Hey Everyone! Has anyone cut off the pillow top and replaced it by just laying over it a latex topper? Hate this mattress /pillow top - extremely bulky (shoulder/arms/legs go to sleep, back hurts) too expensive to throw away, can’t return, struggled with it for 5 years, toppers make it even worse (feels like sinking in a 10 foot pile of foam (have used all the toppers you can think of including latex, hard foam, etc.) I side sleep, 5’9, 180 lb. What kind of latex topper should I get if it’s even possible to remove the pillow top and would cutting off PT even work? Thanks for any advice!
Try the latex topper on top of it because it is reversible. You might like it like that.

Hello Millebw42.
Welcome to our Mattress Forum. 
Mattress surgery isn’t a foreign concept around here. People have certainly done this and more!
What’s the mattress like? Button tufted? Glued layers?
What are you hoping to get from the mattress? More firmness? More plushness? Better alignment?

Thanks for your response. Yes, it is buttoned PT very lumpy on top … very cumbersome. I’m hoping for a flat surface and the feel much like the Tempur-pedic used to feel… back in the day supportive but allows your pressure point; Shoulders and hips, a rest. Any advice would be appreciated!
