Classic Brands 2'' 100 Percent Latex Foam Mattress Topper with Removable Velour Cover

The topper & it's cover are well made. But I aired it outside for many, many days and could not get the odor to a comfortable level to use. I had to return it.

At first I thought it was to way to firm. But once you get used to it, it is very comfortable. And at 250 lbs. and one year later it still springs back and shows no body imprint. And my wife loved it from day one and never thought it was to firm.

This was exactly what I needed to go over my sleep number bed which had become very hard after the pillow top collapsed. For me decreasing the air just makes the whole thing feel hammocky. The firmness is exactly right. The smell out of the packaging is not too bad and disappears after airing for a day or two. I particularly like the fact that the latex foam does not hold body heat nor does it have the "drag" factor that drove me crazy with the memory foam. I only wish I had known the shipping dimensions; I paid to have it shipped thinking I could not get this into my car which turned out not to be the case - it would have fit nicely and saved me $28.

It is described as very soft, in reality it's so firm so it converted my bed into a table, cannot sleep on it, it's much firmer than my semi firm mattress. I am returning it

This topper is described as natural latex but not as 100% natural latex. The "Classic Brands" has a website which has a page describing the "Making of a Latex Foam Mattress", the page reads: "Latex milk is whipped into foam and mixed with SYNTHETIC LATEX and vulcanized (heating in the presence of sulphur)." http://www.classicmattress.com/latex_foam_topper.html This then is not 100% natural latex, since it is mixed with chemically made latex in the process. The strong chemical smell associated with opening the sealed plastic bag surrounding the new foam topper is NOT A LATEX SMELL*. The smell may or will dissipate, but what chemical is causing the smell? *(I have owned/used 100% latex matresses and a topper which had a slight latex odor.) 100% latex mattresses and toppers should have very little smell. The chemical odor could also be caused by too few rinses to remove chemicals which are added during the manufacture process. This topper has a very nice zip cover which is apparently washable, there is also a second lightweight cover under the main cover which does not seem to be removable. The combination of natural latex and synthetic latex to make the foam might be just fine - a good, and very useful product - and an especially good value including the cover - but for the CHEMICAL SMELL which may be due to not being rinsed enough, (with water), during the manufacture stage. (note, the smell is also not a sulfur smell)
