Latex Mattress Topper on Traditional Spring Mattress

This website gives you tips on finding the best deals on latex mattress topper.

Various people have asked whether one can use a latex mattress topper on a traditional spring mattress and although generally it is not recommended, it surely can be done, and quite successfully at that. Not everyone can afford a latex mattress to start with, or many people aready have their traditional spring mattresses which are still quite good, so it's not worth throwing them away just to get a new latex mattress to match the topper.

In order to get the most out of this curious combination, you need to make sure that the coil unit is heavy duty enough for it. You might not be able to use a uniform ILD topper (such as Princess and the Pea in reverse), but if you have a latex mattress topper with extra support in the mattress sections that are sagging, you should be goodl to go. Many folks use extra material under the topper in the mattress area that is sagging. This will fill the empty void. Alternatively you could get a higher ILD in the destroyed area, however you have to keep in mind that the whole topper will be thicker this way.

Your best bet is to get a latex mattress topper with 1" thickness, in 2 different ILDs. For example 11 and 14 would work well. This way you could put 2 softer sections at the top and the stronger, firmer ones 2/3rd at the bottom, for example. Or just one softer at the top and the rest from the mid down. Make sure you use a tape measure and an electric meat carving knife in order to cut them to the relevant sizes. Once you put them on the mattress, they will stick together quite nicely. Even better, if you have a tight top sheet on the mattress, it will hold them together and make it impossible for the toppers to move around.

So with just a bit of imagination and trial and error, you can successfully use a latex mattress topper on a traditional spring mattress and you will experience quite a high level of comfort for the next years to come (at least as long as the traditional mattress is holding well and doesn't sag so much that you won't be able to fit in the void places with anything any longer).
