Naturepedic EOS took some tweaking to get it just right!
We purchased the Naturepedic EOS pillow top Dunlop latex mattress in king size. Plush 8" coils for both sides. My layers were soft on bottom, medium layer on top. I weigh 128lbs and have back issues. My husband had both his layers in firm. He is 218lbs. We previously had a Talalay OMI latex bed that lasted 13 years. We liked the idea with the Naturpedic mattress that we could have different firmnesses on each side. I had high hopes for this bed. It is made really well. It was way to firm for me and made my back sore along with my shoulder. I needed more of a cushiony feeling on top. I tried swapping the layers but nothing seemed to work. My husband ended up swapping his bottom layer out with a soft layer and that worked out well for him. He liked the bed and I really did not want to start all over again looking for a new mattress. I found the perfect solution. I knew Talalay latex was more bouncy and buoyant, so I started looking for a 3" topper/layer that I could replace the top 3" Dunlop layer with. I found the most wonderful company out of CA called Flobeds. They make a 3" Talalay latex layer called vZone it is amazing. It is around 6 different pieces of latex in different firmness to accommodate for your shoulders, hips and feet. After speaking with them I confirmed the soft configuration would work best for me. It came and I swapped it out with Naturpedics 3" medium Dunlop layer. WOW I could tell a difference immediately. I gave it a couple nights to see if it was going to work. It was almost perfect but I still felt I could use a little more plushness on top. Low and behold I found online what I needed to complete our new bed. A company called Turmerry sales a 1.4" Dunlop egg crate topper in medium firmness. I was concerned with it being Dunlop that it might be too firm. Flobeds does offer a Talalay egg crate topper but it was quite a bit more expensive and we had already spent so much on our new bed, I thought I would give the Turmerry topper a try. It arrived and we put it directly under our fitted sheet with the egg crate facing upwards. That night I slept like a baby. My husband woke up and said that he really liked it and it was a good find. I feel I now have the perfect bed for both of us. I wake up in the morning with no shoulder or back pain.
