Hi All ! 

I would appreciate any and all feedback.  Here is my Story:  Bought a extra firm board....oops...mattress from Beauty Rest...Black label.  My husband got sick of the pillow tops divoting out ....so we got this mattress with the understanding that I could get a topper as I need support around my body.  I am 5'10" and 140 pounds.....he is taller and can sleep on anything....so this post is about ME .

I purchased a Costco memory foam 3" topper to go over the mattress.  I have been in pain ...hips and shoulders....since.

I called Sleepez and talked to a really great informative guy.  He said the memory topper was not helping me as I am to skinny  to generate the heat needed to get "into" the foam and it is like nothing on top of the mattress.  Plus my body temp is very low anyway.

I first thought take a 1" latex topper and put over the Memory foam topper...but he said.....it wouldnt work.....not enough weight or body heat.

So he suggested return the Costco topper...which I can do.  Buy a 3" 19 - 20ILD  Tallaly topper.

So does this make sense?  Is Sleep Ez a good company?  They are a little more expensive...they will take returns.

He said Blended feels the same as all rubber.

I just dont want to make a mistake...too expensive and a hassel

Hope to hear from folks...all advice and opinions are very welcome.  THANKS!!

Jimsocal......the 1 medium and 1 soft sounds like a good idea.....I will ask the sleepez guy.  Yesterday he told me there were returns ....but I will check again...Thanks!

Kait   When we bought the bed.....after the first night I knew I couldn't sleep on it.  Went to Costco and got a 3" viscos (sp) topper.....it wasn't quite as bad....but two months later...I cant sleep through the night because my hips hurt so badly...in fact I am wondering if the mattress and hip deal is what is causing my knees to hurt as well.

It looks like I am down to Sleep like a Bear and SleepEz....I am going to check Rocky mountain as well.

I think the vendor is the easiest part...its this darn ILD.

Also,  I think the blended Talalay...I'm pretty sure the  Dunlop (sp) is not for me.

I usually like researching things...but wow!!....this is something else. ..your'e comments really really help

Thanks Guys!
