Hi Schenkelini.
Thank you for your updates …most importantly congratulations on going from better to better with an unsuspected layer improvement. You’ve certainly made a few good value/quality choices with the Sleep On Latex topper(s). I am glad that this took your bed to “whole other level of comfort” :lol:
It is well known in the industry that the ILDs alone are not the most reliable indicator of how soft or firm a mattress/layer would feel. Partly because ILDs of different types and blends of latex aren’t always directly comparable to each other (see post #6 here ) partly because ILD can be measured in different ways from manufacturer to manufacturer and partly because ILD isn’t the only factor that affects the softness or firmness of a material . Dunlop has a different “feel” and performance than Talalay and is less lively or springy and some people may prefer it over the other. You can see a comparison between them in post #7 here but generally, as you’ve recently discovered your own experience is really the only way to know which one you prefer with any certainty.
I’m certainly looking forward to any further updates once all the other components have arrived and you’ve had a chance to test rest them.
