thanks sandman  after  reading your post  i think i won't do it, like you said i may have to end up buying another twin xl  and that cost more buy to seperate then one  queen topper.  and i think iam going with  the latex topper dunlop plush from rocky mountain mattress.   and those wool mattress pads you use  how thick of a mattress will those work for?

OR you can have one type/firmness level of topper on one side, and a different type on the other, so that you have the option of both.

Part of the reasons for my questions about what you were trying to "get to" was because sleeping on the edge of a layer of latex can be very different from sleeping in the middle ... especially in a thinner layer. It is not as supportive on the edge. This would mean that if you only had 1/2 of the bed covered, you would have much less than this even for a "sweet spot".

I know he said 'queen', but my brain was thinking 'king' size bed, sorry.  Yes, that would be too narrow to split, at least for me!

The queen should last longer as well, since it can be rotated.  You are only using half at a time.

If you are referring to the Dormeir mattress protector, the regular skirt is good for up to 13" mattress depth, maybe even 14", but beyond that you need the extra deep skirt that is 24".
