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

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....(?) |

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. |
