Hi Hobotrader,
You would probably be the only person I know who could sleep on a mattress that used 40 ILD Dunlop in the top layer and I would really wonder how well it would work over the course of a night in terms of pressure relief. I just can’t imagine 40 ILD Dunlop being too soft or not supportive enough for anyone … but again your own personal testing “trumps” everything else. I just hope you’re not confusing the “feel” and elasticity of latex with being unsupportive.
Some of the online members here will ship to Canada as well which may also be an option (and they carry firm Dunlop as well as Talalay) but they would need to go across the border which would involve shipping costs along with HST and brokerage. I don’t know of any latex that is 50 ILD.
There are some softer layers on top that allow the firmer layers underneath to “come through” although they don’t release the actual ILD’s of the polyfoam. Almost all firm or ultra firm mainstream mattresses have some soft foam on top … just not as much as the softer models.
I think he probably meant Latex Green (Greensleep is a mattress manufacturer not a latex foam producer) which is a well known source of good quality latex that also supplies several of the members of the site (and many others) with their Dunlop latex. They also have certified organic Dunlop latex but I personally wouldn’t pay the premium over their 100% natural dunlop (see post #6 here).
Thanks for the heads up. Their website isn’t a priority (they are mostly wholesale) but you can reach them at the contact information here
I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up with at the end of this journey.
