Hello,
Here is my background: Iam 150 lbs and primary side sleeper. Have 2 + 3 inches of Dunlop med/firm (28-30 ILD) latex toppers from Sleepwarehouse.
I had been sleeping on the 5 inches total latex on a older mattress with boxsprings for the past week and was working nicely. Than I received my slatted bed and slept last night with the 5 inches of latex. I woke up with a sore lower back. This was a first since sleeping with the slatted bed setup. I had planned to added 2-3 more inches of 24 or 28 ILD Talalaya from SLB (have 10% coupon) for a top layer. Now Iam having second thoughts. Should I purchase a 2 inch firmer 36 or 40 layer and put in the middle or bottom or do you think it just needs more layers and stick with a 28 ILD top layer? I feel that it is not bottoming out, however noticed more sinking in the hip area. thanks This message was modified Feb 12, 2012 by johnnydm

| If you are sinking in the hips, it would seem like it is too soft there. I'm going to suggest that you actually put a 2 inch 32 ILD talalay latex on top to give it a layer of support. I did that for a 28ILD 6 inch talalay layer that was too soft for our guest mattress and my wife slept on it and loves it. As a side sleeper it may make it a little too firm for your shoulders but maybe you aren't as sensitive as I am. But it will help the back. My weight is the same as yours but I've gone to zoning for my shoulders. That is an alternative. |
