Topper?

Hi debating,

Thank you. When you say that one which foam do you mean? latex included? polyurethane foam? or just memory foam?

I’m not clear what you are asking … could you clarify your question.

Would a latex bad breathe under the artificial foams?

The upper layers and components in a mattress will have a bigger effect on breathability and temperature regulation than the deeper layers in a mattress but latex in general is more breathable than polyfoam which in turn is more breathable than memory foam.

While it’s not possible to quantify the sleeping temperature of a mattress for any particular person with any real accuracy because there are so many variables involved including the type of mattress protector and the sheets and bedding that you use (which in many cases can have just as significant an effect on sleeping temperature as the type of foam in a mattress) and on where you are in the “oven to iceberg” range and because there is no standardized testing for temperature regulation with different combinations of materials … there is more about the many variables that can affect the sleeping temperature of a mattress or sleeping system in post #2 here that can help you choose the types of materials and components that are most likely to keep you in a comfortable temperature range.

So far I tried my old topper (Polyurethane foam,1.5" eggcrate) yet I still have some pressure so what would be a softer option at this point without compromising support?

I don’t know the specifics of the topper you purchased so I can’t make any meaningful comments about it or how soft it was relative to other toppers but if a 1.5" topper was still too firm for you then it’s probable that you were feeling too much of the firmness of the mattress underneath it and you may need a topper that was either thicker or a topper that isn’t convoluted so that it can isolate you more from the firmness of the mattress underneath it (you can use the topper guidelines I linked in my last reply as a very rough guideline for thickness).

I’m not sure if memory foam toppers the best bet for both sleeping positions.

Assuming that the quality/density of the topper is suitable for your weight range … the type of foam (memory foam, polyfoam, latex foam) would be a preference and budget choice rather than a “better/worse” choice. Your own testing on different types of foam materials is the most reliable way to know which type of material you tend to prefer.
