What topper layering has been working for you now?
|
I have read past postings and some of you use to like a topper, and then decided later you didn't care for it. Can we update on what topper layers you are using and what is covering those layers? Particularly I am interested in padding my hip area. If you could list what particular "ailment" you are addressing. It seems like mostly people have back problems I have been reading here. Thanks to anyone who responds. It gets so confusing to try to figure out what is working for someone. I couldn't remember who liked the Brylane toppers and who didn't. I am one who is "trying to like it" but I either need something else on top or it is not for me. I have 2" of the latex. The 1" layer on the bottom is not as soft, and the one on top is soft. It seems like such a nice soft good quality topper, why the heck can't I get it right? It is when I put a mattress cover or all cotton sheet on top it changes the softness to hardness! I am going to try a Carpenter 5 zone polyurethane topper as soon as it airs out, over the latex. This message was modified Jun 18, 2008 by Leo3

Yes, my Dream Coil Omalon topper has zoning. I'm not sure it really makes a huge difference in a readymade topper. I was thinking more about the individual foam layers in different ILDs that you can customize. We all sink in to a point. Naturally, the heavier we are, the more sinking we'll do. I can stand to lose weight, so I probably make more of an impression than someone like Lynn wno weighs under 100 lbs. As for getting impressions on me from the CuddleBed stitched squares? Never. I love the puffiness and subtle billowy feel. But, I don't feel any wrinkles or stitching whatsoever. Leo3 wrote: Jim was the only one I read about making his own zoning. The cheap PU topper I have has so called zoning in it and it didn't help at all. Does that topper of yours have zoning?<BR><BR>My shoulder is better today, maybe I just slept wrong for a few nights, I truly am tired of changing things around.<BR><BR>You don't sink in at all with your mattress do you? I do sink in now (which is what I need with my hip) so I get impressions on me from from the stitching from the mattress pad. Guess I weigh more than you so I press into those stitches and wrinkles  |

I love the puffiness and subtle billowy feel. But, I don't feel any wrinkles or stitching whatsoever. Wonder why I have this problem? I am using a Spring Air mattress with a pillowtop (on both side) that is separate from the mattress. So maybe that makes the edges a tad bit higher than the rest of the bed, so I get a canopy type of thing going on! Maybe I just need to pull the mattress pad more tight. Not sure, but it is an improvement over what I had. My sheets are extremely new (less than 3 months) and are from Ross, Royal Velvet brand. They are already pilling, so maybe I will try my sheets that make noise (high thread count, Egyptian) next time to see if it keeps it tighter. Gosh talk about a picky person huh? I am just happy not having hip pain anymore. I end up sleeping on my back though cause of the deep impressions I get on the side. I could stand to lose some weight, but I use to be skinny in my youth  |
