Latex Mattress Cover - Natural or Synthetic- Does it Matter?
|
Like some others on this site, I just ordered the Sleep Science Latex Mattress from Costco. The mattress cover is basically all polyester according to customer service. My question is, although Latex mattresses are not supposed to sleep hot, will the synthetic cover trap in body heat and keep the mattress warm? Does it make sense to spend money on purchasing a cotton (or another natural material) cover? I'm not overly concerned about sleeping on the polyester as I will have my own fitted sheets against my skin. I'm only worried about it holding in the heat. Any thoughts? Thanks |

| personally I think Natura makes a good one, because you can actually machine wash it. they also have a new version of it which actually has a built in water proof membrane right on the back of it and still has the wool quilted on top. there are other good ones out there too. St. Dormier (made by St. Geneve, maker of some of the finest linens in the world) has a non water proof wool pad as well that is also machine washable. |

budgy: In the interest of full disclosure, it would probably be a good idea if you were to tell us exactly what part of the mattress business you are in. We appreciate the input from individuals who have first-hand experience selling mattresses and their associated toppers. But we just need to know, up front, what their positions actually are. So please, give us some background. Thank you. This message was modified Jan 7, 2010 by eagle2

| i am a part owner of a small family business (retail). its just a one store thing for now, we definitely focus on carrying higher end products. we have a small selection of standard coil mattresses from major brands and a fairly large selection of what most stores would consider specialty is actually our bread and butter. we also specialize in very high quality bedding (hand made iron beds, custom fine linens, duvets, etc). For me coming to this forum is like going to any other forum I go to online, mostly to just help out, especially since we are Canadian there are very few products I would actually even be allowed to sell in the US as it would violate dealership agreements with certain brands I carry. By all means though please let me know if I am over-stepping any boundaries, I really don't want to come across as self serving because in reality I probably have nothing to gain here other than valuable insight into peoples frustrations with mainstream companies. |
