Likelihood same Dunlop product is labeled differently (by ILD and "firmness")?

Hi ehuesman,

You are correct, what you see at the bottom of the photograph is carpet. Right now, the two layers are lying on bedroom floor while await the talalay replacement.

That’s good news. I kept looking at it and couldn’t figure out what it was

I think putting the 85D over the 60D would be pointless. Wouldn’t it?

It wouldn’t necessarily be pointless because having the firmer layer in the middle would reduce the amount your heavier pelvic girdle sinks down into the mattress which can improve alignment and support vs the other way around. It could also slightly reduce the depth of the pressure relieving cradle and create a slightly firmer sleeping surface as well.

Although most local and online mattress retailers told me this foundation would suffice (The Natural Mattress Store is the only one that didn’t), I am concerned about the spacing of the wires. I don’t even know if “wires” is the correct term. I can’t see them through the cloth, but they feel large enough to be called small rods. Semantics I suppose…

The foundation is probably a Triton foundation and you can see a picture here. It would be a little more giving than solid non flexing slats but I would also be a little bit hesitant to use these types of wire grid foundations in the longer term with an all latex mattress (that has latex on the bottom layer of the mattress) for the reasons in post #10 here. Softer latex would have more risk of sinking into the wire grid than firmer latex.
