Mattress topper good. Sheets terrible.
After owning an original Flobed for about 20 years, I bought one of the mattress toppers because my shoulders are aging and I’m a side sleeper. I began to be awakened everyday by my shoulder pain. I considered just buying a whole new mattress (one of the three layer ones), but I decided to try the mattress topper first to see if that helped. It did - a lot - as did a Youtube video on how to side-sleep by The Two Most Famous Physical Therapists On The Internet. I also bought a set of the 300 thread count sheets, thinking I’d need a really deep pocketed fitted sheet to handle the extra 3” of depth added by the mattress topper. I still have a set of the sheets the came with the bed that are in rotation, believe it or not. They are still great, so I figured a new set would be just as good. They are not. They don’t breathe at all, and sleep very hot. I called Flobeds and asked if I could return the topper, thinking it was somehow the cause of the heat. Of course they said no. I tried a bed pad under the sheets and it had no effect. So, just on a hunch, I tried the old sheets, and had no problems with waking up sweaty. It is the new sheets that are the problem. THEY DON”T BREATHE. I haven’t asked Flobeds if I can return them, because their likely answer is a resounding NO. I’ll probably give them away to Goodwill or something, because they are just non-starters for me. I just went out and got some 200 thread count cotton percale deep pocketed sheets for a fraction of what these Flobed sheets cost. You might want to avoid them, if you tend to sleep hot. They’ll just cook you.
