OK, I know this has been discussed, but when I type in a search, over 100 pages come up, so please bear with me.

How is Sleep Like A Bear's reputation? I am looking to get a latex topper and SLAB has higher prices but will accept returns. RMM doesn't accept returns on toppers, but their prices are a little better.

Also, I am looking to soften my latex mattress just a little. Would a 1" topper suffice? This is all so confusing, and costly, so I want to make sure I'm getting the best products.

I'd go with no more than 1.5" to start, then add another inch or so if necessary.

Jimsocal....I think that Q119's weight and the softness that they're trying to achieve would play into how thick the topper needs to be.

I my own case unless the topper was very very firm my 250+ lbs crushed anything in the 1" thick version so that it was as if I wasn't using anything.

A little more info..I weigh 130, DH is 230. He thinks the bed is perfect, I feel it's too firm for me.

I tried to lay on my old queen 1" memory foam topper to see if that helped, but I didn't like it. Still not comfortable and I had some back pain. The next night I folded it in half and slept on 2" of memory foam and I slept the best I have since getting the new mattress. DH tried it last night and said it was OK, so I might try a 2" soft twin XL from Foam By Mail for me and a 2" medium twin XL for DH. I don't want to get another MF topper because it is way too hot for me.

I actually might try to go to the Foam By Mail store - it's about an hour from me - and see what they have before I buy. Does anyone know where in Europe they are getting their latex?
