Will this defeat purpose of two inch latex topper needed to soften &amp; cool a hard temporpedic bed?

I don't see why it would. I find it very comfortable and even in the heat of the summer my husband and I were never hot. I would recommend either putting it under your mattress pad or buy a cover to enclose it just in case a stray feather might poke through.

This topper is really thick and high fluffy so you are at least a couple inches removed from the mattress. So yes I think it should keep you a bit cooler and for sure comfy. Thanks for the heads up about those memory foam mattresses. It is exactly why we never bought one.

I'm not completely sure, as I've always used a pad on top of my 4 inch foam topper, but I would think it would. The quilted pad adds a buffer between you and the foam to help disperse heat. At least from my experience.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

Yes I used it over a latex foam pad until an electric surge destroyed the control. I was never able to replace the control - customer service at Biddeford is non-existent. Google it and you'll see all the complaints. I gave up and switched over to Sunbeam.

I would go for the 3" pad and put a $30-40 mattress cover on top. The cover keeps everything in place even during activity on the bed.Yes it will soften up a firm mattress about 20% (I have a 2" pad which I really like, I am 5'9" at 175lbs)

No it might help a bit, but suggest you get a topper or change the mattress

I don't know why, but I'm a side sleeper and the 2" works fine for me. Besides, if this topper were 3" it would be very heavy and I probably would have trouble lifting it. Maybe it has something to do with density.

I have learned that 6 inches of latex mattress is all that a person ever uses, so adding additional layers will not significantly change your mattress characteristics. What does impact the comfort is the density of the foam. Given your weight, I believe adding a layer of soft latex will do more to relieve the pressure points that come from sleeping on your side and stack them firm, medium, and soft on the top.

This is not memory foam. It's latex. Big difference. I own two of these toppers, one is 2" and the other is 3". They are very soft, which is what I bought them for. I don't like hard surface mattresses. We have two memory foam mattresses and they are both two firm for my liking, so I use the toppers. Very satisfied. The other reason I like them is that they are a natural product. Covers are available from the company. Not very heavy to move. Just roll it up and carry it.

This thing isn't thick like a pillow -- it'll make a nice soft surface, but the foam topper would be more significant.I had a similar situation, and put on a foam topper plus this feather topper and the bed is pretty much heaven now. :)I recommend it.

to me it isn't all that soft. I come in at 170, so that's close. It is softer than just having my foam mattress, on a platform base. I got this mainly for the temperature qualities because on the foam I wake up in the middle of the night sweating bullets and have to get changed. Now I don't because latex doesn't hold the heat. Latex is a little springy so it took me a couple of days to get used to that but overall I am very happy with it. Maybe the 4 in. would be a little softer but it would be more springy. I bought a fit bit one and I check my sleep every day and I get nights where I am like a stone for 5 hours, just out and dead asleep, which I hadn't had for years. So it is more comfortable than no topper and much cooler than the foam. After 3 or more months I would say I am very happy with this. I no longer search for the perfect mattress, topper or sheets, which I had been searching for, for YEARS! I hope this helps.

Not sure. I actually happen to have a latex allergy, but only get blisters or a rash when latex is touching my skin. This mattress has a cover and out of the 5ish times I slept on it I had no issues.

Don't know... I am not latex sensitive... but wrapping the tissue should help to avoid some contact.

I used this to cover the topper that works for me, so I don't know if this by itself will help your back.

With a 2 inch memory foam topper this bed can be used as a permanent bed, without the topper the grooves in the mattress tend to be uncomfortable for some people
