I didnt switch it when i got it and am lead to believe i therefore have the soft side up, right? Assuming so, has anyone flipped it and if so was it noticeably firmer? too much? etc? thanks! (i now have a one inch foam, sensus/overstock-pink on there and i am experiencing slight low back issues, not bad yet but thinking maybe firmer but dont know) |

| I believe "Pains" question was answered by Sandman???? Randy I also have the "Costco Latex" and was interested in your experience with the 1 inch topper (I have the same 3 inch which I already owned and agree it's too much). Aside from the back issue is it a better fix for the firmness from a comfort standpoint? From what I can gather the mattress is shipped with the "soft" side on top but at least one person said theirs was the opposite! For "Pains" benefit: 1- This mattress is firm, even on the soft side. 2- It is not hot. 3- It is a great value. 4- I like it the way it is my wife would like a "softer" feel. Bob |

I think you will have to partially unzip and look inside. Based on the description, the soft side has 1" of 19 ILD on top, over 2" of 24. The bottom (firmer side) is 3" of 24. So, if you have 1" on top that should be the soft side. I don't own this mattress, but I am basing in the description that was on the Costco website. Randy, what do you think of the Sensus foam?

(i now have a one inch foam, sensus/overstock-pink on there and i am experiencing slight low back issues, not bad yet but thinking maybe firmer but dont know) I am new to this forum but I hope I can give my two cents. I believe that the default to any mattress configuration is that the soft side is up. Have you tried flipping it over and trie dto feel the other side? They should feel different-right? Let us know as I have no experience with flippable mattress. |

Hi randys! Been thinking about you. Each and every night I am healing myself little by little after reading hundreds of posts. I too am interested in your pink foam! Tonight I doubled some gray "convoulted" stuff from Overstock and took away the pillows. Bingo except the foam is HOT! Boy, I don't do hot real well but it sure is comfortable. I bought a really nice 500 thread count fiber topper at the Triple B and let me tell you! This thing started at $300, marked down to $119, with my 20% off it was less than $100!! It is so thick and puffy, cool and very comfortable. Made by Sleep Health Centers. I encourage you to give something like that a "try". Sure, I'd love to have a 5 inch wool topper but I'm not willing to spend $400-$1000! Soon I will posts pics of MY bed and what I did. I want to thank you and elaine from Canda, you both were very helpful. I wish you the best of luck, latex just was not for me. Neither is squishy mem foam, it's too hot, that's why I'm asking about the pink stuff. I put my two inch latex topper on my couch! THE DOGS LOVE IT!! They have several dogs beds, different kinds of filling and they ALWAYS go toward the latex.........?? Must know something, hun? I am looking at the 14 inch bed at Costco which is a blend of mem and latex. Have you seen it? Remember, you are NOT stuck and latex isn't for everybody. I might order the Costco bed in a twin and see if I like it. I like the idea of two different kinds of twins together, I'm by mayself so I get to do wahtever I want. :) Alice I'm back on air, BTW. |

mem/latex combo at costco? not familiar the sensus is fine i guess but you can barely tell it is there - not hot, but cant tell till summer if most things we sleep on are hot or not unless you live in tropics i am flipping it today and will let you all know what happens this is frustrating...

| Sandman is right. You don't need to flip the mattress. Just open the zipper and feel the layers. The soft side is an inch thick . The firmer side is noticeably thicker. |

Oops I thought it was randy who replied to my above first and second posts. But no randy did not reply. I found out through other costco latex mattress buyer that the mattress is soft and that it is not for people who have low back pain. just tried to conform that here. thanks. |
