Flobeds versus Sleepez - convoluted topper?

I'm researching a latex mattress purchase, and of course two of the big choices for me are flobeds and sleepez. The important difference between them (aside from varyations in the exchange policies) is that flobeds uses a 2 inch convoluted topper whereas sleepez doesn't. Also flobeds has a 1 inch wool cover, but I'm not sure how important that is.

I'm interested to hear what the folks here think of a topper, or convoluted topper, on top of a latex mattress, versus not having one. Thoughts? Also, am I missing any other important difference between flobeds and sleepez mattresses?

Thanks

.... It is mostly polyurethane, and tiny tiny part latex.

Ah you're right. Good call.

I was reading old posts and the convoluted latex is perhaps too soft. Maybe a soft latex that is not convoluted that is 1-2" might be all you need. I am looking into that myself for on top of my spring mattress.

Well I guess the whole topic is a moot point for me now. I ordered a Sleep EZ 10000 yesterday :) Will report back.

Let us know how you like the mattress, and if you ordered a 1-2" topper to soften it up. It sounds like you may have to. Who knows? Good luck. What densities did you order?

I didn't order a topper immediately - I'm just leaving that open as an option in case we can't get the mattress to work out as is (most customers don't need to make additional changes, so we're hoping that things will work out).

As for the firmnesses, I ordered split soft, medium firm layers for myself and my wife who weigh 145 and 130 respectively.
