Hi folks, I am wondering if I need to give 2 inches of sensus on top of firm mattress a try. Has anyone bought 2" toppers from either overstock... foambymail.... or someone else that you are really happy with for some length of time? On top of a firm mattress? I tend to see comments that folks love MF or tempur beds for a (short) while and then either the product or the body... "fails." Over the past couple of years, I have tried mostly latex from 1" to 6 inches in combos of 1" and 2 inch layers, and feel that the push back is not accomodating my spine. I did include 1 " of "eco green latex 4 lb memory foam.. which I have folded to test 2 inches, and a 1 inch sensus 5 slb piece.. both from overstock. The "sensus" one inch did not accommodate much... felt firmer than the 2 inch sensus I tried several years ago. The two layers of 1 inch sensus did not feel anything like the 2 inch slab previously. the 2 inch was firm but accommodating.. but the new stuff was just "firm". The only thing I can half sleep on right now is 1 inch, 4 lb memory over 1 inch of either 14 or 20 ILD latex.. over that rock hard mattress. However, the 4 lb starts out feeling great.. but by the time I wake up in the morning.. it seems to have gone flat like an air mattress. But earlier in my quest, a few years ago I tried 2 inches of Sensus on an older softer pillowtop mattress, and for about a month it felt like a great improvement. Then it got warm.. I got hot... and I started not liking the being in a hole.. hard to turn (I am a flipper).... etc. The problem could be the lack of support of the memory foam slab.. and I am (probably dreaming) that 2" on very firm bed (now) might work? They say you are crazy when you do the same things that didn't work (try another 2 inch mem foam) and expect a different outcome. I am telling myself it is different ( 2 inch piece, maybe different supplier.. and the physics of single piece) but am I just crazy to think of this? I am not Thomas Edison and am tiring of the 10,000 failures. Thanks, shovel99 |

I too have put a folded towel between the Ikea box spring and the pocket mattress in my twin experimental mattress and could feel a little extra support. That said, my 3 lb MF still has to go.
Just remembered why I removed the towel. I was starting to wake up on the cusp of heartburn. Seemed the slight elevation (and slight it was only being a towel) at the ribcage area was making my stomach higher than my esophagus resulting in reflux - law of unintended consequences at play - see how complicated this can get This message was modified Sep 2, 2010 by DianeK
