Suggestions for topper to make Savvy Rest latex more comfortable

Hi TossingNTurning,

Thank you for the ideas. I did want to clarify that I think one of the issues is that fact that there is a cover at all, regardless of material, seemed to play a role in making the mattress feel stiff. It felt like it was all sort of being held in tightly. Once I freed the latex, then when we lie on it the latex could sort of bulge outward as a way to make space for our bodies. I’m not sure if that makes sense, but my concern is that any zippered cover, even with a stretchy material, will have that effect of holding everything in, contributing to a more taut surface. Would your recommendation be the same with that?

It will really be a matter of degree because as you mentioned … any mattress cover would have “some” effect. There is more about the effects of a wool quilted cover vs a stretch knit cover in post #6 here and there is more about quilted covers in general in post #12 here but I would make sure that there is a good quality cover on any latex mattress to protect the latex so it would really be a matter of having a minimal effect on the latex rather than having no effect at all.
