We struggled with a similar problem and settled on a wool topper over latex. Wool is superior to cotton in terms of moisture and temperature regulation, and it is resistant to dust mites and bacteria. The wool topper has a cotton cover, so there's no direct contact with the wool (plus there's the mattress pad and bottom sheet on top of it).

It's the best of both worlds--the support and resilience of latex, with none of the temperature or moisture problems. The best way to describe it is that it feels like a brand new futon mattress (before they get compressed and rock hard) every time you lie down on it. Hands down the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on.

Edit: Almost forgot, you can dial in the support in this setup by starting with a relatively thin, extra firm latex mattress and wool topper. If that is too hard, add a softer latex topper between the wool and the mattress.

You need to google and not this subreddit. We cannot agree on mainstream mattresses, with the only consensus being that latex is the BIFL type, which many cannot stand mainly due to heat reasons. So if we can't agree on mainstream, you will get zero help with an esoteric mattress.

Lol it’s not esoteric if you live in India. Have to laugh at this sub sometimes. There are probably some Indian people who have opinions on which is best quality. Open mind to other peoples realities.

I'd have an open mind if people would type out their full ideas vice "Indian style cotton mattress, thank". I put "cotton mattress" into the search bar and we've talked of this topic zero times in the sub.

Never heard of a mattress like this, but it sounds very absorbent and hard to clean.
