UPDATE: I Bought the Latex Layer and It Sleeps Hot

[Sensei]

Hey bassman2112,

Welcome to the the Mattress Underground Forum, thanks for the kind words on our efforts, good to have you here.

For those of us with high heat sensitivity (I grew up very far in the north of Canada), latex can indeed “sleep terribly hot.” It isn’t meant as an insult towards latex, nor towards the manufacturers who use it. I had spent ~$3k because I sincerely wanted to believe in it, but it simply wasn’t right for me. While I may not agree with Lesley’s other sentiments (thank you to Sensei, Phoenix, and the rest for putting in as much time as you do!) I wanted to at least express that very hot sleepers may want to exercise a bit of caution before fully buying in to Latex.

Your “caveat” to “very hot sleepers” is well-stated, makes me think of one of the basic concepts of the Mattress Underground, How to Understand Your Personal “Value Equation”, a previous post with some good advice from Phoenix. Thanks again for sharing your “high heat sensitivity” perspective .
