I know Amazon has us all spoiled, but I ordered a latex topper from SLAB last week and they sent me an email today saying the topper is expected to ship on 5/18. If they'd told me at the time I placed the order that it was out of stock I probably would have ordered elsewhere.

I got the 2" blended talalay in #28. No seams in my queen size topper. The 28 feels springy, but supportive and not unbearably hard. If feels great sleeping on my back. A bit less so on my side. It is very easy to turn from one position to another (unlike memory foam). I'm going to add something to the top to give it a softer, more luxurious feel, but I'm not sure what. I'll probably try a wool mattress cover/pad before I decide if I also want a 1" layer of softer latex.

Sandman, I think you are right, the 19ILD will probably be a better thing for me to buy than the 14ILD that was recommended to me some time ago by a mattress expert. The 14 might just be too squishy. I actually like the Sensus from Ostock better than the Fake Venus I got there. Unfortunately I made the mistake of buying the Sensus in 2" thickness and that is just too much memory foam for me. I have yet to try to return my fake Venus like some did. I just "know" it's going to be a big hassle so am reluctant to get involved. But if I did, I could order 1" of Sensus instead. My other option is to see if the local foam warehouse where I used to get my HR foam cut from big giant cubes of foam, might be able to cut the Sensus 2" into 2 x 1" for me. They do sell memory foam there, but then again, cutting 2" of memory foam into 1" seems like it might be difficult even for them with their special foam cutting machines. I am really wanting to try a 19ILD latex now from SLAB. But I am also afraid that it will just be another disappointment and I'll end up with another piece of useless foam in our already cramped-for-storage-space apartment! |

| I weight 170. Underneath is a S&F intellicoil along with foam layer to protect the springs and a zoned piece of memory foam. I did a mattress surgery which I consider very successful. I plan to make a complete post of the process in the next couple of weeks when I have time. |
