Deleted original post. Too many weird symbols that I didn't type! Will check to see how to make them go away and then re-post. This message was modified Sep 10, 2007 by BeddyBye

Which would tend to be influenced by body impressions more3/4" memory foam topper from Overstock or the lower ILD latex topper, also from Overstock? I give 20 to 1 odds that the latex will hold up better. Latex is very resilient and keeps it's shape better than any other foam. The one caveat is the suspect quality of the latex in this case, but is there any really bad latex? |

I agree--it's a safe bet that the latex will hold up better. I just want to add that although I'm not a big fan of memory foam for various reasons, I have an inch of it on top of my mattress. Over the memory foam is an inch of latex. See my thread below about loving my mattress after a year. Neither latex nor memory foam shows any change in this time. Alisande |

| I think you should go with which material feels best to you - either one will last a good long time, and a one or two inch piece of either is generally inexpensive enough that it can be replaced after a number of years. Much less expensive than changing mattresses as too many of us on this forum already know! |

<SPAN style="COLOR: #0000cd"><STRONG>This is exactly what I did! Only instead of the softer Overstock latex, I have a firmer 32 ILD layer over the Overstock memory foam (approx. 1&quot;. Closer to 3/4&quot;.) I tried it for the first time last night and it was wonderful! It was neither too soft nor too firm. And, it felt supportive. Very nice feeling for both my side and back. I hope this configuration feels this great for a long time. My husband's side has the same two toppers, but his mattress is a wee bit firmer, changing the comfort level slightly. He has a 55 ILD HR 3/4&quot; PU foam base above the coils, whereas mine is a 45 ILD. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Anyway, thank you for your review, Alisande! Glad it's still working well for you! I know I sure didn't want to get out of bed this morning!<BR><BR></STRONG></SPAN> Alisande wrote: I agree--it's a safe bet that the latex will hold up better.
