Ideally I'd like to keep the Serene > Hypurgel comfort layer, though I can live without. I really like this combo. I feel like the hypurgel airiness saves the serene from getting too hot. They aren't too temperature responsive and they feel oddly supportive and soft.
HypurGel adds a buoyant, cooler feel but won’t match memory foam’s deep cradle-great as a thin top layer if you hate the stuck feel.
It's good stuff. I use it in my DIY. The cooling effect is subtle at best. I think it's very supportive and conforming, but it doesn't make up for having the wrong mattress core.
There are plenty of temperature-neutral polyfoams like Serene and HyPURgel that don't suffer from the heat sink issue traditional memory foam has.
there's also HyPURgel, that should be more durable than conventional polyfoam

AI summary — not a quote
Sleep on Latex (SOL) is a highly recommended brand within the DIY mattress community, primarily valued for its industry-leading return policy and high-quality Dunlop latex. Users frequently praise the brand's customer service and the build quality of their zippered covers. While the products are considered a great value, the feel of the latex is a point of contention; some users find it lacks the "cushiness" of other materials or find the firmness levels (even the "firm" models) to be softer than expected.
Pros
- Exceptional return policy: allows one free topper return per year with no shipping fees.
- High-quality construction, particularly noted for their zippered mattress covers.
- Competitive pricing, often cited as more affordable than sourcing certified layers from overseas.
- Excellent customer service and reliability for DIY mattress builders.
Cons
- Latex feel can be polarizing, with some users reporting issues with "pushback" or pressure points.
- Firmness levels can be misleading; some users found the "firm" mattress model too soft.
- The "soft" latex layers may lack the plush, "cushy" feel some sleepers expect from a top comfort layer.
- Latex components are notably heavy and difficult to move.

Sleep on Latex allows 1 topper to be returned per year for free, thats the best policy of them all though.
Sleep on Latex is the only one who doesnt charge you any fees and pays for shipping.
SOL's medium is roughly 34ILD but at 4.7lb density. It's more of a medium firm.
SOL medium is firm; their firm is extra-firm. You should take that in consideration.
2" of medium latex from e.g. Sleep on Latex or the Pocket Spring Store (also sells SoL) will be much more comfortable.
