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.

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.

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