I've had a long disucssion with my daughter about her Sleepez bed. The issue is she is sleeping too hot at night. I have a theory about this, because as I mentioned in my previous Flobed/Sleepez Comparison thread, the Sleepez cover is very thin with very little wool actually quilted to the cover. My Flobed mattress cover is much more luxurious with 2" of wool quilted to the cotton knit on all sides. I think the Sleepez cover does not have enough wool to insulate against the warm tendencies of latex. It's just a theory. The bottom line is, she can't sleep, she's tossing and turning all night, and sweating all night because the mattress is just too hot. So I sat down with her to discuss the options, which are: 1) return the mattress and get something else (not latex); 2) get a wool topper for the bed and see if that will ameliorate the heat issues. We have lots of time left on the 90 day return period, so I would like to see if I can address her heat issue by putting some insulating material between the mattress and my daughter before I go the more drastic route of returning the entire mattress for a refund. I tried searching the site for information about wool toppers, but there is just so much here and I couldn't find any threads that specifically speak to wool toppers. SO. Anyone have a nice quality wool topper they can recommend? Budgy, you are a wealth of information - what do you suggest I can put on the bed to try to address the heat issue?

Yeah, I was hating my bed for awhile there, and it is still too soft, but my back is feeling better. I think because I sleep on my husbands side most the night nursing my new baby. He sleeps on the couch, so he doesn't even really know what he prefers. The little time he does get to sleep in his bed, I say first thing in the morning to him, honey what do you think?, he says "I don't know". I tell him, you must figure it out because Shaun is waiting for the other layers to be returned. It's driving me crazy waiting for my husband to figure out what comfort he likes. I think mainly because I want to steal one of his firmer layers, then I feel bad for trying to talk him into taking one of my softer layers,lol. I want to return this too soft top layer and get a medium, but Shaun says there really is no difference. I don't see how there couldn't be, or why else would they even have a different category for medium and soft?. I checked out Flo beds, but I'm not willing to spend that much money. but they sound nice. I figure if someone is gonna buy blended latex, they might as well pretty much buy it anywhere for a better price since it's not pure or all natural. Well as long as it's not from China.
Does anyone know if Europe even produces Latex?, do they have the trees there to do that?. That is where Foambymail says their manufacturor is from. This message was modified May 21, 2010 by mycakebed

| Yes, latex is manufactured in Europe. I think that Latex International latex, which is what Flobeds and Sleepez uses, is the quality standard though. |
| it is definitely manufactured there as well as in the US and Canada. But the Hevea milk itself is sourced from SE Asia and now parts of Africa. |
