Latex topper

Hi Phoenix,

The plot thickens…

It seems that breathability is going to be an issue with the wool topper. Shepherd’s dream was not too enthusiastic about my idea of putting the 3" Snuggle Mate over a eco high density 6" foam base in a Murphy bed. I’ve consulted the Murphy bed seller (StilDesign) for ideas. I don’t actually have the bed yet. I’ve put down a 50% deposit - and the bed is still a good idea for my bedroom-office.

The bed has a very shallow steel frame, something like the attached photo, except queen size

Or this…

The bed’s one-piece foot swings up to hold the mattress in place when the bed is to be put away.

Shepherd’s Dream has a pricey insert which might work:

Or perhaps something from Ikea like you discuss here:

I can likely pick up one of those second hand (and assembled) for cheap.

What are BE outlets? Are they in Canada?

Then there’s still the question of buying a base layer. Shepherd’s Dream has these latex slats.

I’d love to get a wool mattress (vs topper) but they’re expensive and may not stand up in a Murphy bed anyway (?).

Comfort wise, I prefer wool to the latex (any ILD). MF is comfy but too toxic.

Thanks,

Michael
