Hi Pete,
I have a few questions about latex mattress toppers.
If I get a 2” soft latex mattress topper, will my fitted sheets still fit?
Also, do you still use a mattress protector with a topper?
Does latex sleep cooler than memory foam?
Does latex give off any smell?
Thanks, Karen
Hi Karen,
1)…The thickness of your mattress and the depth of your fitted sheet is information to which I am not privy. You will need to measure.
2)…You should always use a waterproof mattress protector to prevent perspiration for seeping into the upholstery layers of your mattress/topper.
Keeping your upholstery materials clean and dry enhance longevity and prevent odors from developing.
Here’s a link to the Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector that we use at home:

3)…Yes. Latex sleeps cool. Only memory foam sleeps hot.
4)…Latex has a slight odor of cake. However, you’d have to stick your nose in it to detect it. Less, still, if you buy the cover for your latex topper.
The best price for Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex is had from:
Latex for Less.
Here is a link to those toppers:
