As you know I have been trying to get back to the "sweet spot" that I achieved on my newly operated-on Englander a few months ago. For some reason it was great at first then mysteriously didn't work for me any more. So lately I've been trying various configurations.

Two nights ago I put my fake Venus foam on top. So it was like this from the top down:
Venus 1" foam (fake Venus sold by Overstock)
32ILD natural Talalay latex
1" HR foam on bottom
Englander springs

That did not work for me.

Then, as I have done before, I reversed the memory foam so that it was not on top, but rather under one layer. This worked for me. This also has been the way my wife has been using it for some time.

Everyone says memory foam should be the top layer when used, but we find that it is better for us as a 2nd layer. (Of course, in my case, who knows? It may stop working for me tonight! But I have used it this way successfully in the past.)

Just wondering if anyone else has found this works for them - memory foam UNDER another layer?

So anyway, this is working for me now: (hope it keeps working)
