Purchased a 2” Celsion topper and zippered terry cloth cover from sleeplikeabear.com.
It was delivered yesterday and here are my impressions:
We plan on sleeping in this configuration for a while then will decide on next move …I’ll post any revelations “we” observe. Previous posted

. My wife being allergic to almost everthing I worried about putting it on the bed right away but after returning from the YMCA we changed the sheet and put it on under the bottom fitted sheet (tight fit!)

The ILD is 15 (trying to replicate the Pranasleep 10ILD, 2" top layer). As for the smell , it's hard to describe but initially (just out of the shrink bag) it was not something I would like to bury my nose in. Upon returning from our workout at the YMCA it wasn't quite as intense so we decided to make up the bed with it as the layer directly under the bottom fitted sheet. Because my wife has enjoyed the difference in comfort from just this 2" topper, she has given me the "OK" to build the rest of the bed (a FloBed Natural Deluxe-Natural Talalay Latex Green Mattress). If it wasn't so late here I would be on the phone now! I'm leaning toward F/XF/XF for both sides and believe my wife will get all the softness she says she likes from the substitution of the 2" Celsion topper in place of the FloBed 2" convoluted layer. Both have approx the same effective ILD but the Celsion is a full, non egg crate piece. Can't wait to sleep sans divet! ( Let's see.....8:00AM PT would be 11:00AM here |
)
Just got off the phone with Dewey.....ordered the FloBed Can't wait for next Friday (when I should be getting delivery)! |

My new FloBed just showed up! Assembly was a breeze, even easier than putting the Celsion topper into the Terrycloth cover. The new bed is a Natural Deluxe eastern king. It's currently configured XF/XF/F both sides (although Dewey picked out XF's at higher end ILD for my side and marked the shipping bags as mine). My wife helped assemble it so first we zipped everything up with the FloBed convoluted topper as the top layer, laid on it for a few minutes then unzipped and replaced the convoluted with the 2" Celsion topper. We both liked this "feel" better and decided this is the configuration we will test drive. We plan on using the convoluted topper on the twin beds (cut in half) in the spare bedroom for the grandkids use. Sheets fit on a whole lot easier than they did on the old Serta Perfect Night (~15" deep non-pillowtop) and my wife says it's lighter lifting the corners too. I goofed up and should have put both summer & winter dust ruffles on so you could just fold under the unused one (they're different colors to match the winter & summer color schemes). I'll post again after a few nights on this (new) setup. |

Well my wife and I decided we wouldn't change a thing! Both of us are very comfortable with the setup of XF/XF/F and the celsion replacing the convoluted topper. Today we put the old Serta Perfect Night out for garbage pickup. Very very satisfied. |
| rjb772, Thank you for sharing your experience with the bed. What I like is that a topper of choice does fit inside the zippered cover. I am so glad that you wife and you got the set up right the first time and Dewey was able to find X-Firm ILD's on the higher side for you. I love sleeping on my latex bed (a FloBed like yours but I have a different topper and not the convoluted topper that many people love but I wanted only a 1" cushion on top) and I am glad you and your wife are getting the same comfort and wonderful sleeping experience. |

Sandman, he said he was going to use it over the guest beds, cut in half. Congratulations RJB on your mattress success. Do you have a thread with what you setup and your age/weight info for reference for future buyers (perhaps me)? I see you got natural talalay F/XF/XF. But do you have any ailments like bursitis in the hip? I am so wishing this would help me, but I have my doubts. Again congrats. |

Leo3 First posted Need latex mattress help Please My wife and I don't really have any "structural" ailments. We've been going to the YMCA since January (Christmas present from us to us) and I have been losing weight steadily, My wife is having a harder time sheading pounds even though she exercises much more than I do.i've told her the it's the fact that muscle burns fat faster and men are naturally more muscular. We do have the "normal" aging aches and pains from overdoing ( we both still think & act younger than our years). My wife has the dreaded Menopause symptoms and for me I joke that the proverbial Lynch pin fell out when I turned 55. Thank God my wife kept me in relatively good shape because I needed every advantage I could. My extra weight came from being sedintary in between the numerous surgerys to get that darn pin back in. |
