Hi, I have a 4 inch memory foam that I got at overstock about 8 years ago, it has I believe, broken down. It rips easy now and there is a big depression in the center where I sleep that no longer will recover. My lower back is complaining again and I am no longer getting a good sleep. I also have a bad rotator cuff from a recent accident that hurts more if I sleep without the memory foam. I have a gold bond extra firm mattress as a base for the topper that is less than a year old. I have been looking at the following products: Aerus Natural 4.0 lb. Plush 2.5” Memory Foam 2.5 inch I saw at samscluba wool topper that has 8.33 lbs of wool from naturaworld also debating a latex topper.
I was looking at the wool topper as I perspire alot at night, maybe due to the heat of the memory foam or just the fact that I perspire more normally than normal. I hear the wool is very good at wicking and keeping heat at reasonable levels in both winter and summer. I was not sure if the wool topper alone would give me the needed pressure point relief that the memory foam does. I also think the foam I am currently using is not dense enough; I think it is 2 lb. Reading some of this forum the aerus sounds pretty good without too much off gassing... I am not sure if my allergies are affected by the current topper or not but they may be worse with it .. so I was thinking along the lines of a better setup with less fumes. I know samsclub has the aerus and if I went with that would I need to double it up for 4+ inches ( put two of the 2.5 together?) Would I be better off with something like a thinner wool pad and the foam? i know this is highly subjective but would the 4 pound aerus and a wool topper give me a fairly firm feel but soft enough to relieve pressure? I am a side and stomach sleeper so I can never get perfect, I just want some setup that is softer than the extra firm base and not as soft as the 2 lb foam with some breathability. I haven't looked into latex toppers yet, the aerus seems to be within my budget though and it claims to be free from off gassing? I have no clue here.

I ended up ordering a 3" topper from www.customsleepdesign.com at the beginning of January. I ordered a 3 inch 19ild so we shall see. I do hope it comes before shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. I had called International Latex and that place was referred to as a dealer of their toppers also, they seemed knowledgable on the phone and very helpful.
Update 2/10 .... It has been a while but it is finally shipping YAY This message was modified Feb 10, 2011 by BobKat

A comment on the Pure Latex Bliss 2" 14ILD Topper:
I own one, and it is 1-5/8" Latex with a very nice feeling cover. I just wanted to point out that, evidently, the 2" is including the cover thickness. I didn't need the cover and was choosing between (both 14ILD) the PLB 2" Queen Topper at STLBeds for $299, and the 2" Queen from SLAB at $314. I figured I'll save $15 and get a "free" cover by going with the PLB Topper. But now I realize it wasn't as good of a deal as I thought due to the thickness difference (which can create some challenges when customizing). However, we do love the topper. I even doubled it over for my wife to sleep on 3-1/4" of 14ILD and she loved it (she is 5'6" and 110lbs). But, unfortunately for her, after two nights, I had to take my side back.

The topper came. I ordered a 3 inch but they shipped me 2 inch lol so now I have to wait another week. They shipped the wrong topper. They are sending a return label and the 3 inch on Monday. I was so excited to get it too but mistakes happen and as long as they are made right it's all good. This message was modified Feb 11, 2011 by BobKat
