jiggly latex helped by mattress cover?
|
Two weeks ago I purchased two foam by mail pieces (6" medium core and 3" soft topper). I like the bed, I've been sleeping well. But I don't like the feel of the bed - it feels awfully jiggly. I'm considering getting a cotton and wool cover from sleeplikeabear or sleepez. Does anybody have any experience with latex uncovered AND covered? Does it make the bed feel less - for lack of a better word - jiggly. I've also considered that the jiggly-ness might be coming from the lack of a firm layer. Thoughts? Thanks for the help! |

I agree that a latex mattress should probably have as minimal a top material as is possible and still have good comfort. My FlowBeds has an excellent mattress cover. I find it quite comfortable and I have no" jiggle" from my latex. Now I am using some fairly firm layers. If I were to have all medium and soft cores possibly I would feel some "jiggle". But by using principally firm and extra firm layers I am getting very good support from my mattress, I wake up refreshed after a very good nights sleep. There's little more that I could ask from my mattress I have to agree that the cover is going to effect the final feel of the mattress, but Talalay is still going to be jiggly and it doesn't matter how firm it is. In fact, I found that softer latex allowed you to sink in a bit and nestle into the foam. Lying on firm Talalay was like trying to sleep on a rubber tire. I just felt like I was bouncing around all over the surface, and I think this is what Cardamoms is experiencing. Since she is sleeping well on her mattress it's probably more a matter of getting used to it than resolving a support issue, but she really should put some kind of cover over the mattress, even if it's just a standard polyfil mattress pad. |

| i don't find talalay to be that jiggly once it's stuffed nice and tightly into some kind of cover (or in my case, until the FBM terry cover comes, a tight fitted sheet). when i was trying out dunlop from savvy rest at my local store, it also seemed jiggly when the cover wasn't zipped up. but that's just my experience. |
