hi,
i'm new to buying a mattress, and i may just have to put two twins together for a while--until we have more $!--but can someone educate me as to mattresses without motion transfer? I'm excessively sensitive to movement, and can't sleep in the same bed as my boyfriend as of a year ago! i've heard that Beautyrest and latex mattresses have no motion...We're looking for something inexpensive yet comfortable. Does this exist? Thank you!!

HR stands for high resiliency. A higher grade of PU foam that resists compression and lasts much longer than standard low density PU foam. HR is available in many ILDs from soft to super firm so you can achieve a customized level of support and comfort.

what thickness would the base layer need to be, and what brand would you recommend? Thanks so much!

Ok, now i feel that i'm more 'educated' in mattress speak, but thank you, Cloud9, for the initiation!

While reading over this post, i wondered: Would a memory foam topper make a difference in motion transfer (over a HR foam base), or will HR foam or latex topper be fine?

And--if our room reaches 60 degrees (*maybe* a little warmer) at night, is that too warm for MF?
