Removing Jeff Bezos from My Bed

I've also heard about people finding new foam mattresses too hot :(

like me. will buy a spring mattress next time

Edit thank you for your recommendation but I'm in italy, European and American mattresses are quite different.

Before discovering this, I once wrote to the customer support of the flamingo hotel, Las Vegas, because I loved their mattress: Hi, i do think that what i'm gonna write is weird, but anyway haha. On july of the summer 2019 i visited the fabulous las vegas. nor the nightlife neither the opulence of sin city could, however, reach the pinnacle of the human civilization, the mattress on which i slept at flamingo. I now have to change my own mattress at home, and i'm looking for the model on which i slept. the website only says "Simmons beautyrest", although Beautyrest is just a brand name used by simmons and doesn't mean a specific model. could you help me in this modern day divine comedy, be my Virgil and help me find the mattress name? Regards Name

I got an answer: Thank you for contacting Caesars Entertainment. I was delighted to hear that you enjoyed our mattress on your visit! Currently, we are using the Simmons Hospitality Beautyrest Felicity Pillow Top. They can be purchased at https://caesarsguestpurchase.com/shop or 1-866-926-8233. Please feel free to write back if you have any further questions.

Thank you for choosing Caesars for your gaming entertainment!

Have an amazing day!

While going with a non-foam mattress will be colder than a foam mattress, if you were interested in a colder foam then I'd like to recommend latex mattresses. They're more expensive than memory foam and they feel different but I no longer overheat at night. Also I sleep better knowing my bed has proper kerning.

I use latex topper because of this. It works like foam, but has cold feel to it, and hypoallergenic dust mite resistant on top of that.

How can a latex topper be hypoallergenic when tons of people are allergic to latex?

Because the Talalay and Dunlop processes involve vulcanization at 115+ C to turn the material into a foamed rubber, which denatures the proteins that the immune system recognizes and overreacts to. Denatured protein - think egg white once it's heated and turns white, instead of clear - has its structure radically altered. The molecules get pulled apart, tangled with others, and can in no way be recognized by the antibodies that trigger the immune response.

Similarly, Talalay latex mattress material is usually only about 30% natural and 70% synthetic, and the synthetic does not cause immune response.

If you powder the natural material and directly expose it to IgE, the dominant protein of interest for allergies, you can get a reaction (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10436396/), but in practice with sheets and the outer cloth covering on the mattress basically no proteins ever come into contact with the body. And even in that study only Hev B I was detectable, which is only one of many latex proteins that trigger the immune response, and only 3 of the 21 tested human sera actually had a reaction to the direct mixing with the powdered latex. As far as I understand it, there has never been a confirmed case of an allergic reaction to a latex mattress.

Have you tried a more firm foam mattress? I had similar sentiments about foam mattresses but they were all the type where you just feel like you're sinking into the foam.

I did, but in the showrooms in the short time I tried them (and with jeans and clothes and so on) I didn't got that it was warmer than other firmer mattresses
