Pure Green Natural Latex Mattress Topper - Firm - 3 Inch - Queen Size (GOLS Certified Organic)

Truly excellent product. At first I hated the 1-inch topper in firm because it was TOO firm. But within days it was epic. Restored a two-year old Casper mattress to comfortable and pain free sleep. Zero off gassing. Organic, good for planet. And our bed was transformed with just the 1-inch firm!

If you are looking to baby jump into trying organic bedding but don't want to spend $900 on your first small mattress, try this first. This is Dunlap latex and most will love it. It is a medium firm feel. I'm very, very sensitive.... times 10. I have an IKEA Harlanda sectional with a pull out queen so I can sleep downstairs when having surgeries. I couldn't manage the chemical smells on non organic mattresses. So, I didn't have a mattress in it for many months. Pricing organic latex sofa mattresses was $849 minimum, and not reasonable for us. I started looking for a thick firm topper that would work. Max space thickness I can use is 4 3/4" on pull out bed and 3" was the thickest topper I could find. This was my first purchase and I added the organic cotton cover. Otherwise it's just the latex. It fit the pull out and is working as a mattress just fine enough to do the job but if there were unlimited funds I would have bought a firmer proper sleeper mattress. I will need to get a sofa board to put under couch cushions when it's put away as the gap of 1 3/4" allow my cushion to sink just a noticeable amouny. But at $349 I think I paid, I saved a ton on a pull out organic latex mattress without chemicals. The organic cotton cover available with this is beautiful and super soft, even after washing. The latex is heavy for me so 2 people are best to put on, remove it, unless you have lots of time, muscles and patience. You can do it alone, but highly advise against it. This was a great purchase for this purpose. Never buying latex before, I wasn't sure what to expect. To me, as I'm super sensitive, it had a smell to me that does air out and go away eventually. Most don't smell anything, or a slight rubber smell that doesn't bother them. I did have to air it out several months for it to not bother me, but you may not need to. I have been told Dunlap latex has more smell than talalay latex and that Dunlap latex is a firmer feel than talalay. That is why I tried this Dunlap latex. Id recommend this for a mattress topper and for what I did, although on a couch bed it would be perfect it it were a bit firmer. I have also purchased an organic Dunlap latex, cotton, wool mattress and that one took way longer to air out and smelled way more to us because we can't remove the layers of the real full mattress to help it air out. I've been told you can ask a company for a latex slab to be aired out longer but imnnot awarenifnthis company can or eill. It's worth asking, and letting us know. However, this topper here, is great quality, great sponginess as expected, and really truly is organic without any chemicals. If you are the small percentage of those who truly would get sick to the smell in a new tire store, maybe look for wool and cotton only toppers. But please, try this as the warranty is wonderful to feel comfort in purchasing this. Remember that in any of my 4 out of 5 stars is a rating based on using this as a sole mattress on a pull out sofa.

Finally, we found the perfect topper. After researching several other toppers looking for the firm topper we felt we needed, we found one that works for both my husband and myself. Our situation? Both of us have degenerative discs...me in the neck requiring cervical fusion of 4 vertebrae and other discs that are just plain wearing out due to arthritis and age. My husband also has back issues...scoliosis due to a mild case of polio and disc issues in lumbar area plus shoulder pain, arthritis and assorted aches and pains of getting older. We're retired, in our latest 60s and both would benefit from losing some excess weight. Sleeping at night was uncomfortable to say the least. We replaced our mattress but wanted to keep it in good condition so we. bought a memory foam mattress topper at Costco and put it on the bed to start with. It began to show signs of flattening and not being supporative out after about 2-3 years. Replaced it with another brand at Costco and that one too began to do the same. The mattress had never been without a topper on it & it was in great condition so we tried sleeping without the topper. The bed felt great, firm and no aches or pains in the mornings. But we still wanted to protect our mattress from eventually sagging so the search was on for a different topper. We searched website after website for "the best topper for back pain"...and learned a great deal about the different materials and types of toppers. Density varies greatly too...2-3lb density is softer and 4-5 lbs firmer. Memory foam is the most readily available kind of topper, also the least expensive and to us they seem to offer the least support. We did purchase a "layered topper" of 4lb density on top with 5lb density underneath, ILD of 19 I think. Tested it out for less than 15 minutes and returned it the same day. Felt like we were being sucked into a marshmallow. That was supposed to be firm? More research taught us that latex is much firmer and lasts longer than memory foam with less if any "cratering" where you lay on it. There are two types of latex toppers, one (talalay) that is about 40% latex and the rest is fibers and other man made materials other is Dunlop. They are different methods of how the toppers are made. 100% latex is more supportive, no odor, and of course more expensive. Yep, you really do get what you pay for. We decided that 100% natural latex was what we wanted and Firm was what we needed. More research lead us to Pure Green. I spoke to Jennifer in their customer support and she inquired about our specific needs and gave us recommendations. We decided on the 2" firm topper that has a density of 5.9lbs and an ILD rating of 44. I'm so glad we did. It is firm, but it still cushions our hips and shoulders. Not being sucked down into the topper like with memory foam and we both wake up feeling about as good as 67 years old gets! One caution...this sucker is heavy!!! King sized must be around 50 lbs....the stickers on the box that say HEAVY Cautiion Lifting aren't just there because they are pretty (although they are). If you are looking for a firm topper, do your research and be sure to take a look at Pure Green100% latex toppers. We are very happy we did!

I have a very sensitive sense of smell. Odors just bother me, stress me out, and cause headaches sometimes. So after researching all types of mattresses and toppers, I chose to try this 2 inch firm topper, first. I am a single mom on a budget, who lives up a flight of stairs. Delivery, return, price, and product weight options are significant to me, just as much as overall comfort. Had to make my choice very carefully. Returning this thing would be a huge hassle for me. They do offer returns within 30 days, so I wouldn't be stuck with it, but I didn't want to try and put it back in a box, take it downstairs, and possibly to a mailroom, either. (I was able to get the box upstairs, end over end flipping) Once opened, the odor was very strong, I had a sore throat from it within minutes. I placed the topper on my bed, left the windows open and the fan on, and moved all of bedding to the living room. There is no guest bedroom, so i was going to have to endure this part the hard way, by sleeping on the living room sofa for a week. Wanted to give this topper every chance I could, without making myself ill. I asked a question about the odor in the questions section here, and received many replies, varying from people saying the smell never went away, and they hate it, to other saying they never smelled a thing. The company replied with recommending I leave the windows closed, as it was cold out, and let the topper air out at room temp. If the odor remained after a week or two, I should contact them for further evaluating. For a week I opened the windows during the day, when it was 60-70 degrees and very windy. Kept a fan on the topper, and closed the windows at night when the temp dropped. I also became concerned that the odor wasn't going away fast enough, and sprinkled dry baking soda all over each side, letting each side sit with the baking soda for over 24 hours. Vacuuming it out of the topper was a chore, with all the little holes that don't go all the way through the topper, but with aid of the vacuum brush attached to the hose it was doable, pressing in each set of holes, it took awhile. ( Flipping it alone did not remove all the baking soda from the holes, oddly enough. ) Maybe it wasn't important, but I'm detail oriented. After a week or so I noticed that when the windows were shut, and the fan was off, I didn't notice the odor as strongly. ( The baking soda made a big difference, imo ) So I made the leap of faith, and began making the bed. ** I had ordered another topper, a 2 inch thick, pure cotton pillowtop topper, to place on this firm one. I did this because I knew that if the natural latex did in fact have an odor, I could have a layer of something between my nose and the latex, being a stomach and side sleeper. Also, I thought I may need something soft, if the firmness was too much for sleeping on my side.** So I placed a waterproof cover, and extra bottom sheet directly on the topper, (as I did not order the cover for the topper) then the cotton topper, then my sheets. My poor mattress is 10 years old, it is innerspring, has dips and valleys, so it was rotated to start with, but the point of all of this was to not replace it, as I just can't afford it right now. It has caused me a lot of back pain, and I needed some relief. The firm, 2 inch, natural latex topper from Sleep On Latex was the right choice for me, in the end. Despite the off gassing period, and having to give up my room for a week. I still smell it from time to time, when I roll over and air moves through the layers, but it does not bother me. In fact, I tried to remain positive throughout the entire process, so my brain was never THAT upset over it, in the first place. Now I almost enjoy the odor, it brings comfort because it smells like my *new* bed, and my bed is a good thing, it's my sacred space. Side sleeping is awesome with this set up. I weigh 180, I'm 5'3. The dip in the center of the innerspring mattress can still be detected when i sleep on my stomach, there is still pain, and a may place something between the innerspring and the plywood it sits on, to tweek it. But I find i'm naturally sleeping on my side more often, sleeping through the night, not tossing and turning in pain. Not waking up stiff, sore and barely able to walk. I will sleep 8 hours now, without waking, except to flip sides once or twice. I sleep with two dogs, they have not had any bad reactions, or breathing issues with the new set up. The firm topper alone feels awesome, and I may switch to just using it own its own. If i had ordered it in 3 inch, I may not feel the dip of the innerspring at all, but I can't get too much higher, or I won't be able to get sheets on the bed. I just decided on the soft topper, as well, instead for now. Maybe one day i will order another firm topper in 1 inch, and remove the soft one. bottom line is now I have something to work with, and I can finally sleep in comfort. I give 4 stars because nothing is perfect, but this is close to it, for what it is. Also... no odor triggered migraines! try not to stress!!

I had been suffering lower back, peritoneal, hip and neck pain that was getting worse day by day for the past several years. It was always worst in the mornings getting out of bed with twisting and bending both painful. I tried sit-ups, back rolls and sleeping on a yoga mat. All helped a little bit, but it would be back to square one every morning. Amazon showed me an ad for a great sale on a TempurPedic topper and this got me thinking and researching. I had tried TempurPedics and they always slept way too hot for me. Some cursory reviews of sleep quality websites suggested latex as being good for back pain. I'm a 50 y/o male, 5'11, 180 lbs and purchased a queen-sized 3" firm topper w/ cover. I have an 8 year-old BeautyRest Luxury Firm with Gel and Memory foam which doesn't seem like it should be old. The topper came rolled up with the cover already on. It was indeed heavy, but pretty easy to unroll once on my bed. The first night, the topper was like an exercise gym. People have noted that the latex is like a spring or like Jell-o. It is both in that it bounces back vertically and allows you get a wobble going laterally. As others have noted it really does feel like you are floating and the topper pushes back everywhere. The energy of the topper makes it so you can fix two or three points of your body and get some motion going to target and work out any muscle or joint. I could feel the sore spots from different insults to my back over the years from lifting weights the wrong way to walking in bad shoes to pinching a nerve once when sneezing to strongly. It definitely seemed like things were off to a good start. The second night more tweaking, adjusting and aligning, but somewhat less. By the first three days I could definitively say that my routine of morning pain way on a very likely trajectory of going away. By the first week I was getting out of bed with near zero pain. It's been 3 weeks now and it has been pretty much steady progress. I told someone and they were somewhat skeptical and said they would ask again in another 3 weeks... I sleep mostly on my back, but also spend time on my sides and stomach. I have started sleeping without a pillow when on my back as this allows me to work out my neck the best. When researching, I was worried that firm might be too much for a side sleeper. Firm is perfect and still has plenty of give for side sleeping. Stomach sleeping is awesome and I can also use my laptop on my stomach comfortably. It's also more comfortable than before when sitting upright against a backrest (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792QJBMT) to use my laptop on a stand (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLSRXD1). Go with firm if you have any sort of back issues. I had a little soreness in my elbows and knees the first couple nights, but this has gone away completely. The firm also seems to be good for general circulation in my lower legs. When deciding what to purchase I came so close to purchasing a 2" from one of the dozens of websites that sell similar toppers. I was fortunately able to cancel my purchase when I found out that I could get a 3" for less and that it had a return option. Reading online, there are only a few manufacturers of latex globally, so even though one mattress manufacturer may tell you that their foam is better, they are probably all getting it from the same sources. The Pure Green website is quite good and their blogs and FAQs have useful info. Pure Green was one of the few companies to provide careful detail on how they measure ILD firmness numbers. I was debating over Dunlop vs. Talalay as Talalay sounded better. I somehow thought that Talalay might have fewer odor issues because it is manufactured differently by injecting CO2. Apparently it is the blended/synthetic latex made from petrochemicals that has more odor potential and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while organic carries much less odor potential. There was a small odor to this topper in the first couple days, but really only when you have your nose right up to it. I am quite sensitive to annoying smells and the odor is virtually zero and a non-issue after a week or two. Also, Talalay is supposed to potentially be more breathable and cooler than Dunlop. I have found this topper to be sleep super cool, even cooler than my BeautyRest with gel. So while Talalay could potentially even be cooler, it should not be a big decision factor. Dunlop is supposed to have better firmness, stability and durability than Talalay. Dunlop uses more Latex than Talay, so the fact that manufacturers are willing to do this from a cost perspective suggests value in Dunlop. One quote that made me think was, "Dunlop Latex, not watered down Talalay Latex!". The thing that clenched the decision was reading about complaints of an uncomfortable glued seam right down the middle of a queen-sized topper. Talalay is limited in the size they can manufacture, so anything above a twin will include these glued seams (two for a king-sized apparently). I still want to try out Talalay someday though... On decision of 3" or 2", after reading the reviews, 3" is generally preferred and some people had regrets about 2", so spending a little extra for 3" was a no-brainer. For cover or no cover, there are some 3rd party covers, but not significantly cheaper. 3rd party comes with risks of not fitting, etc. One review mentioned that latex can tear easily and that a cover is very hard to get on, so given the fact that they ship this with the cover on, it seemed like a good idea. One thing I contemplated was a no-spill mattress cover. There is some risk that spittle (especially when sleeping without a pillow) and other fluids could get easily absorbed by the latex. They make them pretty thin and undetectable these days. Maybe later. One review suggested deep fitted sheets to go with the topper. I bought a set of 24"-depth microfiber sheets for $20 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SYVSX6C) and have been quite happy with them. They are a little thin, but cool and comfy. I am super grateful to the manufacturers and sellers of this mattress topper. It has really been a game changer for my back and overall health. You can't go wrong. Just buy it!

I just bought a very expensive mattress to replace my very old one that was giving me back pain. I accidently bought a medium firmness mattress thinking my back pain troubles were behind me. Turns out the soft mattress made things worse and i couldnt do anything about what i had just purchased. I was looking for a corrective solution that would add firmness to my accidently bought too soft mattress and i was TOTALLY skeptical when the topper arrived. It didnt feel particularly firmer than my mattress, and this is not a cheap topper, so i thought i made another mistake. NO! I wanted to have an actual nights sleep before i wrote my review.....It added the firmness so that i didnt wake up with back pain! Its a miracle honestly. It saved me from my purchase mistake with the mattress. I recommend the 2" Firm topper, if you find yourself in the same predicament. It will add the firmness you need! GREAT purchase, totally worth the cost. Now my mattress feels as expensive and meets my expectations as I hoped it would, with this topper being added.

No weird or toxic smells. I am building my own mattress and this was an integral part of it. It is firm and bouncy at the same time. I wanted organic and I wanted quality. This is it! It fits perfectly on the queen frame and inside the bamboo topper cover I purchased separately for it. I highly recommend buying from Pure Green. I have one layer left (I did 1 extra firm, 1 firm and 1 medium} to purchase and that will be a medium Talalay comfort layer. Do yourself a favor and go with Pure Green. I haven't gotten paid or received any products from them I haven't paid for, I'm just recommending and excellent product.

I was skeptical of this product upon receiving it. I ordered a firm, but holding it in my hands it felt like it wouldn't actually be firm. After installing and using it.... I have to say that my four year old frim mattress feels nearly like it did new. The added height, which was weird at first is also something I have grown to really appreciate. I haven't noticed any increase in temperature in my sleep from before, my mattress being a regular firm queen with pillow top. The support of the topper is uniform to the edge. I will say that I'm a heavy guy, 250+, and the support is comfortable, my back and hips seem less strained. Installation: Upon receipt I unwrapped the topper and allowed it to rest for a night. I'm not saying it had a smell, as it did not. Neither did it need to inflate itself. I allowed it to rest for two reasons. The first being that it is something many, including the manufacturer, recommend; the second I received it late afternoon on a work night and didn't want to mess with it till the weekend. The topper is heavier than you'd think, so if you're on the smaller or less strong side I'd advise getting an assist or putting the topper on long side first about half-way and then turning and pulling from the other side. Accessories: I really didn't want to spend the advertised amount for a cover. Also, I did want something to help with maintaining placement on my 18 inch existing mattress. So I ordered this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2G9VFM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 to go over the topper and down under the edges of the mattress. I was not disappointed. This cover with stretchy sides is very thin and lightweight, but its also soft on top. I was worried my existing deep-pocket sheets wouldn't fit my now 20-21 inch set-up, so I ordered https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SV57C1L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 to go with and was pleased wit the fit and quality. While it may not be needful for you to do so, I would recommend doing a little measuring of your sheets and mattress, adding the additional height of this product, to save making more orders. P.S. The reason for four starts and not five is that like any other foam-type product you need to be careful with handling to prevent tearing small divots out.
