Hi SeldeI, thought I would jump in here with some observations. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Comfort really does rule the roost, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with preferring the feel that works for you rather than what happens to be popular in a particular forum. Your experience with the Dormeo Dream Bed LX 710 makes a lot of sense to me. What you loved was not a gimmick to you, it was a feel profile, although even I felt the presentation of octaspring, in and of itself is a bit on the gimmickry side. Then again, who isnt these days. But you liked it and that is what matters. You responded to that deep, pressure-relieving surface and the stretchy, conforming cover that allowed the comfort layers to really contour to your body.
If what you are missing is that “sink in and feel held” sensation, but with proper support underneath so you do not get that dipping into different zip codes feeling, then something like the Tempflow Conforma from @Tempflow may be a very reasonable direction to consider. The Conforma uses higher density, slow response memory foams that are designed to give you that classic contouring effect similar to what you enjoyed in the Dormeo. At the same time, it is built with a more supportive underlying structure so you are less likely to experience the bottoming out that you ran into when combining a memory foam topper with softer latex layers.
I also think your comments about the cover are important. A thick, non-stretch organic cotton cover can absolutely change the feel of a mattress and make it seem firmer and less conforming. A stretch knit cover allows the comfort layers to respond more freely and often feels much closer to what people describe as that silky, contouring surface. That detail alone can make a meaningful difference in overall comfort.
Your hesitation about ordering from Dormeo again is understandable, especially if you are unsure the current models would match the old Dream Bed LX 710 or if you are concerned about return policies. The Conforma would not be an exact clone, but it follows the same principle you clearly prefer, which is prioritizing pressure relief and surface comfort while maintaining enough deep support to keep your spine aligned.
At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with discovering that you prefer memory foam over latex. Durability discussions are important, but they do not override personal comfort. You deserve a mattress that feels right to you, and based on everything you have shared, a well built memory foam system like the @Tempflow Conforma seems much more aligned with your actual experience and preferences.
I would recommend you have a conversation with them about how the 710 matches up with their Conforma, and how they may compare comfort wise. They also offer a 120 night trial and a 40 year limited warranty.
Hope this helps.
Maverick
