I've had a long disucssion with my daughter about her Sleepez bed. The issue is she is sleeping too hot at night. I have a theory about this, because as I mentioned in my previous Flobed/Sleepez Comparison thread, the Sleepez cover is very thin with very little wool actually quilted to the cover. My Flobed mattress cover is much more luxurious with 2" of wool quilted to the cotton knit on all sides. I think the Sleepez cover does not have enough wool to insulate against the warm tendencies of latex. It's just a theory. The bottom line is, she can't sleep, she's tossing and turning all night, and sweating all night because the mattress is just too hot. So I sat down with her to discuss the options, which are: 1) return the mattress and get something else (not latex); 2) get a wool topper for the bed and see if that will ameliorate the heat issues. We have lots of time left on the 90 day return period, so I would like to see if I can address her heat issue by putting some insulating material between the mattress and my daughter before I go the more drastic route of returning the entire mattress for a refund. I tried searching the site for information about wool toppers, but there is just so much here and I couldn't find any threads that specifically speak to wool toppers. SO. Anyone have a nice quality wool topper they can recommend? Budgy, you are a wealth of information - what do you suggest I can put on the bed to try to address the heat issue?

Kimberly needs no defense, her posts do that for her. But, I just have to throw in my 2 cents here. Kimberly's only motives are to be helpful to those looking for help and share her knowledge and experiences. She has always posted her opinions with the utmost fairness to all. After reading close to all of her 300+ posts in my search for knowledge on this forum I find her to be a great asset to this community and hope to read more from her in the future. That said, I'm glad you are happy with your Sleepez, and hope you have the same experience with your next one. This message was modified May 6, 2010 by Natalia

| Natalie, I agree that Kimberly is like me and wants to help others since they helped her when she was searching for a bed. I enjoy helping others. I know when I was choosing paint colors for my home, so many people on the decorating forum, gave me their opinions and cared so I still post and try to help others to give back what I felt they gave to me which was the support i needed. I do the same to this sight always giving my honest opinion just like Kimberly does to help others and also sometimes she just needs additional advice. |
| Seems like *someone* on this thread has ulterior motives...;) |
| Electracat, maybe he is trying to get a discount on a second SleepEZ bed? |
| *Chuckle*! |

http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/ I used to just go into the decorating forum until someone told me about the paint forum, the kitchen forum, the flooring forum and then I realized their are so many forums with so many helpful people sharing pictures of the changes they have made to their homes giving me ideas. The forums helped me pick out floors for my home office and family room, learn to use a gel stain to make my kitchen cabinets not look worn out, helped me pick out bedroom furniture, help me realize that Bone White is a warm color for the walls since I was so used to white walls that I was afraid to go much darker, helped me pick out lamps for my bedroom, and helped me pick out the tiles for my foyer. One poster even privately wrote me to call and he would help me learn how to clean the tiles since the tile guy did not take the white film off of the porcelain tiles that I had him install with Spectalock grout. Two of my clients told me about the FloBeds and the Decorating forum told me about this website and had a post on latex beds before I made a decision. If my older posts are still there on the archived forums, other can read about my dilemma. Kimberly, I think you would enjoy the forums. Let me know what you think. others can visit also. By the way the laundry forum helped me realize my dryer was not drying due to the long vent in the attic that was clogged. So many nice people in the world to make up for the ones that are not so nice.

| Is this the washable Natura wool topper you were referring to? Looks like pretty good prices on this web site. |
| I'm also interested in knowing more about the wool toppers/pads. I may end up going with the SleepEZ knowing I have the option to add another comfort layer like this if I need to. |
