Memory foam over latex.....my mattress keeps getting thicker!
|
So here is my latest quest for the perfect mattress! I think someone wiser than me on this forum once said that if you are 90% happy it's best to stop there and be thankful. Too bad I don't listen. I now am trying 1 inch of Sensus memory foam over my latex mattress. The Sensus came from Overstock today and was in excellent condition....no complaints. It measures just a bit over what they specify in their ad....about 58 X 79 for the Queen size. It's a little smaller than my 3 inch top layer of latex but not enough to worry about. It arrived in 10 days (which included 2 weekends). I now have from bottom up: 8.5 inch encased Gardner Latex mattress ( 6 inch 40 ILD, 2.5 inch 32 ILD) 3 inch uncovered "medium" (24-28 ILD) natural talalay latex from FoamSweetFoam 1 inch Sensus 5 lb memory foam from Overstock Washable wool and cotton mattress protector from Natura
The memory foam is to relieve a bit of the "push back" from the latex. Will report the results in a day or two.
PS. Have photos but don't know how to insert them directly into this message ??? (not a URL link)

Mark I hope it continues to be a winner for you. I hate to sound negative  but every time I thought after a week I had a great setup and comfy I found after I changed the sheets it changed everything again back to being uncomfortable. If you pull the sheet to tight, or the mattress pad to tight. Hopefully it will stay good. It might be just a change after a week feels good, then not so much (for me it seems that way). |

| Had a similar idea, to replace the 2" convolute with memory foam. Is there such a thing as a "breathable" memory foam? I'm a hot sleeper. |

| Luke, the Natura washable wool mattress pad is very nice but some say not quite as nice as the Dormeir washable wool pad. The Natura has some heavy stitching lines that might bother some very sensitive types...not a problem for me. Also, I believe the Dormeir pad has stretchy elastic type sides while the Natura is all cotton with an elastic band around the bottom edge. I think they both perform about the same as far as temperature control and moisture wicking. I noticed a difference from the polyester pad I had been using. I found the best price online at "The Clean Bedroom" web site. |
