I am currently interested in the Simmons World Class Paris Plush Firm model @ Sleep Train.  I was reading other posts in this forum talking about sleeping hot on memory foam and I am concerned with this.  I live in Southern California and due to the weather I tend to sleep hot.  The Simmons Paris has memory foam in it and I am interested in finding something similar with latex instead.  Anyone know what would be comparable to this?  Also, would the comfort change going from memory foam to latex?  If so, how?  Thanks for the feedback.

Hello Fubu,

The comparitively thin layer of memory foam found in the model you're looking at will not overly affect the temperature at which the bed sleeps. The ticking of the bed will have a greater impact. That model does not sleep excessively warm.

That said, if temperature is a defining need in your mattress purchase and you tend to sleep warm naturally I'd recommend something with a bamboo or silk top. The Sealy Natural Origins series is comparably priced to the World Class. If you can find the 7-turn model instead of the 5-turn it'll even have a similar feel albeit a touch softer.

Goodluck!
