Yes, that’s where I found the flobeds topper, from your list, of course!
The topper came in the mail last week, and I unwrapped it last night. I’m not sure what I think about it or not. I did only lay on it for an hour or so. Flobeds customer support told me the topper doesn’t come with a “rest test”. E.g., if I sleep on it, I can’t return it…
The searching around I did about this topper, there was very little information people had written about it. Phoenix reviews two competing shredded latex toppers here in post #38 and I was going to buy the Seven Comforts topper, but they’re web site says they are out of stock in size queen and they didn’t reply to an email I sent asking when it would be back in stock.
The little I found about the Flobeds shredded latex topper, people were worried it would crater like the Lanoodles topper in Phoenix’s review. It doesn’t crater, they put so much shredded latex in the baffles that they’re so full, they don’t crater.
Another very common worry I found around the internet is the seams in the topper that connect the baffles. When you lay on it, you compress the baffles down, but you don’t compress them down so much your body touches the seams. I had to run my hand behind my back to figure out there is some empty space between your back and the topper where the seams are. But you don’t really notice the empty space. it’s like your brain fills in these areas. Or maybe it’s that the shredded latex is so soft, you just don’t notice the difference between laying on air for short spaces and laying on shredded latex?
I’m thinking my main disappointment so far, is I got a size queen. The pictures on the web site must be of a topper for a smaller bed. Because on the size queen, there is a seam right down the center of the topper that connects two side together. Laying on the topper, it did feel like I was leaning toward the center seam… Which I definitely did not like.
And when you first lay on it, you don’t feel the air in between the baffles like I said, but it does kind of feel like you’re laying on a bunch of rows of cushion. The cushion is so soft, it almost feels a little unstable… I’m wondering if after awhile, the softness compresses some, and it doesn’t feel so unstable? I did notice after laying on the topper, the “unstable-ness” did seem to become less of an issue. But the feeling of leaning toward the center seam didn’t become less of an issue. I just noticed that after about 45 minutes, I happened to have flipped over a little and was now in the center of the bed.
It was very comfortable laying on top of the seam… It’s like I said before, you don’t notice there are short spaces in between the latex that are just air.
I’m not explaining it exactly right, but it kind of felt like you were laying on an expensive mat you brought with you out in the woods to sleep on when you went camping…
I’ve only laid on the thing for an hour though. I’m trying to decide what I’m going to do. They told me that if I sleep on it, I can’t return it. I may sleep sleep on it and return it anyway, I don’t know. It’s also a possibility to use the return protection feature of my AMEX Blue Cash card and return it to them if Flobeds won’t take it back.
