I hereby withdraw and recant all comments about overstock.com. I can't have it both ways.

I too, shall be getting a hefty refund, thanks Pete!

Some recourse for all the foam I've bought and am not using. I plan to make high-end dog beds and sell them at Farmers Market.

Gee, it looks like some corporate hit man may have "rubbed Pete out". (Look at all his previous posts.)

Jim: One of the reasons that I like participating in this forum is the fact that the moderators do a good job of moderating.

Don't ask for any more details. My hands are legally tied. I'll be leaving the forum for good, now. So any pm's will go unanswered. My only mission here was to expose Venus-gate. That mission is complete. I no longer serve a function in this forum. Goodbye everyone; sleep well, be well. Pete

I agree Eagle2, I was just making a joke,and I was not referring to the Mod(s) here but rather to the vendor.

But actually  it was my impression that Pete did his own editing to fulfill his promise to Overstock to "shut up" about Venus foam allegedly not being legitimately Venus foam. If you look at the posts it shows that Pete edited each one yesterday. 

I find it interesting that Overstock is still selling "Venus" foam, though....(?)

Yes, I understood that Jim. 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".
