I'm asking about a 3" latex topper that I already ordered. I weigh 180- 200 pounds, and wonder if the medium-soft is too soft? My name is Peter Haughw

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.

I doubt it. Im 210 and think its perfect. I dont get the cramps in my shoulders from side sleeping and back sleeping is even better.

It is just right on our bed. We have a firm memory foam mattress and the topper makes it comfortable. Everyone is going to have a different experience depending on their personal comfort level, but for us it is just right.

We bought this because our 15 year old Tempur Pedic mattress was too firm after my husband's recent back surgery. I was really thrilled by how comfortable this made our bed; like buying a new mattress for a fraction of the cost. Weight wise you should be just fine.

You definitely need to purchase a 3" memory foam topper for your bed. I've used overstock.com twice, and buy a new one about 3-4 years. A lot cheaper than a new mattress, unless yours is completely broken down. I've had same mattress for a decade now; my body never touches it, only the topper. I expect it to last forever, because it never feels the weight of my body. Even so, I turn it a couple times per year. Good luck.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

If you are very light (less than 110lbs (50kilos), definitely go with the 3inch topper. Also, if your mattress is especially lumpy, again go for the 3 inch pad. A 2 inch topper is not adequate to hide mattresses' imperfections.So after all that, I say go with the 3 inch one. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you!Pete

Hi, I actually didn't open and see the package because when I checked in the dormitory room, the mattress top is already soft. Sorry I couldn't be more of help.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

I'm the same height as you and very petite, and have the same preferences as you. I loved my goose down pillow, but hated that I had to keep fluffing it. I purchased this pillow in "low loft, firm," and it's a little too firm for me. Also, I find that when I awake that I'm hardly on the pillow because it might still be a little too high. So I'm exchanging it for the "low loft, plush."

I have King size 3" talalay topper on top of 3" memory foam, i am about 200lb, only some part of body can reach to the buttom, other part with nice support, the talalay looks like they were 4" to me thick the the memory foam. i wish they have 5" option, the cover just right fit for my bed set.

I just bought one and it was incredibly soft! I was able to easily squeeze it together with 2 fingers. sending back for a return

The pillow is pretty thick and hard...too hard for me. I have never used it and have been wanting to sell it on Craigs List. I have had neck surgery and have always liked using a thin down pillow that I could bunch up under my neck for support where I needed it. Want to buy my pillow at a good price?

I too am interested. I have slept on latex pillows my entire life and take them with me when I travel (including Korea and Africa). People laughed but I had a good night sleeps. Todays latex pillows aren't like the ones I bought 5+ years ago. I have tried desperately to find a new pillow and this Dunlop vs Talalay may be the clue what I was looking for. Is there a Dunlop latex pillow still out there on the market? (For many years the only place I could find a latex I liked was Sears, but even the ones they have now, are horrible). My pillows really need to be replaced and I just can; sleepon any other type of pillow. Certainly there are some people out there in the same situation as me. I too am interested.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

the removable latex topper is 3 inches. if you have other questions, just ask.

I have not found the sleep innovation 4" topper hot. I love sleeping on it and I can honestly say, I have not slept so well in a long time. I love this topper. Amen

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

I ordered a number 6 or 7 and for me it is way way way too thick and soft. The top layer is probably about 6 inches thick Im just guessing here I feel like I'm sinking in a bunch of cotton balls. This may sound appealing to some people. Not to this girl. I am going to order a new top layer and I'm thinking I'll go with a number 2 at max.
