I was skeptical about trying anything but latex because I really wanted to go with "natural" latex topper for my latex bed, but couldn't find anything that would be acceptable. I was close to ordering 16 IDL latex topper, but Sean from SZ said that this soft latex would not last and he will not guarantee it.
So out of frustration I ordered non-natural Costco latex/memory foam hybrid topper. Let me mention that I never liked memory foam properties and I thought I would be returning the moment I received it, so it took me couple of days to open the box... As expected, some minor chemical smell but... the feel of the topper was excellent. I let it vent for a few hours before I put it inside my SleepEZ bed and zipped it with waterproof cover, so smell wasn't an issue. The topper didn't feel like a memory foam as I remember and had more springy feel, possibly due to having 2% latex in it. I slept on it for a few days and it had just right amount of support and softness for me personally. I did add wool topper to eliminate the hotness factor for this type of topper, but I may try without it as well.
