I am interested in a pocket/latex mattress, and have read your comments about possibly combining a pocket mattress with a latex topper rather than an inbuilt combination, but do you have any recommendations for where to buy a latex topper??
They seem to be very highly priced, but not very forthcoming about the quality of latex for your money. Is buying a £300-500 pocket and then £200-300+ for a topper a better investment than a £700-1000 combined mattress??
I am looking for a king size (hence the higher price of mattress) I am 5'4" and average about 10 and a half stone but have suffered with back pain for about ten years (probably partly due to bad mattresses!!!) Thanks.... .
Hi Christina.
Your bodyweight indicates that support is less of a consideration than comfort.
In your case I would opt for the mattress + topper combo.
be sure though that the mattress (support) is not overly firm - Look at our Origins Comfort as an example and a 2cm Latex topper will be more than adequate for protection and additional comfort.

I must admit, a quick search proved quite difficult to locate an acceptable latex topper and as you rightly say, rather lacking with any relevant detail (same problem as mattresses I feel).
Please let me know what you find.
As a secondary note, do not dismiss a feather and down topper - look at Pillow and Duvet Warehouse.
I have just ordered a new one (yet to be delivered) which seems to be a good product for a good price (Duck Down Dual Chamber - Double £60.) Hope this helps.
