so I’ve decided to get 3 inch latex toppers to make 6 inch latex mattresses for my 3 year old and 7 year old. I think I’m gonna go with Foam Sweet Foam. Are they a legit company with good products?
Now I need to look for a mattress cover/encasement for the mattresses. I was looking at the Sleepez Natural Cotton and Wool zippered cover. Would that be a good option? I would also need an addition waterproof layer for one of the mattress. Any recommendations regarding this would really be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Jaehoppa and thanks for the inquiry! I know you’re looking for feedback from regular members, but I’d like to chime in real quick to say the cotton & wool cover from Sleep EZ should be an excellent choice, and our waterproof protector should be an excellent choice as well! The waterproof liner on the protector is made from TPU, which is not chemically treated and it biodegradable.

thanks for the reply. Is the GOLs dunlop worth extra money over the regular dunlop? Do they feel/smell noticeably different?
In my opinion, it’s not worth the extra money to pay for organic Dunlop, but I’ve included a summary of the differences just below so you can make the most informed decision on this -
When it comes to Dunlop latex, the organic certification doesn’t make much of a difference over 100% natural Dunlop. For latex, the organic certification requires that less water is used manufacturing, less electricity is used, the manufacturing plant has a smaller carbon footprint, less environmental impact, and things along those lines. It also includes things like workers’ rights (fair pay, overtime pay, safe work environment, etc). It basically certifies that the latex is better for the environment and the employees, but the end product is still the same between 100% natural Dunlop and organic Dunlop. They have all the same properties in terms of feel, durability, etc. etc. This is actually why there isn’t organic Talalay anywhere in the world. The Talalay process is more advanced and has more steps to it, and the Talalay manufacturers just can’t meet the lower limits of water and electricity usage required for the organic latex certification.
