Our TP Bellafina split king matts finally arrived. (Two twin XL's) They make a much better visual match with the TP Ergo foundation we were using than the Vera Wang matts we returned. And, they feel great so far. Granted, we only laid on them for about twenty minutes. But, we are pretty happy.
However, the proof is in the sleeping, as they say. So, I'll report back after our first full night, and then again at a few intervals. This message was modified Jun 8, 2010 by garypen

I personally thought the Rhapsody was firmer. But, it should be with that layer of 7lb HD foam on top. I also felt it had much more of that MF feeling of slowly sinking in as it warmed up. The 3 TP models I liked were th Rhapsody, Bellafina, and Deluxe, listed in order from firm to soft. I didn't care for any of the lower models than the Deluxe, or the Clouds, as they were to soft for me. I also didn't care for the Celebrity, which was too sink-y for me. I don't think I tried the Allure. But, theoretically, it seems like I would probably have liked it based on my like of the Rhapsody. |

Update: Tried it with a 1" Latex soft topper last night. It was kinda nice. It reminded me a little of the Vera Wang I had for a few weeks. I slept fairly well. I didn't sleep non-stop until morning. But, I did like the way it felt. I did have a touch of neck pain in the morning, which I still chalk up to less-than-perfect pillow usage. (I should be receiving my Sensus neck pillow on Mon or Tues.) There were a couple three negatives: It seemed kinda warm. I never felt warm from the TP memory foam. But, this latex seemed to make me feel warmer. I will try it for a few nights, maybe alternating without it, to see if it truly was the latex that was making me feel that way. If so, it'll have to go. I cannot stand feeling hot when sleeping. I lost some of the direct feeling of the TP foam. Not the worst thing in the world, as I'm not a huge fan of the deep sinking. But, I do like a light form-fitting feeling. And, the Bellafina never had that deep sinking feeling to begin with. It makes my half of the bed an inch higher than my wife's half. Since she is very happy with the mattress, as it is, it might be difficult to convince her to put something on her side to raise it an inch. The only possibility I can think of is maybe an inch of Sensus or even trying an inch of the so-called fake Venus from Overstock. If it turns out to be real 8lb foam, she'd probably like it, as it would approximate the feel of the TP HD foam of the Rhapsody, which she liked at the store. |
