To All, Like many before me, I have greatly benefited from the information found in this forum. It was especially helpful to read posts from those who were happy with their mattress and listed their mattress’s specifications along with their body type, i.e. height, weight, medical condition, etc. These posts were like Mattress Profiles and I used them to help decide what would work best for me Now, that I am happy with my mattress I am listing my Mattress Profile in the following post. If you like your mattress, please consider adding to this thread with your profile. Scott |

Three years in it start to sag. At the same time both of our backs started to hurt in the morning. We thought we liked very firm mattresses. We have discovered that we actually like very firm mattresses with a plush top. Without the plush top our spines are not aligned properly. |

Thanks for posting! I'm curious why you chose one of the bigger layers (2.8 inches) in soft and put it at the top? Top Layer: 2.8 inches - soft, 22 ILD Middle Layer: 1.4 inches - firm, 38 ILD Bottom Layer: 2.8 inches - firm, 38 ILD
did you try the two 2.8 layers as firms on the bottom and then put the smaller 1.4inch soft on the top? would that work also to give a firm support layer mattress with plush top? Top Layer: 1.4 inches - soft, 22 ILD Middle Layer: 2.8 inches - firm, 38 ILD Bottom Layer: 2.8 inches - firm, 38 ILD
I like firm mattresses with a plush top as well, so I'm trying to figure out how to recreate that in latex layers. thanks for sharing!! |
