I hereby withdraw and recant all comments about overstock.com. I can't have it both ways.

Overstock recanted with this email:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I must inform you that my initial email stating that Overstock.com and costumers were being "seemingly misled" was entirely incorrect. I wrote that "I made my decision in haste" because I immediate took your side before checking my facts; I falsely accused a company of misleading us. My previous email also had a mistake, only 5% of the items that were sent to our customers were found to be the incorrect density. The reason this error occurred was because the incorrect inventory was pulled at the time rather than a mislabeling or incorrect formula being used. David P. Customer Care, Overstock.com

There is also someone selling Venus on ebay.  Their color is blue too.  I wonder if theirs is legit?

They have not contacted me and I bought the Venus and the one I got is blue and I stated many times in this forum that I was disappointed in it because it does not feel any different than the Sensus which was much cheaper. 
My wife is using the Venus and she likes it okay but I still feel we got ripped off so if they contact me I will switch with them for the real stuff.

Like I said, I'm going to purchase some and figure out the density myself. Until then, I can't say anything. I was under the STRONG impression that Venus foam was red and 4lb Aerus foam was blue. I even contacted Foamex and they confirmed this. I don't know what (if anything) is going awry or why, but I'm going to find out. Until then, patience. And Jim, my only advice to you is to "do the math" and figure out your foam's density. I have nothing more to add.

I still got the some weird, gray foam instead of white memory foam. The so-called Simmons mattress pad, not even close. I took my foam to a scale, it didn't weigh what it was suppose to. I used to like Overstock and if it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have been paying such close attention.

Thanks, Alice
