I'm looking for a good mattress topper for my Saatva Luxury Firm. I can't have latex. I'm sleeping on a microcoil topper but it is just not enough pressure relief. I also sleep really hot so that's important to note. I'm considering the Saatva graphite memory foam topper or the Dormeo topper. Any recommendations welcome

I have a premium Dormeo topper that is less than 2 years old. It has developed ridges that are painful to sleep on. I tried subbmitting for a warranty replacement but they denied the claim. That's after I spent a ton of time taking the requested pictures. I will never buy from them again because their 10 year warranty is trash and they do not honor it.

Hopefully this information will help someone in the future who is considering buying a Dormeo topper, but maybe is worried that it's a scam "made for TV" product.

I have an expensive, Australian Peace Lily all-dunlop-latex 9" king mattress, that's firm on one side and medium on the other side. I don't know the ILD ratings off-hand, but we use the medium side and it's definitely accurately what I would call a "medium" firmness.

I'm 5'9" 185 and my hips are mattress-sensitive, and I'm a side-sleeper, and on just my mattress my hips were a little sore so I bought a soft Sleep On Latex 2" king (I think these are sold as more Talalay-like Dunlop) topper on the mattress.

My hips were still a little sore with the topper after a few weeks, so then I put a 3" "premium" Dormeo foam topper on top of the topper. It's nice, and it's comfortable, and well-made, but it too is definitely a "medium" firmness as well. I used it for a few weeks. It held up well, and hasn't sagged or had any issues.

It's just that now I had a medium latex mattress with a soft latex topper that really feels like a medium, with a medium foam topper on top of that. So medium/medium/medium isn't really getting me anywhere lol.

Due to the Dormeo being a medium, I still had hip soreness, just like I had on all $3k-worth of stuff I'd tried sleeping on thus far...

And so I ended buying and using a 2" super-soft Avacodo Talalay latex topper with the fancy $100 wool cover. That finally solved most, but not all of my hip-soreness.

Long story short, for anyone considering a Dormeo topper, it's nice, definitely not a scam junk "made for TV" topper. It's well-made, its cover is nice, it has had no structural issues. It's just medium firmness, so maybe not ideal for most side sleepers.

Anyhow, I just wanted to let you guys know in case you were considering buying one of the Dormeo $300 3" toppers.

I unfortunately am probably going to go back to the softest memory foam instead. That's the only time my hips don't hurt.

Is Foam Factory foam worth trying?

25 November 2024 -

I bought a Sleep Number bed, which absorbs too much heat and feels hot

I am trying to solve this with a mattress topper of some sort.

I tried a 2 inch Sleep On Latex topper, which seems okay, but it seems to retain a fair bit of her still.

I a wondering if a Dormeo topper will feel as cool and retain as little heat as the spring mattresses I used to sleep on.

A little skeptical because it does contain foam, but seems like there are a lot more work hand compared to my Latex topper?

Also wondering how much heat dissipation I can even expect onto of a the Sleep Number mattress which seems to have foam and retain heat

Edit: This is the mattress, sheet and protector I have today.

Mattress protector: Total Protection Mattress Pad, FlexTop King

r/Mattress on Reddit: Dormeo mattress opinions?
22 January 2021 -

We went mattress shopping today, 1 local latex mattress manufacturer and sleep country Canada. New to this whole rabbit hole of materials and shady tactics.

One of our top picks was a king sized Dormeo Three mattress which would be a floor model coming in from somewhere else for 2400$

It seems hard to find a lot of information or reviews on Dormeo, this also appears to be the newest version of the mattress. With it being 15 inches tall, and only on the Canadian market...

One common theme I saw in reviews was the foam cracking or sagging after 9 months to a year.

Any advice?

My spouse and I have different sleep surface needs. I want plush, he wants firm. Our tempur-pedic is too firm for me but the latex topper was too soft and made it hard for him to turn over. Looking for something that works for us both. I would love a sleep number but that is out of my price range.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Seeking Info on Dormeo One Mattress – Confused by Dormeo Model Variations Across Countries
30 March 2024 -

I've been deep in the mattress research hole after some shopping in Canada, and the one mattress that keeps sticking out to me is the Dormeo One. But I’ve noticed there’s surprisingly little information on it, especially when it comes to reliable reviews.

It seems that Dormeo models vary depending on the country – the Canadian models are Dormeo 1/2/3, and they don’t even appear on the US website. The UK version offers even more models that are completely different from either the US or Canada. Even the covers look different, so it’s hard to tell if we’re even dealing with the same mattresses across borders.

Is this normal in the mattress industry, or am I just noticing it now because I’m researching? I’m beginning to wonder if this is a tactic to limit online reviews by constantly changing model names and varying models by country.

I can find reviews, but as you can imagine, a review for the Dormeo 2 or 3 isn’t necessarily helpful when I’m trying to understand the Dormeo One. It's tough to gauge what’s real feedback and what’s marketing fluff.

If anyone has any insights into why companies operate this way, I'd love to hear them! And if you have the Dormeo One specifically, I'd be grateful to hear about your experience. How long have you had it? How is it performing? I’ve never been a foam person, but of all the firm mattresses I’ve tried, this one seems to hit a sweet spot for me.

Thanks for any help!

My mattress is too firm. I want the softest, cloud like, mattress topper that I can melt into that is on the market. I don’t want to have to fluff it. Price isn’t a concern. Please let me know which plush mattress topper you think is the best.

does your mattress have a return or comfort policy and are you still within that window?? when you’re in pain, sometimes it’s worth looking at a replacement rather than just trying to cover it up. a topper can help in the right situation. since you said your mattress is too firm, a soft topper could cradle your body and take some of the pressure off. they work best at softening, not the other way around. what’s your normal sleep position? side sleepers generally need the most plush cushioning, back sleepers do well with something a little more balanced, and stomach sleepers usually need a thinner layer so they don’t sink too far in. I like this one only because it has breathable cotton on top and despite the filling it doesnt turn lumpy/overheated. in case you’re unsure exactly how soft you need, it helps to test toppers in person. some stores will have latex, foam, or pillow-top styles out on display. height and weight make a difference too: on a thinner topper you might bottom out, while a thicker or plusher one gives you more sink. i’ve found that testing a couple in person is the fastest way to figure out whether a 2" or 3" style actually feels like a hotel bed. if in-person isn’t possible, at least look for a brand with a trial or solid return policy, that way you’re not stuck if it doesn’t match what you had in mind.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Update on mattress topper experience
12 April 2022 -

A few months back I asked for advice on mattress toppers (here), and benefited from the expertise and wisdom of several members of the community. Thanks again for all your help! I wanted to try to give back by providing an update on what I tried & where I landed, in case it was helpful to anyone.

I ended up trying 3 mattress toppers on my bed for several nights to several weeks. Spoiler alert: I ended up with the Novaform ComfortLuxe.

  • I tried the Tempurpedic Supreme first, after finding I could try it out from Amazon but still be able to return it with the return policy. BOY was I glad I had that option! This mattress topper felt like sleeping on a Laffy Taffy. It was hard as a brick* when you first laid on it, and then it would start to loosen up in the area immediately surrounding my body. But if I needed to turn over or adjust, it was crazy -- I had to physically fling myself and throw down hard to be able to settle into a new position. My husband felt the same. It was interesting when you had sunk in enough, I will say it felt supportive. But overall this was not at ALL what we were looking for. *I definitely prefer a softer experience so take this with a grain of salt please.

  • I tried the Tempurpedic cooling topper as well, also with a return option. This was much better than the supreme (for our tastes). I was so excited when I first took it out because it felt soft, giving, and plush, just what I was hoping for. Weirdly though, by the time it was in the cover and under my sheets, it did not feel that soft or plush -- the cover muted much of the feel. So, after a few nights of trying that out (meh -- not bad, but not what I had hoped), I removed the cover to see if that helped the plushness come through. It helped -- but was still not very plush, and I didn't relish the idea of having spent a bucket of money (it was $$$$$) on a topper only to remove one of the main selling points. I decided to try another topper (below) to decide whether it was worth the huge upgrade in price.....

  • So, I decided to try the Novaform ComfortLuxe from Costco. This was so much cheaper than the tempurpedics (it was under $200 vs. ~$500-600 at the time I purchased). It has turned out to be remarkably comfortable. The cover is not as fancy or luxurious as the tempurpedics, but it totally does the job. It is more comfortable than either of the tempurpedics -- meaning soft and plush (what I was looking for). I am really very happy. And, after trying this one, I decided there was no way it was worth the high markup for the tempur cooling topper, esp since this was ultimately more comfortable.

Based on what I have read from others, I must really be on the soft side of the spectrum for finding the tempurpedic supreme unappealingly hard, so please take my comments above in that light. But, for someone looking for a soft, plush mattress topper, I highly recommend checking out the ComfortLuxe. We have apparently been sleeping on it for around 6 months (how time flies), and it's just as comfortable as ever -- no apparent wear, dips, impressions, etc. (Plus, you have Costco's guarantee if it goes wrong.)

Happy to answer any questions.

So I have also been on the topper hunt. Thank you for your reviews! I have a Bear hybrid mattress. I love it. My entire body below my shoulders loves it (and I have a crappy lower back, so need lots of support). However, my shoulders don't love it. I thought to get a topper. I tried: Nest Alexander Signature Cooling 2" Topper. I was stuck in mud. It was soft, but it felt difficult to move, and I toss/turn a lot, so I did not like it. Gave it to my dad. Sleep on Latex Soft 1". Didn't feel much difference at all. Returned it. Sleep on Latex Soft 2". Felt like a dream. It was amazing...for about 1.5 years, then my lower back started having trouble again. I'm not sure if the topper was degrading or getting too soft or what. I was sad. Passed it on to a friend. Sealy Essentials 3" Memory Foam Mattress Topper. I got this because a hotel I went to that had the best bed said they used this. They lied. This was way too soft and just felt like no support. Lower back issues. Tempurpedic Supreme 3". This was recently on a 40% off sale! TP is supposed to be the best, right? I was so excited, I got one for us and the guest room. Holy cow it is firm. Like really firm. I have had mid-upper back pain (in between or slightly lower than shoulder blades) for a month now. I keep thinking I'll get used to it, but I'm not. It sort of feels like cardboard. Then your pokey points sink in. So it's hard, but then you sink, so maybe not. Side sleeping is fine - the back sleeping seems to be the problem. I'm so sad! I thought for sure this was it. But my upper back hurts so much, I'm starting to realize that maybe I just won't get used to it. And since I got it from their site, I can't return it. We've had two guests stay with us for 4 days each, and both said it was fine in the guest room - but I am thinking that they were just being polite. UPDATE: So I put a quilted mattress protector over the topper. This prevents me from sinking in too far and has stopped my upper back pain! but now it's the reverse - back sleeping is great but side sleeping hurts my shoulders. Sigh. UPDATE2: I took the mattress protector, and everything else, off. So it was just the topper under the sheet. Actually that wasn't too bad. After 25 days, I was getting pretty decent sleep (80 on my FitBit). Not great, but not terrible and it was starting to get a little more comfortable. Side sleeping was actually good - back sleeping still a slight issue. I just wasn't relaxing in it though still. My husband loved it though. I have heard you have to wait at least 30 days, but I'm giving up at 25. I will try the NovaForm! I just want a good sleep, where I don't wake up with a sore lower back, sore mid/upper back, or sore shoulders. Or sore anything! Thank you!

So when looking at memory foam toppers the best metric to measure quality will be the density. Not to be confused with firmness, for memory foam its density and firmness are not necessarily related. You will want to consider the feedback on firmness to try to match your own personal needs. This can be difficult because there are all sorts of body types and preferences out there, so for every topper that exists there will be people saying its too firm, and people saying its too soft. Generally speaking the heavier you are the firmer you need, as you will bottom through a topper that is too soft and it will actually provide insufficient pressure relief. Some vendors will tell you the firmness, the vendors I like will tell you its ILD, which is a metric to measure the compression for comparison of firmness. But for most youre stuck sifting through reviews and trying to get a feel for how often people say its too soft, vs too firm, and making a judgement based on that. Not easy when no one is telling you their weight and sleep position. With all that blabbering out of the way. Youre already looking a 2 very popular affordable options. Both are around 2lb density memory foam which is on the low side. There are cheaper toppers made by companies like Linenspa, but they will be even worse quality than what you are looking at. One that offers a slightly better value is This Amazon Basics gel topper which is about 2.5lb density memory foam for $75. So mediocre quality for a good price, not a terrible deal. You would just want to be sure the feedback on the firmness matches your preferences.

I’ve never tried either of those brands. But I can recommend mattress toppers from Sleep365. Their toppers are GOTS-certified organic, safe, and non-toxic. You can pick wool or latex, so you can get whichever works best for maintaining your body temperature. I live in a hot climate, so I have the latex one, and I love it. The outer cover is washable too, which is a big help for me since my dog likes to hang out on the bed, and occasionally, he’s messy.
