Re: Latex, sleeps hotter than foam

I remember reading wome where that dunlop latex sleeps hotter than talalay. I believe it is denser and does not breath as much. That may be an issue with your Costco all dunlop mattress. I do find that talalay latex heats up. With a wool topper and being winter it is not a problem. Not sure what summer will bring. I have not found much difference between the talalay and the more breathable memory foams at the top layer. Sensus (less breathable) did seem hotter when I tried it, but that was a while ago.

I don't know because I have been sleeping on foam for years, so maybe I've just gotten used to it being hot in the summer. I thought it was just the hotter weather, not the foam but who knows, maybe it's the foam? I do know that sometimes I get really hot in the summer. However, having slept on every type of foam known to man (  ), I have not noticed one being hotter than another. UPDATE: Thursday, February 25, 2010 I take the above statement back. I put the Dunlop 1.75" Medium (-Firm) on my mattress the last 2 nights and I noticed it sleeping noticeably hotter; that is, unless it was just coincidence. But I think not. Last night I added wool and it still felt hotter than before with just the Talalay. It's hard to say for SURE, but if I had to guess I'd say the Dunlop does add heat to the mattress, more so than the Talalay.
