What is the difference between the 2-inch and 3-inch topper?

The 2-inch version changes how the surface feels, mainly adding softness. The 3-inch version adds more support and is the better pick for heavier sleepers or a mattress with worn support.

How do I choose the right firmness?

Firmness is set by ILD, a measure of how much force it takes to compress the latex. Side sleepers and lighter people usually do better with a softer ILD; back and stomach sleepers and heavier people with a firmer one.

Does it sleep cooler than memory foam?

Yes. Talalay latex is open-cell and breathable, so air moves through it. Memory foam traps heat, which is why hot sleepers often switch.

Is the organic cotton cover included?

No. The cover is an optional add-on. The topper alone is bare latex, so budget for a cover or use your own.

Can I use it on its own as a mattress?

A 3-inch topper can work as a minimal floor or guest bed for some sleepers, but most people use it over an existing mattress for comfort and support.

Will it help with allergies?

Natural Talalay latex is naturally hypoallergenic and resists dust mites and mold better than foam. It is not a medical treatment, but many allergy sufferers choose latex for this reason.

There's a science to sleep.

Find the right firmness formula for you. ILD stands for Indentation Load Deflection. In simple terms, it is a measurement of how hard or soft a surface is. More accurately, it's a measurement of the force required to compress any material by 25% of its thickness. Our Latex Topper is available in three different firmness options: soft (19 ILD), medium (28 ILD), firm (38 ILD).

Soft (19 ILD) - is excellent for any side sleeper seeking contour and pressure relief.

Medium (28 ILD) - offers the perfect balance of contour and support for any side to back sleeper. It's perfect for couples looking for a compromise between cushion and support.

Firm (38 ILD) - provides great pressure relief and support for stomach sleepers or any sleeper that prefers a firm sleep surface.

Extra Firm (44 ILD) - exceptional support with little contour

Be comfortable

Natural latex is the end of "tossing and turning," and sweating yourself awake. Latex's open-cell structure offers excellent circulation for cooler and comfortable sleeping. It's immediately responsive and provides pinpointed support which adjusts instantly with movement. No more sinking into your bed. No more buildup of pressure points. No more drowning in your own sweat. Absolutely no more sleep disruption.

Be clean

Natural latex is the ultimate, hypoallergenic sleeping surface on the market. Dust mites and many other organisms (mold, fungal organisms, mildew, and bacteria) can't live in latex due to its low PH. This makes latex the cleanest, most hygienic, natural sleep surface on the market.
