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

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 |
