Hi, Iam going through the next steps on my DIY Mattress and looking for some advice or experiences. Currently have 3 inches of 26-28 ILD Dunlop for mid layer and getting a 1 or 2 inches of softer Talalay for top comfort level. Now comes the base core which originally going with latex but with money restraints I may have to settle with Poly foam core. Iam 150lbs and a side sleeper. I prefer the mattress on the firmer side. Any advice on what type of poly core or good place to buy (not interested in ordering from FBM)? I understand there are HD and Lux version but not sure how high of ILD should go. Another question is should I go with 4 inches or 5 inches? If I come up with more money and choose latex any advice on a 36 or 40 ILD Talalay will do and how deep?
Thanks for your help. |

Thanks for your help. If you prefer it on the firmer side, just be careful with an additional 2" of anything much softer than your 3" of 26-28ild. I'd actually just get your 5"40+ild base & start with what you have on it. Can always buy a softer layer later. |
