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.

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 think probably  too sharp of a contrast.  1" of fairly soft on pretty firm 36 would not work for me either.  2" (folded over) might be interesting, but having something like 20-32ILD in between probably would probably be a good way to go.

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.
