I hereby withdraw and recant all comments about overstock.com. I can't have it both ways. This message was modified Mar 3, 2010 by Pete

It seems to me, compared to other boards that I have participated in, that the moderators here do an above average job. Yeah, and the people here are MUCH less feisty than on other forums. You'd think people who aren't getting good sleep would be more irritable and nasty!  But the great majority of people here are very nice. Almost every other forum I've been on has a lot of fighting and negativity. The mods and the members do a good job here! |

FYI, O! is still selling the "bogus" Venus, many months after the original thread and issue was brought to their attention. Has anybody purchased the Sensus toppers from them? And, if so, did they appear genuine? I'm thinking of purchasing the 1" Sensus topper myself. |
| I am also interested in feedback on Overstock Sensus. I have owned real Sensus in the past and it is an outstanding product. If the Overstock is real, I would like to get an inch for myself. Previously I had 3" but that was too thick for me. It should be pink and VERY heavy if it is real. |

I have 1" of the Sensus from overstock. It is the only Sensus I have tried, so I have no frame of reference to tell is the real thing or not. I did measure and weigh it once, and I believe it was at least 5 lbs. density. It is pink. It does seem more dense and supportive than the blue type of "cooler" foams they sell at overstock. I have been happy with it, and use it below a 1" layer of latex. My one complaint is that it probably does not breathe as well as the cooler foams, so it can potentially cause heat issues. Using it like I do, under 1" of latex and a wool topper, the heat has not been a problem so far. This is the best 1" memory foam I have been able to find, but there are not a lot of choices if you only want 1". |
| Thanks sandman. Did it have much of an odor when you first got it? And, if so, how long before it dissipated? |

One other question: Was it full-cut to the full dimensions of the mattress size, or was it short-cut a few inches shorter? The measurements listed on O's website suggest they short-cut, which I don't care for. Of course, I can choose a larger size for the same price. But, I would like to be able to get two full-cut Twin XL's from the single King. I may have to order the Cal King just to fit ONE Twin XL's 80" length. |
| If anything I would say it is cut slightly too large. I don't remember exact measurements though. It was not a problem for me. |

Thank you for the feedback sandman. This message was modified Jun 19, 2010 by MequonJim

Ditto, sandman.
BTW, I think I might roll the dice and take a chance with the so-called "Venus". After a little more research, it seems that it might be 8lb Aerus (a real product according to the Foamex website, as I mentioned in my Aerus thread), which could explain the blue color and the possible mix-up with 4lb Aerus by their supplier. If I do take the gamble and try it, I'll definitely post my findings. This message was modified Jun 19, 2010 by garypen
