Newbie here... which topper process is cooler to sleep on? Talalay or Dunlop? Background: as an already sleep-deprived buyer of an over-firm and hot queen matt (816-coil, 13 gauge), I realized my error only to find I cannot return it. Hence, the topper dilemma. I am 5'2, 125 lbs, with spinal arthritis. I sleep too hot, so memory foam is out. Latex was recommended, but with all the confusion around the two latex processes — add the frustration about the actual purity of material of each of these overpriced toppers, I ask you: Which type of latex topper is ultimately cooler? Btw, coolness takes precedence, slightly, over perfect comfort, 'cause if I sleep too warm, and I mean, 'stinging-hot-to-my-skin-and-sweaty' hot, no amount of cush is gonna help. Here's a link, however biased it might be, that leans towards talalay for comfort and durability, but nothing addresses the "coolness factor." http://www.flobeds.com/TalalayVsDunlop.htm |

Thank you, @st3v3krhn, and @Relaxo, et al. I had a feeling the topper would need a 'topper,' or to just go with wool instead. * Sigh* I've even seen combos of latex and wool at $700+. : 0 In the short time since I posted, I have gotten completely convincing — and conflicting — answers, from the mfgrs regarding durability, comfort, etc. But all agree that while the heat factor is there somewhat, a cotton or wool pad/topper is needed. : ( I'll look into the wool topper sans latex, but those are expensive too ! Again, thanks ! |

Not a prob, I am always looking for ways to keep cool as well. Keep on eye on my ultimate breathability thread: http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/ultimate-breathabilty-featherbed-topper-st-geneve-wool-cover/14504-0-1.html Should *hopefully* be delivered this week... |
