E.C.O. Luxury Latex 2-inch King-size Reversible Mattress Topper with Cover

I read this earlier review: "from kltpzyxm from Glen Carbon, IL., Jun 9, 2010" and did exactly as this reviewer recommended, (except I added a few more mattress pads into the mix and I used the wonderful "Prepac King Size Platform Bed with Storage Drawers in Cherry Finish" - Google it!!!). I saved BIG BIG bucks, & I got the King-Size Bed of my dreams! There is practically no "motion transfer" (I get out of bed & my wife doesn't even feel it, I can even leave a glass of wine on the bed & it won't fall over!!), it's nice & soft for sleep, firm enough for vigorous sex, it stays cool, and it doesn't sag - stays nice & even everywhere. Below please read the wise words of the Glen Carbon Genius!!!!! ----------------------------- ***Save 50%*** If you have priced Latex mattresses lately you know that they are very expensive. Most are composed of several (2 to 3 inch) layers of latex with a thin layer of wool on top and enclosed by a cotton mattress encasing. You can build your own All Natural Latex mattress for half price if purchased here! Here's how...Start by purchasing at Overstock.com: (4) "E.C.O. 2-inch Luxury Latex Mattress Topper". 8 inches total - This is soft All Natural Talalay latex rated at 19 I.L.D. (1) "Lambswool Mattress Pad". Adds 1 inch. Provides a layer between you and the latex which allows for better airflow. This is highly recommended! (1) "Allergy Control Cotton Pure Mattress Encasing". I recommend the 12 inch depth since depths of 12 inches and above feature a unique three-sided clamshell zipper opening for easy placement on your bed and because latex is soft, difficult to maneuver and easy to tear. This also keeps the layers together and prevents skewing. If 19 I.L.D. latex is too soft then substitute a layer with: (1) "Zoned 1.5-inch Latex Topper with Velour Cover". I have been in pain for years due to a back injury and was able to sleep only 2 hours at a time but now I have substantially less pain and can sleep much longer every night. *1 note - I waited to see if there would be an improvement and it took one week for my back to adjust to the change but it was well worth the wait. Take the money you saved by building your own latex mattress and build a second one for family or friends. They will appreciate it and appreciate you for many years.

Fabulous, wonderful, and I didn't experience any weird smells. It is so comfortable, I have a foam mattress under it from Overstock as well that is firmer and not as thick as advertised but this topper more than makes up for it. Yes it could rip, be careful, it is hot so I plan to put a really thick mattress cover on it, but the comfort! No more inner spring mattress for me ever! I have had it for months and it looks and feels brand new. Excellent quality.

I already have a latex mattress and another latex mattress topper -- a 3 incher. So, I am familiar with latex. Good latex is relatively resistant to taking body impressions. It gives under pressure and bounces back into shape when the pressure is off. That's one of the reasons I like it. My 3 inch topper has been slept on almost every night for 6 years and still does not show body impressions. Unfortunately, my husband and I slept on the E.C.O. 2-inch Luxury Latex King Mattress Topper for three nights and there were "valleys" where we slept and a noticeable "hill" in the middle of the bed. My husband and I are not large people -- probably a bit smaller than average. So this was both surprising and disappointing. I bought this topper because the other reviews were uniformly great. Now I wonder whether I got a defective topper or whether the other reviewers just didn't know what to expect from quality latex.

We bought a king size (Eastern) to match our bed, and were a little concerned that it drooped off the sides and the end. When our cover arrived (also on Overstock, recommended) it wouldn't fit without stuffing it in and causing lumps. We finally resorted to a bread knife, and cut a full four inches off the end of the topper, maybe two or three of the side. Not too big a deal, although we did have bits of latex to vacuum up. Then it fit easily into the cover, and although it's been less than a week, very happy so far: A few months ago we'd changed mattresses because my wife's lower back needed something firmer, but then I started getting mid-back issues from it being too hard for a side sleeper. With this on top of our very firm mattress, we're getting support plus "conformance"/comfort.
