Haysdb, do you know where I might be able to get one of those firm, fiber pads or whatever it was you mentioned? This would be to put over my coils to see if they might give me extra firm suppprt--maybe just not as rigid as what the 1/8" doorskin plywood is doing now. I'm finding that in order not to bottom out and feel the hardness underneath, I need to build it up with more comfort layers. One can only have so many toppers on a bed!

I read Cloud9 and Mequoin Jim's suggestion about maybe having too many toppers, hence giving me a feeling of sinking in, thereby causing back pain. While I agree that I need to lose some of these toppers, I have to say I'm not experiencing that kind of back pain one gets from tossing and turning all night to "get out of the sinkhole" of luxury layers. Not at all. Thank God! I just think the configuration of layers I have on top of this really firm mattress is very comfortable. But, two things: My lower right back still hurts, all day. Going to have it checked out with next post-op appt. The other thing, even though these layers ARE comfy, there are just too MANY of them! My sheets won't fit over everything. An, I would like to not have to rely on so many toppers.

So, I figure in order for that to happen, I'll need something a little less rigid atop my coils. Haysdb suggested the fiber-thing. Where do you think I can buy something like this for an XL long twin mattress? AND, do you think it would be firm enough? I don't want it to be so flexible that it's not giving me the extra firm base I need. Anyway, if I do something like this, I might not need so many comfort layers.
