The Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress Topper
Experience The Comfort of Pure Green Natural Latex Foam!
100% Natural Latex Foam is a comfortable, durable and breathable material that is the perfect addition to the top of any mattress. We designed the Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress Topper to capture and enhance the best qualities of natural latex foam. It is made with the purest formulation possible through a superior production process and is certified under internationally recognized health and environmental standards.
In 2013 we introduced The Pure Green Natural Latex Foam Mattress Topper. We made the topper with only 100% natural latex (harvested from rubber trees), no synthetic latex (made from petrochemicals) and manufactured it to the highest aesthetic and performance standards. Over the years, we obtained several certifications to ensure and verify the safety of the topper. In 2019, we began sourcing our natural latex exclusively from certified organic rubber trees and became GOLS certified (Global Organic Latex Standard). The GOLS certification signifies our commitment to Organic agriculture and is a step towards a more sustainable supply chain.
The Soft Topper is our most popular firmness and the ideal choice for anyone looking to add additional softness to the surface of their mattress. It adds softness but still provides enough support to prevent the feel of sinking into the mattress. It is perfect for side sleepers who are suffering from hip and shoulder pain on a mattress which is too firm. We also offer Medium and Firm firmness versions of this topper.
Why Choose a Natural Latex Mattress Topper?
Comfort and Support – Natural Latex Foam reacts instantly to provide perfect comfort and support. Unlike memory foam, you’ll never experience any sinking as the night goes by. Our topper will maintain contoured support throughout the night.
Durability – Natural Latex Foam is one of the most durable bedding materials on the planet. It is far more durable than most types of polyurethane foam or memory foam. Our mattress topper will probably last longer than the mattress you use it on top of.
Breathability – Natural Latex Foam is heat neutral. It will not absorb body heat or change firmness depending on the temperature. Latex foam is an open-celled foam and contains tiny air chambers that run throughout the foam. These air chambers allow the air to flow freely through the topper. While a latex foam topper can not always make a bed cooler, a 2″-3″ topper can serve as a great buffer between your body and a hot memory foam (or polyurethane foam) mattress.

|---|---|---|---|
Pure FormulationWe produce our foam using only natural latex harvested from organically grown rubber trees; we never use any synthetic latex in our foam. We also never use any fillers. The use of fillers lowers the cost to produce latex foam but comprises the foam’s performance qualities. |
ConsistencyIt is challenging to maintain cosmetic and performance consistency when manufacturing natural latex foam. Unlike synthetic materials, which always have the exact same composition, the composition of natural latex harvested from rubber trees continually changes slightly with the weather and seasons. Our manufacturing team works hard to continually adjust to the latex to provide the highest consistency possible. |
Superior Production ProcessWe make our foam in moulds through an enhanced version of the Dunlop Process, which results in foam that is springy but not “bouncy” like latex foam made through the Talalay process. |
Real CertificationsWe only advertise certifications issued directly to our company (Sleep On Latex). Anyone can independently verify these certifications through the certification bodies that administer the certifications. We undergo auditing and testing, which allows the certifying bodies to continually monitor our compliance. Each topper box we sell contains a GOLS label with a tracking number that allows us to trace the latex back to the field. |
Choose Your Thickness
1″ Mattress Topper
Our 1″ toppers are great for adding a subtle change to the surface of a mattress without adding much additional height. While it will not provide a drastic change a 1″ topper can be used to tweak surface feel of the mattress.
2″ Mattress Topper
Our 2″ toppers are the most popular topper height we sell. They are great for adding a significant change to the surface of the mattress while still retaining the general support of the mattress underneath.
3″ Mattress Topper
Our 3″ toppers will provide a “mattress makeover”. They dominate the feel of the mattress to revitalize and reinvigorate an old mattress. They can also be used to create large changes in the firmness of a mattress.

Best customer service, best product!I never write reviews, but I feel that I need to this time because I need everybody to know how great the customer service is with Sleep on Latex.My sister purchased a 3″ soft king topper and loved it so much that she purchased a 2″ soft queen to put in her spare room. I borrowed the 2″ after she raved so much about it. We both suffer from a connective tissue disorder that makes sleep uncomfortable. We wake constantly with subluxations (body parts that slip out of place), having to shift, roll over, etc., at least 20 times a night which can get old really fast. I borrowed the 2″ topper from her spare room and had the best sleep of my life for two nights! I usually wake up at a 6 out of 10 on the pain scale in the morning until I can take my meds, but with this topper, I wake up at a 2 or a 3 out of 10 on the pain scale, which is huge!!!! I immediately ordered my own.I went bigger, however, and purchased the 3″ soft topper instead of the 2″ soft topper that I’d borrowed from my sister. I thought that bigger would be better! Unfortunately, I was wrong. When the 3″ soft topper arrived, I realized that it was a *touch* too deep for me. It had the same soft/wonderful/cool support that feels like sleeping on a cloud, but it put me into a position that was awful. I have to sleep on my side with a king pillow wedged in behind me for support, as well as a king pillow in front for support. I use a gel pillow under my head and the 3″ topper was *just* deep enough that it tilted my head just a fraction beyond what is comfortable for my body and I was in agony 🙁 I was so sad! I wanted it to work so badly but I couldn’t bear it after a few nights as it was just a tiny bit too tall. (My spouse said the 3″ was the same as the 2″ just to give you some reference. I was the only one that noticed the change!) This is where the review gets awesome.I emailed the company, and literally within minutes, they responded. I had a return started with Amazon, they were shipping me a box big enough to return it (because my overzealous spouse had already recycled the BIG box that the 3″ topper came in), and I purchased the 2″ soft topper. In just a few days, I received the box, packed up the 3″ topper to return, and had the new 2″ topper on my bed. Sleep on Latex ordered a UPS pick up at my home at no cost to me, and I happily pushed the big box onto the front porch and went upstairs to flop down on my bed in relief.There were about eight emails back and forth to coordinate the logistics, and this was HANDS DOWN the best customer service I have ever received. Like, EVER! And that, to me as a consumer, is invaluable. They listened, responded, and problem-solved like pros.Oh, and I almost forgot….I didn’t order the zippered cover when I bought the first 3″ topper. I realized that I wanted it when I read other reviews about how much easier it made moving it around on the bed (it’s super hard for me to bend over, and anything that makes my life easier to shift the thing around on my mattress is great. The topper is kind of…well….latex-ish when you don’t have a cover on it so it’s maybe 20% harder to move around on a big bed by myself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not difficult, just…active. Putting sheets on the bed flows better when the cover is on, too! But you def don’t NEED the cover if you don’t want it. A mattress protector or other top sheet would be just fine if you don’t want to spend the money, but the cover really does improve my experience with the topper. I don’t share other reviews’ frustration with the zip-off top, I thought it was very clever! That way, I can just zip off the top, wash it, and zip it back on without flopping the topper around by myself. Very smart!) Anyway, I ordered the cover, and my new 2″ topper ARRIVED ALREADY INSIDE THE COVER. How great is that?!? Seriously. I appreciated that extra step SO MUCH and almost cried when I opened the box to see that. To me, that goes above and beyond what any company is required to do. That extra step meant so much.So, long review short, this 2″ soft topper is a game-changer. I love it. It’s worth every penny and I want to purchase them for every bed in my home. It takes my already-bowed five-year-old memory foam mattress from sucky to amazing. The zip-off topper cover makes my life easier. The topper makes my nights better. It’s just bouncy enough, my spouse doesn’t feel my move around, it’s nice and cool, and feels like I’m sleeping on a cloud. It keeps my pressure points supported, my bones don’t slip out of place, I wake up rested and almost pain-free, and it’s easy to maintain. (Oh, and because nobody else has mentioned it, it doesn’t take away from romantic time, either 🙂 )Buy this product. And buy it from this company. I’m so grateful!!! Thank you SleeponLatex!!!

This thing is A. MA. ZING.2nd UPDATE 8.21.2022- I was walking the other day & suddenly realized I hadn’t felt that old familiar pain in my hips & lower back in several days at least. I 100% believe this mattress pad is really helping me. It’s so so so freaking comfortable. I literally crave crawling into bed at the end of the day because it feels so good.UPDATE 8.2.2022- I’ve slept on this mattress pad every night for several weeks now and my back is getting better and better. It’s SO comfortable. I really look forward to crawling into the bed every night again, like I used to. I wake up refreshed with way less pain than I went to bed with. Def worth the $$$.I bought a new hybrid mattress in 2017 that has hardly been slept in for any consecutive length of time because the memory foam top has absolutely wrecked my hips and lower back. So I’ve been sleeping on the couch which has been making things way worse, and ruining my couch, but at least I wasn’t in pain immediately upon waking up.I’ve been dreaming about getting one of these toppers and finally bit the bullet because I just want my back to feel better!I got the 3” soft topper. Putting it on my bed was super easy. I removed it from the box and placed the plastic wrapped topper on top of the bed where it was going to be permanently, to avoid lifting & possibly tearing it without the protection of the plastic. I gradually unrolled it from the plastic and kept adjusting the position as it expanded. Doing it this way took very little manual handling of the topper itself, and before I knew it, the topper was in place.I covered it with a waterproof mattress pad and a fitted sheet. My room did smell like bandaids for a day or two, but it’s fading.I slept on it for the first time last night. I was absolutely knocked out, hardly any tossing & turning at all. WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I WOKE UP TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2017 WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT BACK PAIN…🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.I was able to stand up straight right away when I got out of bed, which is something I haven’t been able to do in several years. I felt 45 again, my actual age, instead of 65. This thing is absolutely amazing.The topper is very soft, but at the same time extremely supportive & bouncy. Like you sink in a bit, but unlike memory foam, it gently pushes back against you & its easy to change positions.Another reviewer said it’s like sleeping on jello and that is an excellent analogy. It’s more like sleeping on a jello jiggler…remember those? Firmer than regular jello but still jiggly and bouncy. When I was unrolling the topper, it actually shimmied & jiggled like jello.I sleep hot, but I was nice and cool and comfy on this topper, under my weighted blanket. I can’t wait to sleep on it again tonight.Seriously, it’s VERY MUCH WORTH THE MONEY if you need to transform your crappy memory foam mattress.

THIS ONE’S A RIP OFF!!Warning!! I observed Latex Production in my teens,it should be like a car tire rubber with less Durometer of hardness because Tires are made to endure roads/streets,etc.,not sleep on.Latex should be resilient,firm,rubber like,yet tender,(Not pasta to the tooth al dente)giving to a point,(Yet nothing of the sinking of memory foam I dislike),firm more than expensive leather couch padding,(Ok for a brief period,yet not too decent for sleeping on a lot.) Latex is the opposite of the cheap,airy,not even Polyurethane or latex foam they sent,I am insulted for myself and the unwary,as the reviews I read should have warned me,they almost did,especially the complaints of how it’s like a no support foam,which is exactly what it is.I worked making furniture a year or 2 in my teens and at 20,this “latex” is super cheap foam,a joke,considered as only one or two of the many layers (They would be firmer for the middle inner of a mattress,than this rip off foam,though.)in making beds,needed near the top layer under the covering and stitching,I would choose a dry very stiff thin foam layer,direct under the outer cover,then this foam,it cannot really be noticed,it flattens immediately like nothing there,though helps protect the covering,it must be protected from underneath,a matress made like this can last for many years without flattening too much,I learned this from one of the best Mattress Makers,thats how she learned,after High School.This “latex” is about what I just mentioned,the most cheapest, unsupporting foam ever,not even worth maybe $2.00,about what I paid for it then while making matresses,at 1″ thick,twin size.(I thought it reminded me of something,even my first job stocking in a corner store for “Umpteen” $ a week,whats that mean,I asked.$13.00,I was told,the first teen after $12.00,your’e only 10 years old,just a child.(Ha-ha,I’m amused nowadays,I did not think it was funny then.Hard to forget.Not exactly big $,boy,did I work hard all my life.)Latex is the best I have had,(Except for air matresses,if they wouldn’t flatten,a bunch cheap and expensive went in the trash,not really worth the $.)first Dunlop,which can smell,the plastic helps,then Talalay,which smells less,(Talalay is better,as the refining process is better and more cost to make than Dunlop,do not let anybody lie to you.)the reverse of any latex is bad,if the under matress is not of enough firmness,the latex on top is not supported enough.Expect splits in about a year anyway on either choice,D or T,placed on a hard board,or however,glues do not work too decent,tapes are better.Personally,I wrap my matresses,pillows and toppers in 6ml plastic,use enough to place mattress flat,bring over and beyond top,about a foot beyond,cut to match,or one an inch or so short,black Gorilla tape Tough and Wide(Better than other colors,worth the $15.00 or so.),tape so seam is in middle or so,fold and press,bring up on mattress,press and try to eliminate space,tape again,seam to matress,I use many small peices to shorten up any billowing,a small hole,(You usually do not need to,when you try it out,it’ll pop,you may need a small peice of tape if too big,leave a tiny opening.)Do this first before wrapping a comforter around mattress and topper,(Topper is,of course,already on mattress top.),and hold comforter with under straps,though straps can and do break.The comforter stops much of the hot/cold/stick/noise problem,as it is thick enough to,hell,the comforter themselves doubled,2 can provide 4 plush layers,making your own topper,adjustable,the bargain ones at Departyment Stores are worth it here,way better than useless foam.(The “useless” foam is needed in bed making though,as the 2nd layer under the stiff styrofoam like layer just under the stitched covering must have this foam next,or the matress swiftly chaps,the next 10 or so layers are of varying foams,etc.,adjusted to the vare of firmness,etc.)A fitted sheet can work to hold comforter smoothly.Attach the straps to that,as the thickness of comforters tends to break the holders on straps.The comforter can be used a long time before washing,the 6ml plastic virtually water/dust proofs it,a spills a pain,at least the plastic can be damp wiped.I do not eat or drink on my matresses anymore,rare.I keep one comforter ready/stored for that reason,air tighted is best,or chew throughs can occur,they do not know what food is anyway.The pillow(s) need a zip case or 2,works better than 2 pillow cases,with 2nd one reversed,sticking to plastic is to be avoided.This “Latex”rip off (I thought the name was funny.) is not even latex foam they sent for 137.79 twin size,with 4 year warranty,they claim it is natural latex,(No way!Real Latex is like actual flexible rubber.),and upon unwrapping,I felt and knew immediately what it is,a rip off.A lot of people do not know latex,having never seen it made,it is liquid rubber from a rubber tree,processed shaped,mixed sometimes,like Talalay, and cured in a form,so if that expensive latex topper or mattress cost x amount of $ to make,make sure to get the warranty,worth every penny,as they still make a profit from the cost of the warranty alone,it covers the obtaining and production,all “Overhead.”Though everything must break, eventually,it cost minimal,or not at all,if so many acres of rubber trees are owned,#100,00 plus matresses can be made first,before machines break,what’s 10 or $20,000 to fix a roller,(How expensive,compared to making many millions for a rip off.)thats what ruins existence,owners can have millions of $$ and more in their accounts,the next person’s on welfare or ssi,or slave to a clock,not exactly because they want to be.(Yeh,charge thousands for something that costs $67.00 to make,overhead and all,not available to the Public.)Manufacturers,which are usually the Farm owners or source from etc.,think we are chattle.Well,though I consider I am my own person,they got enough $ to keep me poor,flattening my meager wallet condescendingly,they have too much $$, and do not share the land and resources properly,this Earth’s a shame.Well,anywho,personally,I consider the Martha Stewart firm foam core pillow slight better than even shredded latex for a pillow,which is better than the whole latex pillow for me,though know I slept on a hard floor till I was 17.How cold,with just a bed sheet under me,it made me hard,though I grew up poor.Now I am 60,and not so hard anymore.It’s always one thing or the other,if the water heater does not break,($14,000 plus,they wanted,I fixed it myself for less than $400.00,which includes $350. or so for a 40 gallon Electric hot water heater,just right for one person.),I gotta go up on the roof,though I got bunches more down time now,with time running out,now I gotta rewrap/return after waiting for delivery.I do not appreciate the excruciation and wall of ignorance on almost every product.Thank you.Mike

Absolutely worth getting it!!This is my first time trying a latex topper and I wish I would have done it years ago! Bear with me on my review, I wanted to try to give the best all around opinion.I’m one of those people that have spent thousands of dollars on mattresses and toppers, trying to find some combination that works for comfort and pain relief. I have back issues and joint pain, to generalize my medical history. Not to mention, I’m getting old, which sucks. Suffice it to say, pain is constant with me.Then I tried this latex topper! Wow!I’ve tried all the different kinds of memory foam toppers out there and pretty much hated every single one. I don’t like the ‘sink in’ or ‘sleeping in a cloud’ thing. Yes, it seems somewhat comfortable. For about an hour.Then it’s hard to move and makes my back hurt worse because of no support. Also, memory foam is hot too, and I hate to sweat while I’m sleeping. Uggh, gross!I’ve tried many of them. From cheap to expensive. Even every kind of thickness, none of them seemed to work, spending a small fortune. I hate them. I ended up giving them away or tossed them in the trash. Such a waste of money.Now, this latex topper is a total game changer! It’s not anything like a memory foam, which after my rant, is a huge plus!It’s comfort, softness AND support. I’m a skeptical person, could even call me cynical. But the fact remained, I needed something to add to my mattress to relieve the pressure points. I’m a side sleeper mostly, occasionally sleeping on my back.This latex topper helped out sooo much! No more shoulder or hip pain, even easing some of my back pain. Wow!! Im amazed at it, really. All from 2 inches of latex.Mattresses are so different, as are people. So many different types and in every price range. Mattresses, not people.Higher prices don’t make them better though. Neither do trends.So, I aimed for the decent inexpensive mattresses instead, settling on a lightweight innerspring poly foam one. It’s actually more comfortable than the one I spent 2200 bucks on a few years ago. I tried an 10 inch all memory foam one too, and hated it. Gave that away.Now, my mattress shouldn’t be that comfortable, right? It’s not expensive or anything fancy to brag about, but it is the best mattress I’ve slept on. I can’t sleep on firm beds, causes way too much pain. I need something soft but supporting my spine.But, if it’s comfortable, why get a topper? Because I still needed something soft to help out with the lingering hip and shoulder pain. To add that extra layer of softness and luxury that a good mattress should beg for. Beckoning to be crawled into at night.This 2 inch soft latex topper did that. It worked great at relieving the pain but supporting me thru the night. Allowing me to move around freely and wake up in way less pain. Together, it makes my bed super comfy now!! I look forward to going to sleep, knowing I’m going to wake up in less pain.My mattress is fine now, it’s not sagging or in bad shape. Nor is it super thick. Only 10 inches, without the topper. I have no need to hack away at it, or flip it over or hope the topper ‘fills in the gaps’ from holes left by bodies constantly sleeping in the same spot. If my mattress was in totally bad shape, I’d just replace it. The topper is great but it’s not that magical to fix a worn out saggy bad mattress.Honestly, I’ve already spent enough money on previous mattresses, just trying to find a comfortable one. But the cost of the one I have now, was very affordable. At that logic, I could replace it regularly and still spend less than one I bought 8 years ago.They say it’s recommended to get a new mattress every 7 years.7 years is the magic number for a lot of things, actually. Matresses, cars, houses, jobs, even spouses.I would recommend this topper to anyone and everyone!!The latex is not squishy-soft, in-a-cloud-like-marshmellows soft, but more subtle, cushiony, supportive, almost bouncy softness.It does not sag, losing it’s shape after laying on it for hours, but provides the support to keep you aligned. It does not need to ‘bounce back’ like memory foam because it does not squish down or form indents from your body shape that has to ‘fluff’ back up after hours, if it ever does.It did not have a smell to it, nor did I find the need to expose it to the elements either. Sunlight is great, but it can affect things differently. I found no instructions to put it outside, or to air it out. I simply unpacked it, put it on my mattress and let it be. Even with the door closed to my room, after several hours, there was no smell. Definitely no offensive smells like all the memory foam I’ve had in the past.It’s just an all around totally awesome topper.You can bet the house, that if this one ever needs to be replaced, I won’t hesitate to purchase another one. The company that makes them is great. Super helpful if you have questions. Delivery was quick.All in all, I’m happy with everything and hope this helps others who want to try this latex topper.

Give it a try!In the never ending search for comfortable bedding I had to make sure I included latex on the list. This is a latex topper I purchased to place on top of our memory foam mattress. It arrived nicely packaged, and I so wanted to love this topper. It has the most amazingly soft cover, and is exactly what it says it is, it just wasn’t the right mattress topper for me, and that was the only thing wrong with it. These memory foam beds and toppers are highly personal. Definite Goldilocks situation.It was not the topper for me, but this company is great. Once you get it out of the box, you ain’t getting it back in! But it was no problem. I decided to return the topper since it was not enough cushioning for my back problems, but – I contacted the company and they immediately sent out a larger box. put the topper back in and took it over to UPS. I was refunded all of my money that very day.If you think this might be the topper for you, TRY IT! Returns are easy, you have nothing to lose, and this topper might actually make you say “Jusssssst right!”

It’s greatMy situation was that I had to get rid of my old mattress and after researching options I decided I wanted to try natural latex. I bought a 3″ medium topper of this brand and set it on the floor (newly installed luxury vinyl plank) thinking it would be a temporary test until I found my new ideal mattress. But I decided that was working fine for me, better than my old bed, and slept that way for about 5 weeks before deciding I liked it but could use a little more softness as I frequently switch positions through the night and am often on my side. So I decided to buy this 2″ soft topper and set it on top.My sleep has been fine on the toppers. I am comfortable and feel like I will do just fine with these 2 toppers on the floor for now until I find the mattress I want. I may simply stick with this.The 2″ soft was just the comfort layer I needed. I’m very happy with it. I don’t sink in. I don’t hit or feel the floor. It’s just comfortable and supportive. I sleep better this way than on my old innerspring mattress…Good enough for my needs as a 5’7″ woman with a healthy bmi.

I wanted to hate it…I’m a cheapskate with princess and the pea syndrome. Awhile back, I had and old sterns and foster hybrid that was sinking. I wanted flat and firm. I bought some cheap foam mattress, the sturdiest platform base, and an “authentic” shikibuton Japanese mattress which is made of cotton and silk.Year or so later, it was getting to where I had back and hip pain when I got up. I bought memory foam and thought it was a joke for the price. So I talked myself into buying this expensive latex topper. Not much smell. Looks pretty clean. I got the cover as well.It’s unwieldy. Got it on the bed and put the shikibuton on top. Laid on it and thought, “for this price, this isn’t going to work”. I started a return with plans to box it up next day.The next morning, no pain. It was like even at night my body couldn’t relax on a firm bed, and with this thing, I was just able to let go and sink in.As a side note, I ripped up the sterns and foster bed for funsies and curiosity. There were coils first half, one layer of 3 in latex, and so so much memory foam and batting. Realize that a 5k mattress probably exists somewhere that’s worth it, but it’s not at your local store. If you have an old innerspring, you could even save the coils as they are not what breaks down…. It’s the foot of foam they put in it that does. Just check your tag for fiberglass before cutting into it as some use it for fire retardant.Objectively, I am 5’5″ 140lb middle aged. I sleep on all sides. I currently have a cheap hard 4 in polyfoam base, this 3 in soft latex, and the dense, cotton shikibuton on top. I found it you put a fiber on top, it decreases the jello feeling. Good luck people.. trying to find anything you like is so hard these days.PS memory foam is worthless.

Excellent topperThis product is super well made, works well, and I can tell will last. The latex really is nice, you feel like you can move around on the bed and don’t get stuck in the foam. Other bonus features: it has a tacky feeling so it’s not sliding around on top of the mattress. I got the two inch but wish I got the three. Wouldn’t have been too soft at all. I like the 2” I just have some pervious injuries and my bones need to feel extra weightless in the bed.Will get again when I get another mattress. Will recommend to friends as topper.Word of caution about this and any foam product. If you put them in a sealable mattress protector like for bed bugs, they will not allow you to sink properly. I am not using the mattress protector for protection from bed bugs so I unzipped and it gives properly. This is the same for any foam and especially true of soft foam mattresses. They won’t have the give you want

Very comfortableI bought the 2 inch soft topper to go with my firm memory foam mattress which is too firm for me. This topper didn’t turn the bed into a dramatically soft one. The result is more like a median firm bed. That is what I liked–soft touch with enough support. It is also not as warm as sleeping on my memory foam mattress. I sometimes still get warm while sleeping but after I move around, it gets better immediately. I noticed the smell for the first few days, but my husband never noticed any smell. I think it really depends on if you have a very sharp sense of smell.
Nicki B –
Worth It!I have given this topper a few months before reviewing.First, I went to this from a memory foam topper, which was also 3 inches. My memory foam was not very old, but it was SO HOT, like wake up sweating buckets in the middle of winter hot, and the nature of sinking into it made me constantly sink into my husband’s valley, thus giving me a horrible back ache. I was not waking up rested at all, and something needed to give.We needed something to cushion our less than a year old futon mattress, as it is so hard and stiff that it makes my arms fall asleep and gives hip pain. A new mattress was out. Can’t afford one, and don’t want anything else memory foam Ever. Again.I tried a feather bed, which was glorious for all of 2 months, until it developed a permanent “dent” where our rear ends rested nightly. And this happened despite my daily fluffing to redistribute feathers. So feather beds were out, too!So I looked at other natural alternatives. Latex is something I have been interested in for years, but it is so expensive! We decided a good night’s sleep was worth the cost, plus this company had a good return policy.This latex topper took a little getting used to, since we have been on memory foam on and off for years. I loved it immediately. You don’t sink in, so you don’t feel trapped, and it does not sleep hot at all!It took my husband a few weeks before he could say he really likes it.I do not bottom out on this, but my husband does, so he still feels the mattress underneath around his hip area. For reference, we got the soft topper in 3 inches. I vary from 110lbs to 115lbs. My husband is around 140lbs. He still feels we need another 3 inch topper in medium to go under the soft for him to be 100% comfy.Also for reference, my husband is a 100% side sleeper, and I switch from side to back about 50/50.So if you are heavier than 130lbs and sleep exclusively on your side, you may want to go with a medium firmness, or put a soft on top of a medium if you have an unbearably hard bed like we do.This latex topper gives nice “bounce” for amorous activities. You don’t get the annoying sinkage like with memory foam, so that is a nice plus!I definitely recommend this latex topper for anyone who doesn’t want the hot mess and chemicals of memory foam, or the maintenance of feather beds, but who wants to soften up their current bed.A couple things I noticed:1) It does have an odor. It isn’t terrible, but the smell clings to my sheets. It doesn’t give me a headache, and I don’t notice it anymore unless changing out sheets. So I do feel the smell is natural, since it doesn’t make me feel ill like memory foam smells do. Some reviewers say it smells like vanilla pudding. Not sure what type of pudding they eat… but it definitely doesn’t smell like any kind of pudding I have ever had, vanilla or otherwise!I don’t know if a cover would diminish or eliminate the smell. Haven’t tried one.2) This will take on the shape of the mattress or surface you put it on. If your current mattress has sizeable divots in it, this topper will mold to those.3) To get the most benefit from the softness and bounciness of this topper, do NOT make your bed super tight. For example: I like my bottom sheet to be nice and tightly stretched onto the bed, complete with hospital corners (on my side, anyway, as my husband hates his side of the top sheet tucked in.) You can’t do this with this topper. I noticed tight bottom sheets equal a firm, stiff topper that doesn’t have any softness or bounce, and my arms go numb when laying on my side. Make your bottom sheet fit loosely, and don’t compress the topper, and it will work as it should.4) Cats don’t like the feel of this topper on their paws when you have stripped the bed and are remaking it. Seriously. They act like they have tape on their paws or have stepped in water. Just sayin’.I would buy this again in a heartbeat! We are talking about getting 2 more 3 inch toppers in medium firmness to make our own mattress, as this is what other latex mattress companies do to make their soft mattresses: 3″ soft, 3″ medium, 3″ medium. Sleep on Latex offers a custom cover if you want to stack your covers, so that’s what we will be doing in the next year or so.Happy Sleeping!!**I purchased this with my own money and have received absolutely NO compensation for my review.
