this thread to pick out my topper.

I ordered a Plush Rejuvenite Latex topper (3" Cal King, $422 Shipped) to go on top of my Costco Sleep Science 10" Cal King Dunlop Latex Mattress ($1247 Shipped) We only have slept on it for one night so far, but the results are very positive.

I have actually had the sleep science mattress for about 8 months, but we were using a queen unknown ILD latex topper with it since my girlfriend and I found the bed much too firm. It took me forever to decide on the topper, partially because I was recovering from the money spent on the mattresses and bedroom set and partially because I wasn't sure what ILD the queen was, which we both enjoyed that combination a ton, aside from losing the space gained by the cal king.

After seeing this thread, I finally bit the bullet and bought the Rejuvenite plush topper. It definitely feels softer than our existing one, but it doesn't seem to be lacking support. I feel the combination of a thick firm dunlop base (which feels very springy) and a plush topper is a great mix. The dunlop reminds me of having a spring mattresses without the coils, while the talalay rejuvenite topper provides the plush comfort layer that I can sink into without feeling like there is nothing supporting me underneath (no PU foam here!). Overall my girlfriend and I are very pleased with our new setup, although obviously a few more nights of sleep are needed to make a full recommendation. In the end we ended up with a 13" Solid Latex California King bed for just shy of $1700, which would have only gotten me an 8in Cal King bed from most retailers.

As an aside for anyone who is interested, here is my buying experience with mattresses.net (Arizona Premium Mattress Company):

I ordered the topper November 25th (Thanksgiving Weekend). I received and order confirmation almost immediately, although no shipping estimate or notice of stock. About 2 weeks later I received a notice from UPS that I had a package coming from Arizona Premium Mattress Company. The day it was supposed to be delivered... they had forgotten to put the unit # for my condo on the package and it was sent back to the local UPS facility. I picked it up from UPS the next day (2.5 Weeks after order) in a swollen box. Inside the box, the topper was folded in half and rolled up, although not vacuum sealed. I had to cut the box off around the topper, cut the bag off and despite the less than stellar look of the box, a pristine topper came out, smelling of a weird vanilla cake smell (typical of latex). Overall I would say the shipping was a little bit slow, and communication was definitely lacking, but there were no serious problems with my order. In the end the product I received was dead on what I was hoping for. I also really like the cover on the latex (which I opened to see a uniform piece of Talalay inside. My old Queen topper had no cover, and split in half at a seam sometime around 5 years ago.

BTW im 5'8 170lbs, my GF is 5'8 145lbs
