Convoluted Latex Foam Mattress Topper to fight hot spots? - inviting comments
|
Not sure where to post this... Does anyone here sleep on a convoluted Latex Mattress Topper? I can't do Tempur-pedic - as I feel like it reflects too much heat back in spots and it wakes me up in the night. I don't feel too warm anywhere else, just in those hot spots - but I have to move to a cool spot and that goes on every little bit. Had a plush Serta Blissful Dream II from Great Indoors with convoluted latex and something else called Kool Komfort foam that I loved - but after 18 months it sagged and got impressions that were permanent. A high-end Sterns & Foster with individually wrapped coils felt like it built up heat and reflected it back - just in the spot where my shoulders and back are. I have also tried sleeping on a totally organic wool mattress topper (hot spots there too). So - it's a dilemma. Foam made out of petroleum ends up feeling like sleeping on plastic (to me). If I ever go to a hotel with one of those protective pads (synthetic?) under the mattress pad, it feels like plastic and I can't sleep on it. So I'm looking for something that feels "breathable" and does not do the heat-reflecting thing. I use a 100% cotton mattress pad and 100% cotton jersey sheets. I like the feel of egg-crate or convoluted. If I can just get the breathable thing figured out, I'll be fine. Comments welcome. Thanks in advance. This message was modified Mar 14, 2009 by BedSaga

Convoluted latex topper sounds interesting...how thick is it, do you know the density, and where did you get it? I'm thinking about replacing the 4" of foam in the top of my mattress with some combination of latex/venus memory foam...I think 4" altogether. I did not like a latex topper we had in the past as it was very boingy...but I believe latex is different types and feels... Thanks, Kait |

Hi there Here's where I ended up: http://greenmattresses.com/mattress-toppers.htm Funny, with the covering on it and the wool sewn into the cotton cover, I'm having a hard time telling what's convoluted. This cover is not zippered, so I can't peak inside. Seems comfortable, nevertheless - but your mileage may vary. I think the one we got is described as Dunlop medium - but I didn't know much about the numbers (ILD ?) back then. Also, they said that it being convoluted softens it up some compared to the same thing without the convoluted shape. I know that I like things that feel pretty soft, plush, or whatever. I now know after going to a showroom that if ever I got latex slabs, I would want super-soft Talalay ILD 22 over super-soft Talalay 22. Or softer! :) Hope it helps. Kindest regards |
