Latex International vs Latex Green

[phoenix]

Hi ricardo4833,

Other threads mention that Latex Green (LG) makes only dunlop latex. The LG website seems to confirm this as well.

Yes that’s correct. They don’t make Talalay. They make 100% natural Dunlop latex both with and without an organic certification.

I guess that puts me back at square one for the research into Foam By Mail (FBM) I was doing.

You can read more about Foam Factory (aka FBM, Foam by mail, and many others) in post #2 here and post #2 here and in this thread. They are not a reliable supplier and I would be very cautious in any dealings with them. If you do choose to buy anything from them then what you receive would be a “roll of the dice” in terms of the type and quality of the material and they certainly don’t sell Talalay latex (even though they say they do).

I guess I’ll have to dig a little more into finding a good source of mattress components…unless you know of any?

Some of the better sources of mattress components I’m aware of are listed in post #4 here.

Or, is there some way of looking at a piece of latex and knowing who the supplier is (Latex Green, Latex International, Latexco, Arpico, etc)?

No … not unless a label or identifying mold impression is still on the part of the full core that you receive. This is one of many reasons that it’s so important to deal with a reliable supplier.
