As an experiment, I took of the 1.5" (seems more like 1") wool topper I have to see if I could feel the foam more. I left on the wool filled mattress pad. There was a definite difference. I could feel the body molding of the memory foam a bit more, but I also felt like I was sinking in more (too much) and it also felt a bit warmer. I even had a twinge of lower back pain. At 2am I put the topper back on, and slept better. A bit deader feel, but firmer and cooler. I am fairly convinved this is a real phenomenom. I have done this once or twice before with similiar results. Possibly because the memory foam does not heat up as much? Or because the topper pulls tight? Still can't explain it. So, adding a wool topper (at least my version) might help those trying to firm up a mattress a bit with the bonus of making it more breathable. As a further experiment, I might trying moving it down the stack a couple of inches (below the memory foam and above the latex) to see what that is like. My guess is that it will be somewhere in between. This message was modified Oct 11, 2010 by sandman

| It's amazing what you can find out about a mattress (In this case the sleep comfort multi zone) through a patent application. It's also interesting what people patent in an effort to stop what would otherwise be fairly easy to duplicate. |

Leo3, I believe RMM only has the 4lb Aerus. I decided that I wanted the 5lb. The only place I have seen it is on Amazon and at Sam's club. You are right that you have to have a Sam's club membership. However, I think you can cancel the membership and get your many back (all or prorata depending on how long you keep it). I don't actually shop there, because the closest is probably 15 miles. I am a bigger fan of Costco. Still, it is cheaper at Sam's if you add in the membership ($40) and I believe they have a 100% return policy. Phoenix, I can see that they would use the Nuform at a lower level. It does not push back like regular latex, but has support. However, as I said a bit too firm and clay like for me (you end up in a rut) on the top level. I did kind of like it below the convoluted Flobed topper, but was not sure how to integrate into the whole mattress. |

I moved the wool topper below the 2" of memory foam last night. That was firmer than with no topper at all, but less firm than with the topper on top. No real surprise there. It was better than with no topper at all (less sinking in too much). I could feel the memory foam plushness better. No surprise there either. It seemed warmer than with the topper on top. No real surprise there either. However, the last few nights have been warmer than average, so that is a contributing factor. I think I will try without the 1" Sensus and without the wool topper. Less heat causing foam, less memory foam (so firmer), but less firmness from topper as well. |
