Latex, sleeps hotter than foam
|
My expereience is all the foam beds i have had i have had no issue at all with it sleeping warmer the latex bed instantly I can feel it my question is for those of you who have had your latex bed during warm times, did you notice it feeling warm against the body? i know i am not imagining it, so just wondered what others have to say...i have no allegiance whatsoever to any type of mattress of company that sells them, I just say what I experience whether it is a $4000 tempurpedic or $800 costco and am looking for those who also have no reason to feel an allegiance to any one type etc... hope that didnt sound obnoxious, but when on the web we cannot know exactly who we are dealing with or, for that matter, who our hosts are and what their interests are... |

I remember reading wome where that dunlop latex sleeps hotter than talalay. I believe it is denser and does not breath as much. That may be an issue with your Costco all dunlop mattress. I do find that talalay latex heats up. With a wool topper and being winter it is not a problem. Not sure what summer will bring. I have not found much difference between the talalay and the more breathable memory foams at the top layer. Sensus (less breathable) did seem hotter when I tried it, but that was a while ago. |

I have come to decide that my talalay latex mattress sleeps warm, but not hot. That is to say, after I've been sleeping in it, I feel comfortably warm. However I don't feel that I "sleep hot" in it. I agree, the denser Dunlop latex may be warmer than the Talalay latex. It logically makes sense that that would be the case. |

I don't know because I have been sleeping on foam for years, so maybe I've just gotten used to it being hot in the summer. I thought it was just the hotter weather, not the foam but who knows, maybe it's the foam? I do know that sometimes I get really hot in the summer. However, having slept on every type of foam known to man (  ), I have not noticed one being hotter than another.UPDATE: Thursday, February 25, 2010 I take the above statement back. I put the Dunlop 1.75" Medium (-Firm) on my mattress the last 2 nights and I noticed it sleeping noticeably hotter; that is, unless it was just coincidence. But I think not. Last night I added wool and it still felt hotter than before with just the Talalay. It's hard to say for SURE, but if I had to guess I'd say the Dunlop does add heat to the mattress, more so than the Talalay. This message was modified Feb 25, 2010 by jimsocal
