I know there are many bad reviews of FBM but wow are they cheap.  Some people seem to have an ok time with them however. Regardless what I end up doing the foam needs to be the highest quality and long lasting.

Here's what I'm thinking top to bottom, queen size 60 x80

1" 20 ILD Latex topper from FBM

3" 38 ILD HD-36 HQ Polyurethane foam sheet.

(What should a queen size 3" HD-36 HQ weigh so I can make sure they sent the right quality?)  Would it be wise to use Dacron batten on top of the latex or would that defeat the purpose?

From reading online I know the HD-36 HQ can be pretty firm, but I'm thinking if I cut it to 3" it will soften up a little.  I also know the 1" Latex won't matter much for sitting, but when laying down it may make the area a little softer and cooler as we live and will be in HOT locations! I am however afraid the above arrangement will be too soft for sitting.

NO memory foam and we can't go more than 4 inches as thats what our covers will hold.  I've had it before and it's HOT!  We are both side sleepers pretty much, my husband is 230 lbs and i'm 130 lbs. He likes a softer sleep to a firmer sleep.  We currently have 4" foam that seems high quality and keeps its shape but bottoms out when you sit on it. I am also open to modifying this foam if you think 1" or 2" of a different foam in combo with our older foam would help.

Any suggestions on what the best combo would be?

At first I was considering 4" of the HD-36HQ, but figured 1" of the latex on top would make it better to sleep on.  I don't want the are to be too soft since its primarily a sitting area.

I was also thinking maybe 1" of the Lux-HQ, 2" of the HD36-HQ and 1" of the Latex 20ild, but Im scared this will be too firm.

If you have another 4" combo suggestion from a different supplier then FBM please list them. 

Thanks so much from a very confused boat girl.
