Hi Peg.

Welcome to our Mattress Forum!

I see that you are on a “mission” to let the world know how pleased you are with your 2 months old mattress. I noticed that you are a first-time poster both on TMU and Reddit as well and that you posted the same post on Reddit here.

I tend to agree that buying a bed based on reviews can be confusing and represents what’s wrong with so many mattress “review” sites. Even when the reviews are legitimate very often “Data” is collected in the form of short-term reviews from people who are almost exclusively unqualified to render an educated opinion about the product they have purchased,. Additionally other people’s experiences in general, won’t tell you much if anything about the suitability, quality, durability, or “value” of a mattress for any particular person (see post #13 here ), This is why I recommend to avoid considering reviews as any sort of a reliable indicator of the appropriateness of any particular product for your needs. and I would d pay much more attention to the quality of the materials in a mattress than I would pay to reviews as knowing this will allow you to assess any mattress (regardless of who makes it) based on the materials and components inside it rather than on the name of the manufacturer. It’s also the reason that I place such a high value on manufacturers or retailers that are completely transparent about the materials in their mattresses and why knowing the materials in a mattress is so important … because you can’t “feel” the quality of the materials in a mattress. There is more about this in this article and in the quality/durability guidelines in post #4 here.

At one point I bought a latex topper because I wasn’t used to the firmness of the mattress, and within a day was greatly overheating, I can’t imagine what it’s like to sleep on a full latex bed, I couldn’t handle the topper, so off it went.

Latex, in general, is the most breathable and “temperature neutral” of all the different types of foam materials but the firmness of a mattress and how much you sink into it can also affect sleeping temperature as well. While it’s also not always possible to track down temperature regulation issues for any particular person on a specific mattress because there are so many variables involved (including your room temperature and humidity, your sheets and bedding and bedclothes, your mattress protector or any mattress pads you are using, and where you are in the “oven to iceberg” range) and some people can sleep warmer on mattresses that most people are generally fine with (see post #2 here).
