Wish I seen this before a bought my Latex mattress, I could have saved my self about a grand. Anyone looking to do this, you have to make sure your latex is 100% sap from a tree rubber. Not all latex is. Talalay processed latex can as much as 80% synthetic, plastic, and still be called natural. The GOLS certification is one of those things to look for. Dunlop processed latex is more likely to be 100% natural sap from a tree. And yes, anyone seriously looking to buy a bed should watch the Sleep Essentials videos. The information is an eye opener.
As long as you buy Talalay that says "100% natural" you will get 100% stuff. If the seller doesn't specify that the Talalay is 100% natural, then it is a blend for sure
Great job! I think I am going to do the same. Did you get two 3 inch toppers from them to make a mattress? I just bought two toppers. The company said it would be fine. They seem great to work with so far.
Dunlop latex gets the GOLS certification becauee its the REAL deal. Talalay latex is very expensive to make, so companies mix 30% of talalay latex and 70% synthetic latex. That is why it doesn't have the GOLS certification.
@@jim.zuzukiz3583 just dug those details up. 6" base core is a 36 ILD, 3" topper is medium (28-33) & then I added a 1" gel topper to make it a bit plushy. Paid $1,348 total.
@@johnspencer8982 going to build a latex mattress, was going to get the medium Dunlop 3 inch to start and try then maybe a firm Dunlop 3 inch for bottom layer then maybe a 3 inch talalay soft for top

Could you add links in the description to where you bought all your stuff?
Thank you very much for your effort on this.
Thank you for all the detailed information.

Did you fasten the two toppers together? I once had a latex topper for my spring mattress and it would shift off to the side over time.
Solid video. I wish you mentioned if you liked it or not though.
that was good
How did the firmness work out for your back?
Did you consider the hybrid coil’s
Can you make me a hexagon bed
Nice I built one of these too. 9" of dunlop and a 1" gel topper. Built me a Cali king.
What firmness do you use?

@@johnspencer8982 do you think a 3 inch soft talalay topper would be ok for a side sleeper
@@jim.zuzukiz3583 do you have a firm base? Or are you adding this to an old matress?
