What is best latex topper to soften mattress?

Jane asked

Hi there, I’ve just bought a medium firm (3000) pocket sprung mattress and every morning I wake with an achey lower back and shoulder joints. which latex topper would you suggest would soften the feel of the mattress?

I read that a soft latex between 10-22 IDL might be best – do u agree and do you sell such an item?

Hi Jane,

A latex topper would certainly take the edge off a firm mattress if it’s slightly too firm.

We don’t use ILD as this is an American measurement we use density in KG and a medium (70kg) or firm (80kg) rating.

We only sell medium density latex toppers as this is the best density for a softer and forgiving comfort layer.

A firm latex would simply firm up the top layer which is not what toppers are there to do!

I would, therefore, recommend you look at our latex toppers which are all medium and offer a softer comfort for your mattress.

Hope that helps – Lee
