Hi Folks, Back to experimenting with surgery mattress... tried my "stack" with and without even a relatively thin 10 year old basic cotton skirted pad (JC Penney)... no more than 3/16 inch thick... and the difference was huge. Much better without the pad.. which stiffened up and firmed up my top layers of 4 lb mem foam and 19 lb latex so that the comfort supplied by them without the pad was.... almost unnoticeable! So soft and flexible pad is very important, as many here have commented. So here is the question: which of these do you have. like, and recommend.. or would you choose?
1. Walmart (Sandman's) Out of stock but $169 delivered? 2. St. Dormeir $169 free shipping at cuddledown.com - Nonreturnable 3. Natura washable $169 at Bed & Bath order online only.... + 8% sales tax + $15 shipping o= $198 maybe less 20% coupon... but returnable?
I am inclined to go with returnable Natura, though folks here rave about St. Dormeir. Thoughts, anyone? thanks! shovel99 This message was modified Oct 6, 2010 by shovel99

I agree with what Sandman said. I have the Natura washable wool pad and love it, BUT if I had to order again today I'd get the Dormeir for two reasons-softer stitching lines and stretchy sides. I found the best price on the Natura at : http://thecleanbedroom.com/Organic_Mattresses/Mattress_Pads/Natura_Cotton_and_Wool_Mattress_Pads.htm With little effort you can find a code online that gives you another 10% off. I think I paid $137 for Queen size with free shipping. I also visited their showroom in Kittery, ME before I ordered from them online. |

This one might be of interest although not returnable if used http://www.shepherdsdream.com/p-23-organic-wool-washable-mattress-protector.aspx |
| Thanks to All. Will report back on any choices and results. |

Doesn't seem like there are many choices if you just want a simple fitted cotton mattress protector. I found this on Amazon. I guess you either get a thicker pad which will affect the feel, or just a glorified sheet. This might be a bit thicker than a sheet, so possible it would work a bit better. There is also the Tempurpedic protector which should not affect the feel that much. Says breathable, but waterproof so not so sure how well it would breathe. |

I will admit, had it not been for the folks touting the pad on this site, I would have walked away from the Dormeir mattress pad. It does not look like a quality item at first glance, IMO. The lady pulled it out of its package because I wanted to see how thick/thin it was and I was like "eek!". I just didn't expect it to look like it does, and its rather scratchy. So I have it on my new (one week old) Sam's Club "American Sleep Organic" mattress, which is latex. I could tell a difference immediately after putting it on. I've been lounging in bed for about 5 hours now, and it helps with temperature regulation. This message was modified Oct 21, 2010 by Angel

I took the Dormeir off last night, I much prefer my mattress without it. If anyone is interested in it (king size), send me a PM. Thanks! |

I noticed this tonight for anyone who may be interested. It doesn't say so but I'm pretty sure it's the Natura ... exactly the same features, look, and even name ... and it's the least expensive I've seen anywhere. Phoenix |
| Good catch Phoenix. I noticed the other night when browsing that they are selling one of Natura's pillows, so I think you are right. |
