I have been sleeping mostly well for 9 months on my all latex mattress. I still find it comfortable and supportive with 3 inches of "medium" (24-28 ILD) natural latex over 8 inches of firmer base latex. However, lately I've been noticing some numbness in my hands and fingers and slight aches in other places. I sleep mostly on my stomach and sides with my arm underneath one side. I'm starting to feel the issues are being caused by the latex "pushing back" as has been described here many times. I previously had a memory foam topper on my old spring mattress and found it comfortable.(gave it away) I'm thinking of trying just 1 inch of the Sensus memory foam from Overstock and was wondering how many others use memory foam over latex and how it may change the "push back" feeling? Sandman, I believe you have the 1 inch Sensus from Overstock but don't know what layer you have it on. Thanks for any observations and comments. ps. I have the wool mattress pad so am not concerned with any heat issues. |

Halogen free? What is that? made with 100% visco elastic polyurethane foam with plant-based non-petroleum polymer substitutes. What? My Sealy was the Truform, that is just like the Tempurpedic (so they said). 5" of memory foam over the regular firm foam. Density allegedly 5lb. memory foam. It was good the first 3 months, then hip pain like never before.
I love the smell of Latex (someone here didn't like it) and hate the smell of memory foam. So want natural if I can get it. Perhaps I need softer than my Brylane Home (Dunlopillo talalay about 18LD so they guess) and the 24ILD natural LI Talalay. I stopped using the Brylane Home topper but now I think I will add it in again. Just like you Sandman it feels so soft and comfy at first 1 hour side sleeping then I wake in hip pain. If I could train myself to sleep on my back I could be okay. I just hate sleeping on my back. This message was modified Sep 23, 2010 by Leo3
