Purchased a 2” Celsion topper and zippered terry cloth cover from sleeplikeabear.com.
It was delivered yesterday and here are my impressions:

. 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!)

Celsion topper is 2" thick encased in the Terry cloth zippered cover (also purchased from SLAB). It is placed on top of an 8year old Serta Perfect Night, non pillow-top mattress then covered by the fitted sheet. I am comparing the Serta with and without the Celsion topper/cover....Nothing else has been altered except possibly the ambient room temp (which should have been a negative contributer as the nighttime temperature has risen over the last 3 from the mid teens to the low 30's. Before you jump to the furnace possibly being on during the nights when the temp was in the teens, we set back our thermostat to 50 at night because of those "hot flashes". I've joked with friends and neighbors that I was possibly going to have to run an air conditioner and the furnace simultaneously to accomodate the minute to minute Jeckyl and Hyde hot flashes cause |

Okay, so are benchmarks are a bit different. I was comparing it to blended Talatech latex. I am not sure what foam would be built into the top of an 8 year old Serta. If it is PU, then I would agree that the Celsion would probably be cooler. However, if the Serta is pretty firm with little foam on top, then I would have thought that would have been reasonably cool already. The real test would be for you to put try a blended latex or 100% natural latex topper, and see if the Celsion is cooler than that. But, if it is working for you, that is great.

| I'm certainly not saying the OP is incorrect, as I have not tried Celsiun at all. But I would suggest that sleeping on a good fluffy but not-too-thick wool or one of the other toppers Budgy mentioned might have more of an effect than the Celsiun. So if you want even more coolness you might try wool or one of the other things. But hey, if the Celsiun is working well enough for you, all I can say is, Great! |

It's now been 6 nights sleeping on the celsion topper and I still haven't had any covers thrown over on to me so I believe the claim that it sleeps cool. Ambient temps hit the high 80's for three of those 6 days, all three were record high temps (one even broke a 120year record) Nighttime temps dipped into the high 50's which is really hot this time of year in upstate NY. We even broke the overnight high temp on two of those nights. (AC units are still stored in the attic so these nights were sans air conditioning) I'd say for myself and my wife this purchase is a big thumbs up We did previously try an approximately 1.5" thick wool topper (my wife purchased it so I can't give details on make and cost) but this, (the celsion) seems to sleep cooler (for us at least). I didn't like the wools tendency to flatten out under my 260+lbs so I think any air pocket(s) crushed overnight under me. Went back to a cotton mattress pad after about 6 months until we got the latex this year. Cost of the Celsion topper is it's only drawback ($466 for a 2" eastern king) but for me not getting those extra covers thrown on and taken off of me multiple times during the night justifys the cost many times over. |

Thanks for the update rjb. Great to know it does what it claims. On another thread you said: "I'm embarking on a quest to replicate, for my wife, the feel of a Pranasleep Wahe Guru but at a significantly lower price. This is the first step, the topper. Next comes the FloBed I've been specing out. When I'm finished I plan on being 95-98% the same feel and quality, yet I will have spent less than half. The Celsion is only my first step I'm so interested in following your progress on this quest. Please keep updating as you go. Thanks, Natalie |

"I'm embarking on a quest to replicate, for my wife, the feel of a Pranasleep Wahe Guru but at a significantly lower price." Of course that bed was designed for a deity with six arms. So, it might be hard to replicate. |

| Budgy can you find out how Latex International makes this Celsion topper? What is in it? Wouldn't they share with a mattress company person? They are very secretive on their website about it. |
| Im curious to know as well....but I don't really do any business with these guys on a direct level...so I am a little hesitant to ask. They may not want to divulge any info if some of the processes used are proprietary to them as well. |
