Do Toppers Slide??
Original Message Sep 10, 2007 8:19 pm |

Greetings. I'm in the market for a new mattress and have gone through old posts on this forum. The message is clear that placing a topper on a firm mattress is potentially wiser than buying a plus/pillowtop mattress since the topper can be easily replaced. I've heard from two colleauges that they experienced considerable "slippage" when they used a mattress topper. I would guess both were talking more about featherbeds than a foam topper. My question to you all... do latex toppers move around on you? Do you have to adjust them regularly (daily?)? Is there an easy way to avoid this?
Thanks

Ours did! Big time!
We have a 3'' latex topper on a 6'' latex core. The topper slided daily, for 3-7'' but it was not in a case: just the two pieces of latex under a fitted sheet. Finally our terry velour soft cover came in, fit the 2 piece in, zipped it up(boy, that was not easy!) and it's a wonderful complete mattress. The case felt a little tight, but it's flexible, so it was just perfect to keep the two pieces together, snug, inside.

You could also try velcro.

As you've discovered toppers will stay securely in place if you have some kind of cover on them. Even a standard mattress protector with elastic sides will keep toppers from sliding around.
With latex you want to keep it covered anyway. It's sensitive to UV light and will degrade if exposed to sunlight. The standard mattress protector with elastic sides did not work for me. Neither for me. But now with this flexible mattress case, it keeps the topper and core perfect in place, without interfering with the latex feel. http://stores.ebay.com/Memory-Foam-Products_360o-Zippered-Co vers-3-to12_W0QQfsubZ6
