1. 3 layers of 2.8" each, with different firmness or material/process;

2. 1 core layer of 6" [or 5.6"] coupled with a 2" topper [again the offer includes different materials / processes for each;

The second option tends to be cheaper in most cases regardless of material/process used.

Can anybody explain major differences and recommend the better way to go.

And yet another question: when "topper" is referred to, is there any difference between it and mattress components? In other words - can I construct a 9" good latex mattress buying 3 x 3" toppers?

Thanks for all your input.
