I need a thin enough mattress for a Murphy bed. Will this one work or is there a better material (latex) that I should find?

Good Day! The comfort layer is made from Talalay as well. See the manufacturer's link: http://www.brooklynbedding.com/latex-mattresses/10-inch-total-latex-mattress Hope this helps!

For me / us yes with one caveat... Our original very thick mattress protector with padding that we placed over the latex seemed to reduce the venting / coolness of the latex itself. A change to a very light mattress protector over the latex and then our bottom sheet did the trick. Still very much like this product months later I have zero complaints and sleep very comfortably. Good luck!

I replaced the thin mattress with the oval 2" mattress listed and I used these sheets (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EGXIRM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1#). They didn't fit so snuggly that it made the mattress bow up and they are quite soft. You definitely need something to cover the mattress if you get the 2" replacement mattress. We used this bassinet up until my son was too big and really liked it.

I used regular sheets with no problem. I see no reason you could not use a regular "mattress cover" assuming that's the same thing as a mattress pad ie. something to protect the mattress itself.

I use a padded cover called the "cuddle bed" that I bought through Costco, and it is extremely comfortable. You could use deep pocket type sheets or most likely any store bought cover if you measure the height of your mattress with the topper on.

One benefit of latex/foam is that movement on side of be d doesn't effect other side. Have them try your bed!

Mine is a regular mattress (I believe it is 8 inches thick) and it fits perfectly. I think It may work for a thin camper mattress however, it may have a tendency to slide. I am not sure how tight it would be on a thin mattress.

I wanted to thank the original poster for this question. I have an antique 3/4s four poster bed that I inherited and could not find a reasonably priced mattress for it. My parents commissioned a specially fitted mattress in the 1980s, but that one is in a state of disintegration. Being able to trim this one down would solve all of my problems, except for the sheets sadly, because I cannot afford the cost of a special order one.Thanks!

Hypoallergenic foam and a good pillow will allow you to customize the right form. Department stores sell "egg-crate" foam, but there are slightly more expensive 2-inch thick styles that you can use single or folded in half to double the thickness. I'm not supporting this mattress, though, because it developed a leak after 3 months due to a perceived design flaw (see my other review). I bought a Serta one-piece mattress of same size and better quality. Amazon sells Serta one-piece models with the same overall thickness as this Aerobed.

I would recommend the cork gasket... Keep in mind, these sheets are 8'' X 11'' .... If the cork would fail , maybe try the rubber based gasket... Was there any old gasket left upon removal , do you know what the old gasket material was/is...

Hi. I used regular Queen sized linens that I already had laying around. They work fine, but I'll probably purchase sheets that are for a deeper mattress for a better fit. The mattress expands a little after heavy use (but doesnt lose firmness), so i think sheets with a little room and eladtic would fit best (Target has nice sets by Threshold). I also bought an elastic dust ruffle to cover the bottom, so it looks like a real bed. Hope this helps!

I bought a: Twin Size Ultimate Dreams Budget Saver Firm, Sold by Dreamfoam Bedding from Amazon. It works great.

I love this mattress! I have laid on an all latex mattress and it felt more like memory foam. This mattress has more spring to it.

I just posted a review that should help, I no longer have the paper that came with the mattress, but I believe you can get the material from their website, it is a non-toxic plastic. and is very thick for a clear plastic sheet. I really cannot think of something comparable, thicker than a heavy duty freezer ziplock I believe, but not as thick as say an office chair mat. I was not disappointed with the money I spend on this purchase. Quite the contrary, I was extremely pleased with it. and still wonder why there is no law requiring hospitals to provide these and training on their installation and use to every new parent.

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.)
