| i guess what iam wanting to know is would their be any problems with just getting a twin latex topper? |
|
OMG is that ever a "loaded" question with many many different versions of "it depends" in almost every answer. I guess the most important of them would be why are you considering a topper in the first place? Phoenix |
| cause of pain and trying to get the right latex topper for me i have recent posts put my name in search |
|
It would be a lot easier if you put the information in this thread to save me (and others who may be able to help) some searching and reading :) It would also make it easier for others that are yet to come here to follow the flow of information that led to a possible solution to a specific problem Phoenix |

There is nothing wrong with doing that. There will be a noticable dropoff on the other half of the bed, so if you tend to sprawl out it may bother you. You might want to put put some folded up blankets or something on the other half to even it out a bit. Obviously the thicker the topper, the bigger the dropoff. Also, consider getting twin XL so at least the length is right. In the long run you may not be happy with the unbalance, so it will cost you more if you end up replacing it with a full queens size. You could ultimately get another twin XL and cut it to the right width. |

thanks sandman after reading your post i think i won't do it, like you said i may have to end up buying another twin xl and that cost more buy to seperate then one queen topper. and i think iam going with the latex topper dunlop plush from rocky mountain mattress. and those wool mattress pads you use how thick of a mattress will those work for?

| OR you can have one type/firmness level of topper on one side, and a different type on the other, so that you have the option of both. |

Part of the reasons for my questions about what you were trying to "get to" was because sleeping on the edge of a layer of latex can be very different from sleeping in the middle ... especially in a thinner layer. It is not as supportive on the edge. This would mean that if you only had 1/2 of the bed covered, you would have much less than this even for a "sweet spot". Phoenix |

I know he said 'queen', but my brain was thinking 'king' size bed, sorry. Yes, that would be too narrow to split, at least for me! This message was modified Oct 23, 2010 by Angel

| The queen should last longer as well, since it can be rotated. You are only using half at a time. |
