Anyone care to comment on Foam By Mail Memory toppers?

They say the 4.5lb isn't as much temp sensitive as the 5.5lb, which is "closer" to T-Pedics patented foam (I know no one has that exact one). They deny they're made in China (if that counts). But it would be nice to hear from users. BTW, I see all sorts of posts using mem foam under latex, that doesn't make sense - does it? I thought the mem had to conform to the body and used body heat, so it had to be the top. I have a zillion combos of FBM latex and have found that they are all firmer than their ILDs would seem. Once I knew that I could plan better, but I would have saved $$ ordering softer at first. So I understand this is all very subjective anyway from my latex trials, but doesn't hurt to ask. |

| That's good to know, thanks. As things stand right now, I plan on ordering the base foam of my mattress in high Q, high R, PU and then top it with 2 latex toppers, medium and soft, that I can switcheroo if needed. The only questions left in my mind are the thicknesses of these pieces..... |

Latex International (LI) Talalay will have a glue seam because their molds are 40" --although I have heard their east coast plant has wider molds. Other manufacturers use different sized molds so you might not see a glue seam. Some people think a core with a glue seam is an inferior product, but LI makes very consistent high quality foam, and the glue seam does not effect the durability or comfort of the core. |

| I purchased 2 - 4.5lb memory foam toppers from Foam By Mail. After using for 1 month they flattened and would not expand. I decided to weigh the mattress and found out it was not 4.5lb foam. I purchased a 3" king pad which is 76"x80"x3" or 10.55 cubic ft. A 4.5lb pad would therefore weigh about 47.5lbs, but my pad weighed about 36lbs. I called and complained and they allowed me to return the pad and even paid for return shipping. Good customer service but it was a real pain to repack the pads. I purchased from Bergad\Isoform and have been pleased. |
