I hereby withdraw and recant all comments about overstock.com. I can't have it both ways.

I am also interested in feedback on Overstock Sensus.  I have owned real Sensus in the past and it is an outstanding product.  If the Overstock is real, I would like to get an inch for myself.  Previously I had 3" but that was too thick for me.  It should be pink and VERY heavy if it is real.

I have 1" of the Sensus from overstock.  It is the only Sensus I have tried, so I have no frame of reference to tell is the real thing or not.   I did measure and weigh it once, and I believe it was at least 5 lbs. density.  It is pink.  It does seem more dense and supportive than the blue type of "cooler" foams they sell at overstock.

I have been happy with it, and use it below a 1" layer of latex.  My one complaint is that it probably does not breathe as well as the cooler foams, so it can potentially cause heat issues.  Using it like I do, under 1" of latex and a wool topper, the heat has not been a problem so far.

This is the best 1" memory foam I have been able to find, but there are not a lot of choices if you only want 1".

Thanks sandman. Did it have much of an odor when you first got it? And, if so, how long before it dissipated?

I think it was kind of strong the first fes days.  I just let it sit out in another room 3-4 to let the odor dissipate.   After I put it under the latex and the wool topper and the mattress pad and the sheets, I did not really notice it much.  I can't remember it bothering me once it was tucked away in the mattress.

One other question: Was it full-cut to the full dimensions of the mattress size, or was it short-cut a few inches shorter? The measurements listed on O's website suggest they short-cut, which I don't care for.

Of course, I can choose a larger size for the same price. But, I would like to be able to get two full-cut Twin XL's from the single King. I may have to order the Cal King just to fit ONE Twin XL's 80" length.

If anything I would say it is cut slightly too large.  I don't remember exact measurements though.  It was not a problem for me.

Ditto, sandman.

 

BTW, I think I might roll the dice and take a chance with the so-called "Venus". After a little more research, it seems that it might be 8lb Aerus (a real product according to the Foamex website, as I mentioned in my Aerus thread), which could explain the blue color and the possible mix-up with 4lb Aerus by their supplier.

If I do take the gamble and try it, I'll definitely post my findings.
