Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress Topper - Firm - 3 Inch - Twin Size (GOLS Certified Organic)

Finally, we found the perfect topper. After researching several other toppers looking for the firm topper we felt we needed, we found one that works for both my husband and myself. Our situation? Both of us have degenerative discs...me in the neck requiring cervical fusion of 4 vertebrae and other discs that are just plain wearing out due to arthritis and age. My husband also has back issues...scoliosis due to a mild case of polio and disc issues in lumbar area plus shoulder pain, arthritis and assorted aches and pains of getting older. We're retired, in our latest 60s and both would benefit from losing some excess weight. Sleeping at night was uncomfortable to say the least. We replaced our mattress but wanted to keep it in good condition so we. bought a memory foam mattress topper at Costco and put it on the bed to start with. It began to show signs of flattening and not being supporative out after about 2-3 years. Replaced it with another brand at Costco and that one too began to do the same. The mattress had never been without a topper on it & it was in great condition so we tried sleeping without the topper. The bed felt great, firm and no aches or pains in the mornings. But we still wanted to protect our mattress from eventually sagging so the search was on for a different topper. We searched website after website for "the best topper for back pain"...and learned a great deal about the different materials and types of toppers. Density varies greatly too...2-3lb density is softer and 4-5 lbs firmer. Memory foam is the most readily available kind of topper, also the least expensive and to us they seem to offer the least support. We did purchase a "layered topper" of 4lb density on top with 5lb density underneath, ILD of 19 I think. Tested it out for less than 15 minutes and returned it the same day. Felt like we were being sucked into a marshmallow. That was supposed to be firm? More research taught us that latex is much firmer and lasts longer than memory foam with less if any "cratering" where you lay on it. There are two types of latex toppers, one (talalay) that is about 40% latex and the rest is fibers and other man made materials other is Dunlop. They are different methods of how the toppers are made. 100% latex is more supportive, no odor, and of course more expensive. Yep, you really do get what you pay for. We decided that 100% natural latex was what we wanted and Firm was what we needed. More research lead us to Pure Green. I spoke to Jennifer in their customer support and she inquired about our specific needs and gave us recommendations. We decided on the 2" firm topper that has a density of 5.9lbs and an ILD rating of 44. I'm so glad we did. It is firm, but it still cushions our hips and shoulders. Not being sucked down into the topper like with memory foam and we both wake up feeling about as good as 67 years old gets! One caution...this sucker is heavy!!! King sized must be around 50 lbs....the stickers on the box that say HEAVY Cautiion Lifting aren't just there because they are pretty (although they are). If you are looking for a firm topper, do your research and be sure to take a look at Pure Green100% latex toppers. We are very happy we did!

Práctico

This mattress topper saved my body during my pregnancy! It is firm and very supportive - excellent for side sleeping. It is a little hard to move as it is heavy and awkward, but that means it doesn’t shift while you’re sleeping, which is great. Also keep in mind that you could pull off pieces of the foam if you’re grabbing it too close to the edge while moving it. There was an odor when we first opened it, but that mostly faded after leaving it rolled out and outside for a day. But the support that this topper offered outweighs the little quirks. A great solution for those who can’t afford a whole new mattress or for couples who prefer different levels of mattress firmness.

I have purchased the 2" Latex and is great product. I can confidently say that buying from this seller you will receive the Best product and best support. I had an issue and the seller resolved it the same day. I would recommend it.

This review is based off of our first night. May update review after time. But wow! Oh wow! We have used high density Viscose memory foam toppers for years. Always found relief from pain. But after a couple years, even with a 4" name brand topper, we would sink. My elderly grandparents slept in our bed for an overnight visit and called our bed quick sand. We knew we needed a new topper. Our matters is still in great shape with little to no 'dents'. But $200+ for ANOTHER memory foam topper? Not ideal. So latex was the choice this time. I did tons of research. Even considered buying a 10" mattress out of the box that is a blend of latex, Energex and memory foam. But decided to try this topper before sinking a grand. Glad we did! Immediately we are impressed. The 1" topper in firm does wonders on a firm bed. It relives pressure but bounces back. You don't sink. We have a 2" memory foam topper on top of the firm latex topper and it is like sleeping bliss. Better than I'd imagine clouds would feel. I think my aching joints will thank me after a week of sleeping on this new set up. I highly recommend this topper! Bottom line: If you want support that relieves pressure, try natural latex. It is cooler than memory foam but also seems to support under a thin memory foam topper. Depends on your needs really. It would suffice alone if a person preferred a firmer surface. But my body needs a little softer. So we added a thin high density memory foam topper. Awesome combo! Much better than memory foam alone! And the initial odor is weird, but it isn't overwhelming and after putting a mattress pad and sheets over it, we don't notice it at all. This is straight out of the box too. Give it a try! Update Almost 1 year later... Our previous mattress completely failed after our most recent move. We suspect some individual coils had seen enough movement (coil mattresses really don't like being moved) and simply collapsed when being transported in the moving truck. We ended up buying an extra firm, maximum coil, double sided mattress with a 20 year warranty. Crazy right? Well, we added the same toppers to our new mattress to hopefully prolong the life of the set and bring some relief to aching joints. While we don't need this topper to enhance the firmness of our new bed, we are using it to help extend the mattress life. We still have the 2" memory foam topper on top of the latex topper for extra softness and pressure relief. As far as this topper goes, it still looks and feels brand new. If we ever decided to stop using it on our king bed, we would cut it in half to use on our kids twin beds. It really does seem it will hold up for years to come. Thanks for making a great natural, quality bedding product!
