Return to Latex Mattresses
So very happy with this topper. The latex is the perfect density. I choice the 2" medium. I sleep on my stomach, so I don't do well with an overly soft surface. However, I also have fibromyalgia (35 years of it) and need the cushioning for the dreaded "trigger points" in my shoulders and upper back. This filled the bill! The cover is absolutely wonderful, (I got the certified Organic Cotton one, and had it prewashed (a must) before they made it, and it fits perfectly. It even adds a layer of comfort on top, as it allow the latex to perform and yet have a layer of cotton softness. It is well worth the cost. It fits perfectly, and the foam comes with the cover installed so cuts the work of having to put it on, and also assures you that it fits! With the cover installed, you can handle the topper positioning, etc. and prevent accidently tearing the foam...another great idea. Now about the vanilla smell. 1. very slight, but I could smell it. 2. I held back my enthusiasm to put it on my bed and rightfully so, as I took the advice to air out the topper (still in the cover) for 1 week. I draped it over a guest bed in a room with plenty of good air circulation and turned it every day for about 4 days, and then left it alone with sleeping side up with a floor fan aimed at it for the last three days. THE VANILLA SMELL WAS GONE. I am so happy! I have a special feather bed cover that I customized for a full size topper, and it fit perfect. This new topper lays directly on another 3 inch topper which is firmer, and can take a fitted full sheet. I use a flat sheet on my foamorder topper as it makes it perform the way I need it to. That way I can play with sheeting, which makes it all the more fun.

I was making custom cushions for MCM chairs I got from the 60s. Non-toxic is key for me. These were well priced, shipping was free, and they don't even have much of a latex smell. Super comfortable.

I only dropped one of the stars because despite my most careful efforts to measure and measure again, and despite the incredibly helpful and patient guidance I received from the Foam Order staff member who worked with me on the phone, my new sofa seat latex forms (with single-wrapped Dacron) did not properly fill our existing sofa cushion covers. The foam should definitely have been double- not single-wrapped (the staffer advised single wrap). In fairness, it is extremely hard to make these judgment calls by phone, hundreds of miles away. But I remedied the situation by using the Dacron wrap that was wrapped around our original foam, and sliding the now double-wrapped blocks of latex into the original form covers, and then inserting those cotton-covered units into the linen sofa cushion covers. This involved some careful removal of the original glued-Dacron wrap, and a good deal of basting with thread to keep the double-wrap in place, plus re-close the cotton foam covers. Quite a production, but worth it, as the result is perfect and the seat cushions are SOOO much better and will stay firm and lovely for 15 years. (As opposed to the really cheap foam that was used for the original sofa, only two years old when we knew we had to replace it!) So, if you decide to replace your foam cushion forms, SAVE YOUR ORIGINAL WRAP AND COTTON FORM COVERS! But definitely work with Foam Order--their foam is the highest quality and their customer service is patient and caring. They will stay with you on the phone as long as it takes to help you figure out what you need. It's just tough to get the new foam and wrap to perfectly fill the cushion covers, and long-distance calculations are always going to be a bit of an educated guess, I think, despite Foam Order's exemplary website and directions.

We are using this topper to soften our all natural bed that has an all wool mattress, another 3" med density latex topper, and another wool topper. It was sort of trial and error, otherwise we would not have so many layers. I would recommend the soft density for sure to avoid buying more layers if you're starting with a very firm bed. The best thing about this latex topper with the organic cotton cover is that there is no odor. I had multiple chemical sensitivities for quite a few years, and these latex toppers and covers were so great for me. I did ask them to pre-wash the cover in plant-based fragrance-free detergent. It's so nice that they offer this.

I purchased a spring bed with medium stiff springs and a Euro top, but I found the springs still created pressure points on my hips. The bed manufacturer assisted with an additional piece of foam and a "Super Pillow Top." But the springs still dug into my hips. I need a strong enough spring resistance to keep my spine straight to avoid lower back pain. Now, I have been using my Foamorder 4" Natural Latex Medium Density Bed Topper with a 60/40 cover for several weeks. I find that I can stay in the bed 8 hours without discomfort. Whereas previously, 6 hours was a painful maximum. In sum, it appears to be doing the job that I intend it to do. I'm no particular fan of a bed where the surface is high off the floor. I compensated by ditching the 5" box springs after a week of testing and I replaced the box spring unit with mattress support slats that I used zip-ties to hold in place. So, I rate this purchase with 4 stars. I probably should have used 5, but that can appear rushed and disingenuous. I was pleased with the order turn around time. I think that it took around 2 weeks for delivery. Of course, the box was a bit heavy. So, exercise caution when handling and get help if you have back issues.
