Hi BacknSideSleeper,
[quote]Doing some more research on the Ultimate Dreams Latex mattress, but there are very few comments about transfer of motion. My sleep is usually interrupted when my partner changes position or gets out of bed so I wanted to know how this mattress performs in that aspect. I’d appreciate if any owners can chime in on their experience. Please also list your mattress size, firmness, and estimated body weights so I can get a general idea.
Thanks very much for the information! [/quote]
While I don’t have any personal experience with sleeping on this mattress specifically … latex in general is “good” with motion transfer and better than most other materials such as polyfoam and even pocket coils although it’s not as motion isolating as memory foam. You will generally feel “little” motion from your partner (depending on the strength of the movement) but it will be less than most other materials.
There is more about how latex compares to memory foam in post #2 here.
@santo10979,
This would be a preference choice based on the type of material you tend to prefer sleeping on. The risk of adding a topper to a mattress that was already a suitable match for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) is that adding thicker and softer materials on top of a mattress that is working well may end up being too soft for you and increase the risk of alignment issues and lower back pain.
At the very least I would sleep on a mattress first to see whether it’s suitable for you and so you can assess its firmness and if you need some additional softness or pressure relief because the mattress is too firm then I would use the information in post #2 here and the topper guidelines it links to a a guideline to help you choose a topper that will add any additional pressure relief you need with the least possible risk to alignment.
