The Friendly Foam Shop in Seattle

@ Diane37,

Does Invigo have good quality latex? I will call this company to try to find out the density.

All the latex you are likely to encounter is a good quality material but Invigo is a brand name for DeCourcy. You can see some comments about them and the owner Mark DeCourcy (EDIT: who has now passed away) in post #2 here and in post #4 here. They will give you accurate information about their latex. Comparing the density of blended Dunlop with the density of 100% natural Dunlop wouldn’t be a particularly accurate way of comparing the firmness of the two materials (synthetic rubber is not as dense as natural rubber).

@ buttercupbetty,

P.S. Hey Phoenix, should we start a new thread for this? We’ve kind of gotten off topic

I’ll leave that up to you since you are the OP of the thread. I’m not always too strict with this … especially if the OP is involved in the “off topic” conversations but if you want a new thread then I can always split it into a new thread from one post onwards (or even split off individual posts).

Update: I visited this store a couple of days ago. Staff seemed knowledgeable. They told me that their latex is from Sri Lanka, and that their distributor is Canadian.

Just for clarity … which store did you mean here?

I forgot to mention that my FAVORITE topper (so far) is 2" of soft latex wrapped in wool. The one I tried was at Soaring Heart Natural Mattress in Seattle. Very comfortable and supportive. Also the most expensive topper across the board, based on my research. (the one I tried was all organic)

FWIW and for the sake of others that read this (because I think you already know) … SleepEz has a topper like this here.
