Choosing a topper to add to a very firm latex mattress

[phoenix]

Hi tbmh,

I currently have a cotton cover that fits snugly around my 9 inches of latex layers (ie, it couldn’t fit more). If I add a 1 or 2 inch latex topper, it seems like I’ll need a separate cover for that - is that right?

Most covers have enough room in them to fit an additional inch of latex but if you start adding more than that then it would depend on the tightness of the cover and how the compression of the latex would affect the feel of the mattress. You can also use the topper on top of your mattress as well but I would add a dedicated cover for the topper rather than bare latex if you did this (see post #2 here).

What about a wool topper like this one from St Peter’s Woolen Mill? Does that require an additional cover, or do I just put a sheet directly over it?

This would already have a cover around the wool so you can just use your mattress protector and your sheets on top of the wool topper. Some people may even use their mattress protector under it if they want to maximize the feel of the wool topper.

– and see which one suits me better

Question: between the 1.5 inch and the 3 inch wool topper, which is more comparable to the Lanoodle?

Neither one would feel the same as the lanoodles but the lanoodles is closer to “about” 1 1/2" thick on average (it’s thicker in some places than others depending on how the lanoodles are distributed).
