Samina Bed (slat system in particular)

Hi joesh,

Also what ILD might be good for the “springs.” I’m assuming, given the very small surface area, that I’d be best off with the highest ILD I could find. Something in the 40s I think?

I would agree with you that one of the highest ILD’s would probably work best. There is a similar idea here (without the wood slats on top and with more latex strips) and they use the highest ILD of blended Talalay latex available (which would be 44 ILD).

I’d be looking for some strips of latex - 6 at about 3"x3"x80" but half-length strips would do as well. In those small sizes I’m thinking there’s probably someplace I can get very good value as they’d probably be able to come out of scrap bits.

I would probably check with some of the suppliers listed here to see if they have any 3" thick odds and ends that you could purchase and use to cut the strips you need.

An electric carving knife works very well to cut latex.
