| Seems to be a lot of chatter regarding heat issues w/ foam beds. I am 6'1" 235 lb with an arthritic knee and sweat excesively due to a medical condition and my wife is 5'6" and 135 lb w/ a bad back (no sweat issues). We both sleep on our side. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. |

Still in very good shape, I just couldn't stand it anymore. There are a lot of newer foams out there, which are designed to disspiate heat more, and give you less of a "sinking" feeling when you sleep on them, and they rebound faster. A friend of mine bought the NutraTemp bed @ CostCo, and it seems very different. I wouldn't say it feels like Latex, but it doesn't feel much like my Carpenter foam felt, either. I've also seen a few different ads for foams that are mixed with Latex, instead of synthetic polymers, to make memory foam (perhaps that is the case with NutraTemp, I don't know.) Anyway, my comments about "sleeping on a heating pad" were in regard to the traditional style of memory foam, not the newer types. This message was modified Apr 24, 2010 by doubtingthomas
