Sandman, can you please report back after you try this out? (Same with the cotton/bamboo sheets?)

I thought I was done spending $ on my new bed, but now that fall has come and I've got my down-alternative comforter on the bed, I'm waking up hot & sweaty. I think my options are:

a) change the programmable-thermostat settings so the heat doesn't come on until after I get up (wake up to a cold house; cheapest option and first one I'll try);

b) ditch the comforter and buy a lighter-weight comforter or a medium-weight blanket (I'm using a low-thread-count cotton duvet cover, which I just bought because the flannel cover was way too hot);

c) ditch the polyfill/cotton mattress pad and get a wool/cotton pad or an Outlast pad*, or something...

I'm not sure what the answer to your question is going to be.  My latex bed does not feel "jiggly," and actually that's a feel I would appreciate more of - I think.  Although "bouncy" might be a better word.   I have three, 3" layers + a 3" topper.  My latex bed has a knitted cotton and wool mattress cover, which I like very much (although I'm not sure about the sturdiness of the zipper, presumeably I won't be doing too much zipping and unzipping).  My bed is from Flobeds.

It may be that the jiggly feeling you don't like has more to do with the medium firmness you ordered rather than the lack of a mattress cover.  If you would like less jiggliness (lol if that's even a word), I would suggest changing the medium core for a firm core, and having the soft topper over that.  I would...

Cardamons,

Good luck with finding the right combo for you. I deal with sever pain/health issues, so I know the challenge, and can relate to what you said re: the relationship between sleep and pain (which seems to go both ways, at least for me, and the worst is terrible pain and no sleep at all!)

I've mentioned in other threads what I seem to need--soft on top but very supportive underneath (current set-up is soft, medium X-firm natural talalay). Not that it's a "magic bullet"; I still have lots of pain, however, I"m not waking up every 5 minutes from it. And I'm sleeping better.

Hi Catlover,

I'm still playing around with the layers, but will post back when I have it "finalized". I know what you mean about the choice of dunlap with Savvyrest, and thus your decision to go that route. That was a consideration for me to. I need a lot of support for back problems, but also a lot of softness for nerve problems (especially cause I sleep on my side mostly).

Right now I'm sleeping on (top to bottom) soft, medium, X-firm talalay (all-natural). The other 2 configurations I've tried the most are soft, firm,firm and medium, medium, X-firm. I actually prefer the latter in terms of support, but still get some shooting nerve pain when on my side for any length of time. (I have a pretty complex health situation going on though). I did briefly try the zoned layer, but did not care for it. For comparison...

I think Savvy Rest charges shipping both ways (as opposed to only 1-way like FloBeds does) AND, they don't vacuum pack the latex, so boxes are twice as large. Also dunlap is a bit heavier than talalay (the natural in each type; don't know anything about the blended). Hence the higher shipping charges.

I have slept on both all natural dunlap and talalay (however not a bed with both), and they do feel quite different (even if ILDs are the same). Unfortunately I did not have 2 beds side by side to try when I was researching, nor were my past dunlap mattresses comparable in depth or ocnfiguration to my current talalay one. And except for my last bed, which was very thin dunlap, the others, albeit much thicker, were literally decades ago (eg: I had a Sears dunlap mattress through childhood, and then another dunlap one, don't know what brand,...
