Purchased a 2” Celsion topper and zippered terry cloth cover from sleeplikeabear.com.

 

 

It was delivered yesterday and here are my impressions:

• Quality is about what I’ve seen from posted photos of latex on this forum. A few missing bits. seamed in approx center(king size)
• Smelled . My wife being allergic to almost everthing I worried about putting it on the bed right away but after returning from the YMCA we changed the sheet and put it on under the bottom fitted sheet (tight fit!)
• Smell didn’t bother either of us during sleep
• Hard to get into terry cover, ended up getting it as best I could then flipping over so zippered edge on bottom.
• Both enjoyed the cushioning
• My wife thought it was cooler than before without.
  • Temps are projected to be high 60’s low 70’s later this week
• Did not notice partners moving / re-positioning during the night

We plan on sleeping in this configuration for a while then will decide on next move …I’ll post any revelations “we” observe.

Need latex mattress help Please Original Message   Feb 25, 2010 3:22 pm

Thanks for the update rjb. Great to know it does what it claims. On another thread you said:

"I'm embarking on a quest to replicate, for my wife, the feel of a Pranasleep Wahe Guru but at a significantly lower price.

This is the first step, the topper. Next comes the FloBed I've been specing out. When I'm finished I plan on being 95-98% the same feel and quality, yet I will have spent less than half.

The Celsion is only my first step"

I'm so interested in following your progress on this quest. Please keep updating as you go.

Thanks,

Natalie

Of course that bed was designed for a deity with six arms. So, it might be hard to replicate.

what did it smell like?  I have always loved the smell of latex.  What ILD did you say it was?

  well put

Budgy can you find out how Latex International makes this Celsion topper?  What is in it?  Wouldn't they share with a mattress company person?  They are very secretive on their website about it.

Im curious to know as well....but I don't really do any business with these guys on a direct level...so I am a little hesitant to ask.  They may not want to divulge any info if some of the processes used are proprietary to them as well.

The ILD is 15 (trying to replicate the Pranasleep 10ILD, 2" top layer). As for the smell , it's hard to describe but initially (just out of the shrink bag) it was not something I would like to bury my nose in. Upon returning from our workout at the YMCA it wasn't quite as intense so we decided to make up the bed with it as the layer directly under the bottom fitted sheet.

Because my wife has enjoyed the difference in comfort from just this 2" topper, she has given me the "OK" to build the rest of the bed (a FloBed Natural Deluxe-Natural Talalay Latex Green Mattress). If it wasn't so late here I would be on the phone now!  I'm leaning toward F/XF/XF for both sides and believe my wife will get all the softness she says she likes from the substitution of the 2" Celsion topper in place of the FloBed 2" convoluted layer. Both have approx the same effective ILD but the Celsion is a full, non egg crate piece. Can't wait to sleep sans divet!  ( Let's see.....8:00AM PT would be 11:00AM here )

Just got off the phone with Dewey.....ordered the FloBed Can't wait for next Friday (when I should be getting delivery)!

Awesome rjb! (yes I'm from Ca. and yes we still say "awesome")

I hope you're well on your way to duplicate the "Pranasleep Wahe Guru".

Ditto what Leo said.
