Hi EZ4HZ,
[quote]Amazon.com
I remember you said ultimate sleep mislabels theirs toppers as talala, this is described as talatechn from latex international… Is it real talalay? I’m okay with blended. [/quote]
If it really comes from Latex International then it would be Talalay but I would be very cautious about dealing with them based on their history of misrepresenting at least some of the products they sell. It’s easy to get “faked out” by unusually low prices with incorrect descriptions. You can also see the ILD ratings for Latex International / Talalay Global blended latex here and as you can see they don’t have a firmness level that is rated as 22 ILD.
Any thickness of latex would be “real latex” but toppers with different firmness levels and different thicknesses will each have a different effect on how a topper feels in combination with your mattress. Post #2 here and the topper guidelines it links to has more information that can help you use your sleeping experience as a reference point and guideline to choose the type, thickness, and firmness for a topper that has the least risk and the best chance of success.
