The latex bounces, how wil then provide pressure relief and support?

 May be some support but pressure relief - I don't think so.

So latex does not work.

Also latex is Not comfortable since it has bounce and PUSHBACK.

But I am back to comment on this Latex thread.

First, hardly anyone seems to mention that the Latex seems to sleep HOT.  I know, I know, it's not supposed to...only Memory Foam is hot.                                                                     But I am absolutely convinced that our new S&F  Latex bed is much warmer than previous, old mattress.  True, it has a pillowtop -- and I suspect that is part of the problem.                 But I also think the Latex itself is an issue -- it doesn't breathe.   What do the experts/salespeople have to say about this?  Better yet, what do actual buyers have to say?            Because I don't trust anyone in the industry.

I also think the Latex gives that "pushback" sensation that has been mentioned here several times.  In that regard, it is not comfortable.

I am on the verge of exchanging our current bed for the non-pillowtop version OR returning it and buying a non-latex model of some sort.

But this is a real dilemma -- finding a bed (that doesn't cost a fortune) that is COOL and doesn't PUSH BACK!


This is because very few people that sleep on a true latex mattress (with no polyurethane foam) find them to sleep hot.  Read the law label on your S & F pillowtop...there is polyurethane foam in that mattress....this is more than likely what is actually causing you the issues you are experiencing.

Hey Joed --
I hope you get this message, several years since the last post. I'm curious if you ever found a good solution. Your experience on latex sounds exactly like mine. Pretty frustrating after spending over $4000 for two twin XL latex beds, followed by a couple of expensive latex toppers hoping to fix the problem.
