Hi.

I just got my 1 inch "Venus" 8lb topper from O-stock.  I thought I was getting such a great deal:

$180 for what would otherwise cost $420, for a Foamex Venus topper...

But - when I opened it, I saw that it is light blue in color.  The Sleepwarehouse website clearly states that their Venus foam's color is:

"Foamex trademark red."

So, what have I got here?  I did weigh it, and calculated its density at 7.795 lbs/cubic foot, which is close to the 8lbs of Venus.

So now I have to decide whether to return it or not.  Do you think it is a knockoff brand of 8lb foam and they just called it "Venus" to trick me into thinking it was a deal?  (Which worked.)  Also, The O-stock website for this item shows a photo of a pink topper, which further convinced me that this was the real deal...

There's no way this is real Foamex foam, right?

HI.  I can't give a review because I don't really sleep on it yet.  So far I have a project on the dining room floor and

 I am slowly adding to it as time goes on.  So far I have an E. King sized 3 inch layer of latex (natural, dunlop, 48 ILD) and on top of

 that I have the 1 inch Overstock 8 lb memory foam. 

I am trying to decide what to buy next. 

I'll let you know how it goes...
