Flobed memory foam topper vs latex

Discussions General Mattresses Questions

I just noticed they sell two different types, the traditional one with the latex topper and one with 2 1/2" of Sensus 5lb memory foam. Would one provide more benefit over the other for a heavy side sleeper? Or is it a matter of personal preference? Im sure the sensus will sleep a bit warmer than the latex. The wool cover may affect the memory foam feel some? Myabe I would be better off with the latex topper and possible adding a thin layer of memory foam later if I wanted or swapping out the latex for memory foam. I like the idea of having best of both worlds sort of speak with memory foam on top. Here are the two models.

original memory talalay select

both are same price @ 2k

Also does SleepEz sell a model comparable to the flobed Vzone? I dont see that easily on their website

Im thinking of getting the adjustable euro base for underneath, but maybe the Ikea one at $200 instead of $750 for flobeds if the quality is decent.

Hi jaybackintheday,

The choice of materials is always a preference issue rather than a better/worse choice (as long as they are both durable versions of each material). There is more about the differences between memory foam and latex in post #2 here but the most reliable way to know which comfort materials you prefer is your own personal testing or experience.

That’s likely to be the case for most people although there are also other variables that are involved in the sleeping temperature of a mattress besides just the foam used in the comfort layers (see post #2 here).

Yes … any material that is used above a temperature sensitive material will affect the heat that reaches it and how it feels and performs.

No … the vZone is unique to Flobeds.
