I have a pretty firm ("cushion firm") innerspring Sealy mattress that I've owned for 9 years and I often wake up with hip numbness (I'm a side sleeper). Anyway, I was considering getting a 2" or 3" latex topper unless someone has a better suggestion. I don't know which height is best or what ILD range I should be looking at to soften things up a bit. I don't want to "sink in" and I don't want something that conforms to my body and makes me hot or doesn't breathe well, so that's why I thought a latex topper would be a good choice (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm 160lbs. Again, this is going on top of a pretty firm innerspring mattress and my main objective is to relieve pressure points - particularly in my hips. Several sites seem to offer the same line of latex toppers in both 16-18 & 26 ILD. So, what do you think would best suit my needs... 1. 2" or 3"? 2. 16-18 ILD (medium-soft) or 26 ILD (medium-firm)? Thanks a ton! This message was modified Dec 21, 2007 by jkozlow3

I'll admit that FBM's customer service is lacking and there have been reports of incompetent if not shady business habits, but I've been pleased with the latex I purchased from them and the price I paid. Mccldwll, I agree that LI Talatech is a safe choice, but I've never read complaints of other brands. Have you had a bad experience? Centralplastic.com also has Talatech latex, but apparently only in 33 ILD. Prices are decent. I believe Dunlopillo talalay latex is also a safe choice from what I've read. |
