I'm curious. Am I the only person going through this with the DIY latex bedding? It feels awesome and gelatinous without covering. But as soon as I add sheets the latex becomes as stiff as a board. I have a 3" medium layer on top of two 3" extra firm layers. It's driving me crazy!! Is it an issue with the latex not being able to breathe? I spent quite a bit of money so far. And I know the latex is fine because it sleeps wonderfully without any covering. Just trying to make sure this isn't all in my head.

Gosh I did not know that!!  My pilllowtop mattress has a top layer of talalay latex and it gets as hard as a board after awhile.  It felt different after I put a mattress pad  on it which is fitted.   What do you use for a mattress pad because they are usually fitted?
