latex mattress topper-help for a newbie
| Hello all. Thank you for a very informative forum. I just bought a new innerspring mattress (Berkeley Ergonomics) and I love the support it gives me, but I need more "cradling" for when I side sleep. The firmness bothers my shoulders. I was thinking I need a latex topper (prefer a natural material). The mattress has a 1" thick, firm layer of talalay on top. I know I should try things, but was hoping for some educated guesses as to what would work as I just spent a huge amount on the mattress. I am 6'5" and 235lbs. and my wife is 5'9" and 135lbs. I was looking at Foambymail (very reasonable) and was thinking a 2" layer (kingsize)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Erik. |

Do you know the ILD and thickness of the latex that is already built into the bed? Is your wife comfortable already or is she also needed extra cushioning -- and does she also side sleep? I will say that we liked FBM and got our latex from them. I can't compare it to other companies, but we've been satisfied by the quality. |

| The latex built-in to the mattress is a 1" layer of "firm", don't know the ILD. I was thinking of adding 2" more, possibly a little softer. Wife needs more cushoin also. Thanks. |
