I've tested out some mattresses in person, I've decided that I liked firm or cushion firm mattresses best.

I am planning on getting a 36ILD latex base, but am very unsure/nervous about what topper to get.  I am leaning towards a 2" 32 ILD latex topper, but don't know if that is a good match.  I recently stayed at a Courtyard Marriott and slept on a Beautyrest Westbury, and slept horribly.  The mattress felt as if it were cradling you like a wet sand feeling which I did not enjoy.  I woke up every couple hours feeling "stuck".

I'm not sure if a 2" or 1" topper would be ideal (I'm 140lbs), and if a 32 ILD topper on a 36 ILD base would create the firm/cushion firm I am looking for.

I plan on first trying just the 36 ILD base, but if that is too firm I am not sure what to try next....

You make some good points Lynn. There are several variables. Change one and the whole equation changes.

I ordered an extra pillow since they are closing out their line of latex pillows too.  That is too bad.
