I would like to purchase a zippered mattress protector for the three Queen-sized latex toppers I ordered, which total 8". I don't want anything with vinyl or waterproofing. Here's what I've found so far: SleepEZ has one that's terry cloth @ $100. Another, which is a cotton cover quilted to wool looks very nice, but is pricey @ $240 + $49 shipping. FoamByMail has a terry cloth protector @ $65. They also have a gray & white striped cover @ $45, which is cotton/poly. SleepLikeaBear has a terry cloth protector @ $128 (I wonder what makes theirs twice the price of the one sold by FBM?). They have a bamboo/poly quilted cover for $267, and wool protectors which are even more expensive. RockyMountain has a terry cloth protector @ $120. Does anyone have any other recommendations? |

As I noted earlier, it will probably be difficult to put 3 layers in, if it only unzips on one end. Latex has a lot of friction, so it does not slide easily. You probably will be able to do it once with some effort, but switching around layers will be very difficult. So, I would recommend you sleep on it for a while to make sure you are happy with the configuration before trying to put it in. |
| Sandman I called them, and the zipper goes along the long side and then the short side, like an "L" shape, so I don't think it will be a problem getting the toppers in. |

Just zip it into an allergy -proof mattress cover. This will prevent dust mites and keep your latex clean and safe. http://www.natlallergy.com/cat/2/bedcare-mattress-covers-mite-proof-encasings-bed-bug-covers.html As someone mentioned above, I have been using my latex for years with no cover. I think the one I've had the longest is a blended Talalay and it does have some "drying" to it, which may or may not be from having it un-encased. Not sure. But I don't use covers because it's just that much harder to change out layers if I do. This message was modified Apr 4, 2010 by Jerseydevil

I ordered that 100% unbleached cotton from shopbedding.com via ebay. My zipper was only at the very bottom. :( My Latex comes in Monday and I have 4 days to find my bed base and get my cover altered. I think my local seamstress can add more zipper to my current cotton unbleached case for less than what Id pay for another one.
