Is the extra-firm topper too hard for side sleeping?

For most side sleepers, yes. At 44 ILD with only 2 inches of thickness, there is little give at the shoulder and hip. Side sleepers usually do better with the firm or medium latex topper.

Will it make my mattress firmer or softer?

Firmer. Latex at this density adds support and only slight cushioning, so it is the right pick when your mattress sags or feels too plush.

Does it come with a cover?

No cover is included with this topper. A stretchy cotton or wool topper cover keeps it in place and protects the latex.

How long does the rubber smell last?

Expect a natural latex odor for the first few days. Air it out flat in a ventilated room before putting it on the bed.

Yes. Latex can be cut with a sharp serrated knife or electric carving knife, which is useful for RV beds and odd sizes.

Our take on the Latex Mattress Factory Firm & Extra-Firm Latex Mattress Topper

This is a 2-inch latex topper from Latex Mattress Factory in an extra-firm 44 ILD grade, sold in Twin. It is a single slab of natural latex, so it adds firmness and a little cushioning rather than softness, and it is breathable, hypoallergenic and biodegradable. The 44 ILD rating is at the top of the firmness scale, so it suits people who find their mattress too soft. No current price was available for this listing, so compare it against the brand's other topper firmnesses before buying.
