Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to configure my 'perfect' supportive-yet-soft bed. So today while looking at firm pocketed-coil innersprings to put a nice topper on, I checked out a Simmons Comforpedic they had. I've been leaning toward going with latex foam because I don't like the slow response of memory foam - makes rolling over a chore. But once I'm in position on a memory foam top, I do really like the stability, comfort and support. But this Comforpedic bed fealt like a combo of latex & memory foam. It was quicker acting like latex, but not quite as 'bouncy' or active. It was a bit more stable and supportive like memory foam, but not as firm (especially before you heat it up). - So does anyone know what that 'really' is from a technical standpoint? - Is it something like this 4lb Aerus 'breathable' memory foam? - Or should I think about combining thinner layers of both memory foam and latex (I had been leaning toward a 3" topper, whether latex or memory)?
Thanks. I know with most configurations I might end up going with, there's no way to test it ahead of time (mattress stores don't carry toppers). So I'm flying blind. But I have to admit, at least in a few minutes of trial, I did like the feeling of this. |

Cloud is not hard to roll over on (maybe Luxe since it's a lot of memory foam). It's ES at surface. Quicker responding. 3) I wouldn't mind trying Comforpedic, but that's probably years down the road after this TP 4) Some beds have latex and memory foam and more. They're always trying to make new beds which is good. 5) That's why probably don't want to buy a bed, then a topper, cause if don't like it, have more variables to deal with - is mattress not so good, or the topper?. I think it's better to get best bed that is returnable. If really don't like it, return and try again. Not that returns are cool, but it happens. This message was modified Oct 4, 2011 by slpngoc
