My roommate and a friend have a cheap Amazon mattress + foam topper combo that I also found comfortable and would like to get. I am thinking of splurging on a nicer topper than they did; I am torn between the lucid 4” gel memory foam topper and the sleep on latex pure green natural latex 3” topper.

I was also looking at the saatva graphite mattress topper, so if it’s good I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I am a 5’11” 200lb side sleeper and have never chosen my own mattress before so I have analysis paralysis. I live in a very hot and humid climate so I’d like something that can keep me relatively cool. Any advice would be nice!

I bought the Lucid gel-infused, ventilated 2” mattress topper on Amazon. It has small holes all over it which is what provides the ventilation. Is this enough to not ruin the cooling features of my mattress?

I woke up yesterday with a very stiff neck and I suspect my firm mattress is to blame. I also purchased a cervical support memory foam pillow, so hopefully that helps.

Edit: I exchanged the 2” for the 3” Lucid topper. It’s awesome! It does get a little warm but not bad. The true test will be a heat wave. It’s so comfortable though. I do worry that it’s too plush to provide proper support but the mattress is just way too firm.
