I will take your cool Sydney breezes, many thanks. We have just had an afternoon downpour. I won't be going outside now. The humidity will be horrendous.
Initially I too was happy to invest in a good topper, however my purchasing options were very limitted. Broome is my closest town (220kms away) with only Target and Clarke Rubber as the available stores. As much as I love internet shopping not being able to feel the topper put me off.
Well Clarke Rubber did not have any (oh we are currently out of stock - the joys of a Kimberley Shopping Experience) so Target it was. I was pleasantly surprised.
The topper will probably last 12 to 18 months, given that it is eggshell foam and with our humidity nothing lasts, so I expect to have to replace it early next year. However worth a go.
I do understand the $$$$$$ aspect of BC. My follow up appointments in Perth usually require a week by the time I have flown down, had the scans, appointments and flown back. There goes $1,000 over and above what I am reinbursed. More than I get in age pension.
