There was a thread about Overstock and in it there was a mention that somebody bought the Sensus and thought it was nice. So I gave it a try. I ordered the 1" Sensus king. As a background I have owned authentic Sensus in the past, but in 3" thickness. In my opinion, the Sensus seems real. Also, the size seems correct for a king bed, not undersized like the website description states. Although I haven't measured it, but it is laying on top of my king bed and it does not look small. I haven't slept on it yet. There is an odor, but with the window open it seems to be disappating. I'll check on it later. I just thought that I would share my experience. |

Thanks for the advice. But, I'm pretty sure latex pillows are not in my future, based upon the three I have already tried. And, actually, my wife kinda likes this "Sensus" pillow. So, I may just swap with her TP. But, I will probably have to raise it a hair by adding a layer of foam to the bottom. But, first, I will try sleeping on it tonight, now that it's aired out, and lost most of its odor. It may be good enough. This message was modified Jun 30, 2010 by garypen

1" of Sensus directly on the 36 ILD latex was not as nice. I'm going to try folding over and seeing how 2" feels tonight. garypen, I was referring to the 1" layer you need for your mattress, not your pillow choice in the prior post. |
| I can see where 1" of Sensus above 36 ILD latex may not feel so good. Our configuration was bought when Mark (Batman) was still associated with memoryfoam.com. We started with 3" 36 ILD talalay, 3" 28 ILD talalay, and 3" Sensus. After about a year I decided it should be firmer so we purchased a 3" 44 ILD talalay and that made a big difference in giving the bed more firmness and stability while retaining the excellent comfort. My wife and I are not on the lighter side. I don't know your weight or particular sleep preferences, but I would think that a transition from a 1" Sensus comfort layer to a 36 ILD latex layer might not be the most comfortable. Hopefully 2" of Sensus will make a nice difference. |

Sorry, I misunderstood and thought you were commenting on the Sensus pillow I had described. Actually, I already have a 1" soft talalay latex topper on my side of the bed. (That's on top of a TP Bellafina mattress, which is 3" of 5lb tempur MF over 3" of "tempur-flex" latex over 4" of firm PU.) It's OK. I was thinking of trying an inch of MF instead. |

I purchased my original 3" Sensus from Batman also. The 2" folded over on the 36 ILD was not good either. So I have determined that Sensus feels best when used above a medium ILD layer. Of the two mediums I have, one is 32 ILD and one is about 26 ILD I think the 1" felt better over the 26 ILD. I'll go back to that configuration tonight. |
