Topper to soften up mattress

[Sensei]

Hey djdanko1,

Welcome back to the TMU forum and thanks for your question !

A few years ago I bought a Charles Rodgers mattress that is just too hard for my wife and I. We have tried toppers from kolhs and are still pretty stiff in the morning. Did some research on here, but still unsure.

We talked awhile last September about your Charles P. Rodgers St. Regis/ queen mattress’s firmness, and how you had tried some toppers from Kolh’s to soften its feel up a bit. I’m sorry to hear that you both are still experiencing morning stiffness and have yet to resolve that issue. We discussed a variety of topper options and materials previously in post #6, but perhaps we can look at your question from a different angle this go-round.

From the Charles P Rogers site, the St. Regis is described as having either a double thick Natural Latex comfort layer or a premium memory foam comfort layer; which comfort layer does your mattress use? The mattress description states that on a firmness scale, the natural latex is rated closer to the firmest comfort feel, while the memory foam is rated more of a medium firmness feel. With your side sleeping preference and her combination sleeping styles, it sounds as though neither of you are getting the right amount of “sinking into” the mattress and a topper could help ease that situation.

Would something like LaNoodle Cuddle Top or a thicker Latex mattress be better for this needs? Any recommendations?

Mattress toppers are a comfort choice, so your preferences for components, fabrications, thickness, etc. all play into your selection. We didn’t discuss your previous mattress before, but it would be helpful to know the type and brand of mattress you had before, as well as some of the qualities that you enjoyed about its feel and support. Do you like the feel of “sleeping on” a mattress or a mattress that has more of a “sleeping in” feel? Can you describe more on the constructions and types of Kohl’s toppers that you’ve tried with no success? A LaNoodle Cuddle Top Latex Topper could be a good choice; you may find this thread regarding consumers’ thoughts on the subject interesting. But again, it’s important to better understand a bit more regarding your comfort preferences as a guide for your final decision. Hope these thought starters help a little and looking forward to hearing more as your research progresses.

Thanks ,
