I love everything about my latex bed so far but wish I had a 1.25" soft topper. I love my 1" Overstock Topper but it is not that sturdy and is falling apart and is a little small for the bed. I have been reading about this sale only good until Monday. Those that have the Brylane 1" latex topper, do you think the ILD is softer than the Overstock or the same? What do you think the ILD is? Is it man-made latex, blended latex or natural latex do you think? Do you have any idea if this is Dunlap latex processing, Talalay latex processing or neither? Does the latex topper fit the size of the mattress or is it a little small like the Overstock topper that is a little short on all sides? Does the topper have a smell when it arrives and if it does, how long does it take to go away? IS there one big piece for the Queen or King size or it the topper glued? I am still not sure since it is 1" and not 1.25" or 1.5" but maybe until I have time to call Dave to see if he can find me a softer latex topper than the 1.2" he got me that is wonderful but the 24 ILD seems to squishy to me and I do not sink in enough to feel the very firm support underneath that I love unless I put a 44 ILD under it and then it is too hard but still squishy. Then I go back to my 1" topper with the 36 ILD over the 39 ILD over the 44 ILD and feel this is very comfortable and I can live with this and rather err on the firm side than too soft due to my car accident causing the 5 herniated disks. I really think about a 17 to 20 ILD over a 38 ILD (if there is a 36 ILD that averages higher) over the 39 ILD over the 44 ILD would be best for me in about 1.25" thickness but I doubt if anything like this is made. :) I like that there is only a tiny fee to return it if it is not what I want. I wish the sale was for another week since I want to call Dave first and see if he has any ideas. |

OK, I just ordered the two toppers from Penney's. I found a coupon for free shipping (or 15% off your oder) at: http://www.jcpenney-coupons.com We have a Penney's at the local mall, so it will be easy to return them if they don't work out. |

Kim, Let us know how the new JCPenney toppers feel. They sound perfect except I would be allergic to them. If it wasn't for my allergies to polyurethane, I would try the toppers also. I guess Natura was wrong and the range up to 32 ILD must be wrong also and the softness must be even lower than the 26 ILD since to me it feels just as soft as my very soft Overstock topper. I will try out the topper in a few days. My bed is very firm so 1" of softness may be good. It appears thicker than my Overstock topper and if it is too soft, I will either return it or cut it to be on my shoulders since my hips and back like the bed firmer and my shoulders like a tiny bit of cushion. Please keep us updated. |

I used a 15% off coupon. I couldn't get the free shipping code to work. That would have saved me a buck and some change more. Oh, well. 15% will have to do! I was a bit concerned that the Omalon would be TOO firm. But, I read more about it on the Carpenter website: http://www.carpenter.com/Divisions/bedding_omalon.htm I like where it said it has Superior Surface Softness. As long as that doesn't translate to SINKING it might be okay! I noticed that the sizes are a bit smaller than the actual mattress, though. I ordered a regular King, so I hope it will fit okay. I wish they hadn't replaced our Penney's with a Macy's. Oh well, it will give me an excuse to drive over to the one 30+ miles away. I can always find something fun to exchange it for, I'm sure! ;-) ******************************************************* kimmcgov wrote: OK, I just ordered the two toppers from Penney's.

Someone please tell me if the Brylane EVER comes in a King size? Just looking for a low cost topper that is soft to add to my Dunlop Mattress. The price is good but never a King! Any ideas on a good price on a King sized topper Soft? I bought my sons topper and mattress from Foambymail and I am very happy with that so I may be buying my topper from them, but the Brylane price is good! |

You could just lay them side by side. |

I am trying to paste what I copied from an email I sent myself but it is so difficult to paste anything in this site: Free Shipping at BrylaneHome.com through 2-18-08 Monday using Promo Code PHPRES on orders $39 or more http://www.brylanehome.com/?affiliate_id=020&affiliate_location_id=01&WT.srch=1 |

All by itself the Brylane topper felt pushy rather than cushy--not as relaxing or conducive to sleep--so I put the 1" Overstock memory foam topper over it. On top of the very firm carpeted portion of the bed the combination actually felt very nice. Firmer than my 2" 4lb memory foam topper but more substantial and cradling than the 1" visco alone. But when I moved on to the uncarpeted portion of the bed it was way too soft, and I really don't want to add even more foam to a mattress that already has more than enough soft foam as it is. I ended up taking it off the bed as I suspected I would, but I'm probably keeping it for future mattress reconstruction. I think it will make a nice middle layer sandwiched between a firm HR base layer and a top layer of memory foam. Then again, I've been wrong about Talalay before, so I might just try it out in the guest room on my old extra firm innerspring mattress before the 90 day return window closes. If I can get past 2 nights without the insideous properties of Talalay creeping up on me, then it should be fine. It really is a nice topper for the money. My guess is it falls in the 24-26 range. |
| I am still airing out the Brylane Topper despite it hardly having any smell to begin with. I just know it is a blend so I want to make sure both sides over my banister have time to air out from being in that plastic bag. Now I need someone to help me put in on the bed since I no longer carry anything with weight on it for fear of hurting my back and neck even more so since the car accident. I used to have no problems doing everything myself. I will update everyone in a few days on how it feels compared to my overstock latex soft topper and how it feels over my very firm latex cores. |
| I got my Carpenter Dream Coil topper today. I haven't taken it out of the package yet, but I can see through it. We're going away for the weekend, so I might give it try when we get back. My mattress has been feeling pretty darn good the past few nights, so I hate to mess with it! :) But I am curious to see how this new topper feels. |

I'm still wondering what the ILD on this thing actually is. In the 1" thickness it feels kind of soft and I had it guestimated at 24-26. However, when you double it over, or even triple it so that it approximates a 3" core, it feels much firmer than that. Closer to a 32. I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions. |
