wool toppers
|
Hello, has anyone tried the Naturaworld classic comfort plus wool topper? Is it softer then, say, the cuddlebed topper from Costco? We have the cuddlebed, and I have to say that it is great, but if we wanted something with a little more cushion, would we be better off with the wool topper from Natura? The good thing about anything from costco is that it is returnable, whereas the wool topper won't be (so it is a bit more of a risk to try). Thanks for any opinions! |

My (very) old natura bed came with a wool topper; don't know if it's the same as they sell now separately. The one I have is about 2 " (when it's not matted down) oganic wool filling inside an organic cotton cover. Have never tried a cuddlebed so I don't know how to compare. I find the wool toppers and pads (I also have a fleece pad) great for temperature regulation. I guess it also depends on what you have it on top of, and what you want it for (eg softness, temperature regulations, etc). The wool topper that came with my old bed was on top of a very thin piece of very firm latex (way too firm for me, and the topper wasn't enough to soften it up sufficiently, even though I slept on that bed for many years). I now use the wool fleece pad on top of my thick latex bed (old natura bed is in our other bedroom). I actually prefer the feel of the latex without the topper (just with the regular mattress cover it came with, which has some wool in it) but prefer it with the fleece pad for temp control, so I use it for that. |

| The CuddleBed is okay but for some reason it didn't work well for me. I think you can't go wrong with a wool topper for regulating heat. As to providing softness, the problem is, it has to be thick to provide much softness and thick = soft without support. 2" is okay because it scrunches down to almost nothing. But it's for temperature regulation more than for softness. It does provide a little softness but nothing like memory foam or ultra low ild latex. The problem with softness is, it feels great at first, but somewhere in the night it will start hurting your back. A little softness is about all your back can take. |

thanks so much for the input. Good to know wool = temp regulation and not softness. This is usually not how it is advertised, but that is what is great about this board. Honest answers. Thanks!!! This message was modified Oct 29, 2009 by arg0
