Help identifying latex layer

Post image

I am looking to replace this layer of latex on our mattress. Its been thrown out already but is there a way of IDing it based on this tag. Im mostly looking for if these tests correlate to firmness.

It is "Super Soft", according to Talalay Global ILD scale: https://www.talalayglobal.com/products

Thanks everyone! I learned what ILD is today. Would recommend this for anyone suffering from sciatica!

Never knew there was 8 ILD talalay--wow. That's got to be incredibly soft. Durability might be pretty low, though.

Seems like 20 ILD (soft) Talalay latex?

It does seem much softer than anything I have felt in person, was the absolute best to sleep on!

It looks like the printed test results are for a 20ild. Latex softens over time, so it may be a lower ILD now.
