I just purchased a 3 inch latex topper to add to my 8 inch latex mattress. The original mattress is sealed in a nice wool/cotton cover but my topper is loose over this mattress. I covered the latex topper with an old fitted sheet, then a stretch cotton/polyester mattress pad, then the fitted bottom sheet. I chose to order the topper without a cover to avoid the "slip" factor. The latex sits on a non slip mat on top of the original mattress and so far has not moved at all. My question is---is this setup the best I can do or is there another suggestion? I hate wasting the nice wool/cotton cover on my original mattress but it is not removable. Would I gain anything by buying another cover to surround the entire 11 inches of latex in one unit? Thanks for any replies. |
Jim, good suggestion, I'll look into it when I feel like spending any more money on this bed...haha. Eagle, excellent point! I agree totally about not seeking the elusive 100% satisfaction, but I was asking more of a physical cover question than a comfort question. So far, after 4 nights on my medium 100% natural latex topper I am very satisfied with the comfort. Time will tell if my back starts hurting or something else unexpected happens, but so far so good. But, I know that covers and pads can sometimes also effect the comfort level, so I guess we have to be careful. |
