What ILD latex is similar to memory foam density for toppers?
| I have an old memory foam topper that I am going to try out tonight to see if it softens my costco latex enough. Problem is, the old topper is queen and I have a king now, and it's too hot. But, if I like the feel of the 1" memory foam, what ILD in latex toppers should I look for? I definately want a softer feel. |

I just went and measured my memory foam. I think I must have had a 1.5 inch topper, because it's more like 3 inches than 2. So I think I will be good with the 3 inch from Costco. At least I can return it if it doesn't work out. I think it will be great for me, just wonder if DH is going to like it too. *sigh* I sleep a little hot on the MF right now, but Ikind of sleep hot on the latex as well. Hormones I guess. This has happened in the last 6 months. I got the current MF from Overstock years ago and don't know what kind it is. I have a 3" costco MF at my cottage and sleep fine on that. I wonder if the MF covers help at all with the heat? I don't have a cover on the MF I am using right now, but there is one on the cottage MF. This message was modified May 6, 2010 by Q119

Yes, the Nutratemp is 3". We have a Dormeir wool mattress pad on top of it. I'm only 107 lb and I don't sink in all that much. So, perhaps those 2 factors help with it not sleeping too warm. But my husband, who weighs more and sinks in more doesn't have any heat issues with it either. A few years back we spent a few nights at a B & B that had a tempurpedic - now that slept HOT - worse 3 nights of my life! I can say the Nutratemp is nothing like that awful experience. The thing about Costco is you can always take it back if it's not working for you. Diane |

| Oops, forgot to mention that the Costco topper off-gasses quite a bit for at least a couple of weeks. |
