Mattress Forum

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."

ps: tip for the day: never buy a mattress when you're sleep deprived. Much like grocery shopping when you're hungry!
