I told Dave that I liked the idea of soft in the shoulder area (Vzone) but I definitely want firm in the him area.  so he suggested medium vzone over medium over firm.  So here's my question:

If I place a firm zone in the hip region but that sits on top of a medium core, is that going to offer enough support?  It seems  most people here get at least med/firm/xfirm (which is what he recommended for my husband's side), so I am concerned about med/med/firm being to soft.  I expressly indicated that I don't want to sink in too much (except at the shoulder area when I side sleep).

What happens when you place a firmer core over a softer core?  I mean doesn't the softer core just get squished then and lose functionality?

What do you guys think?
