I found this site by accident.

I am looking to make my own queen memory foam mattress thru foamdistributing.com.

I am 5"3,  wt 170 lbs,  a side sleeper and like memory foam. I have used memory foam toppers before. Never 5 lbs density.

Here is what I came up with: Top to Bottom

2" 4lb density memory foam IFD 11

2" 5 lb density memory foam IFD 15

6" thick HD36 High Quality Foam Density 2.8lbs IFD 35 (this base is non fire retardant).

I could go with the LUX High Quality Foam IFD 50 that is fire retardant.

I need a good zipped cover and not sure about foamdistributing.com terrycloth for $20.00.

I don't know if I need a fireproof cover too. I am not a smoker but live in a apartment complex.

My total cost without cover is $387.98.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

I am having a difficult time finding talalay latex 2" ILD24. FBY only has 2" in 20ILD and 32ILD.

Ebay Mattress 247 only sells 2.8" in solf, med and firm and they are seconds.

I am trying to keep my DIY within my budget.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
