Hi tavak,
[quote]I ended up removing the middle foam and keeping the two 1" latex layers. This lasted another month before we decided to move to only 1 layer.
Same issue. After sleeping on the latex for several hours, it would create a depression and when we rolled over, the depression wouldn’t pop back to it’s original flat shape, making it hard to move around. I’ve got a nerve issue with my neck, so I move around a lot, but I was hoping with latex that once I rolled over, my original depression would pop back up to the normal flat state and not have to wait.
Am I wrong in thinking that this is what makes Latex special? Maybe I have the wrong idea of what latex does or maybe I was sold subpar latex??? So confused.[/quote]
It’s very doubtful that the issues you are mentioning are from the latex and are most likely either in the 2" of polyfoam that is in the topper (which I understand you removed so this is less likely) or more likely yet in the top layers of the mattress underneath the topper which uses some very low quality and less durable materials. 1" of latex isn’t enough to create an impression so that alone would indicate that the issue was almost certainly in the materials in your mattress that are underneath the topper. I would also keep in mind that a latex topper (or any topper) will also “follow” any virtual or visible impressions in the mattress underneath it (see post #4 here) so you can’t really “fix” a mattress that is either too soft or has any virtual or visible sagging with a topper except perhaps partially or temporarily.
As you can see here and here … even a “firm” Beautyrest Recharge mattress can have more than 3" of very low quality materials in the top layers that would be a weak link in your sleeping system … even with a topper on top of it.
