So I'm going to build my first latex mattress and need help picking out parts for it. I'm the type of person that likes pillow tops and squishy mattresses. I like what manufacturers would call ultra plush mattresses. I want to feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud (but I still want to make sure I keep proper spine alignment. I don't have any health problems besides asthma and I'm a little chubby (I'm male 5' 7" - 210lbs). I'm looking to build an eastern king mattress. Any thickness is fine I'm not worried about cost I just need a parts list.

Alex.  You should start with a large hunk of base then add a couple comfort layers.  Keep in mind that latex can be soft but it does not really feel like a traditional plush mattress.  To get that feeling you will need to use similar materials like cotton on top.  Keep us posted.  Mattdud
