Hi. I'm new here and I really need some help. I am 120lbs and have had several back injuries. Finding a comfortable bed has been a lifelong challenge. The only comfortable bed I have ever had was made custom to my body weight years ago. I had it for 20 years and have been searching for a comfortable bed ever since. We went through a pillowtop, a plush, both of which we were sleeping in valleys within a year. All are way too hard for me. So we finally just went and bought a $300 flat mattress at Ikea with the intention of buying a topper for it that we could exchange when it breaks down rather than having to buy a whole new bed every few years. We do have a 3 inch blended topper something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Studio-3-Inch-Mattress-Queen/dp/B002NSLLAU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301332339&sr=8-1-spell -- We bought this for our last bed which was plush and it worked okay but we still felt the breakdown of the mattress through it. We still have it, but now it's too hard. I'm a side sleeper. I also have a 1" 14 ILD talalay topper, and in a perfect world, need another 1" 14 and another 1" 19 ILD. Is there anyplace besides sleepslikeabear.com that sells 1" talalay in similar increments? I've talked to a couple of places that sell a 2" 4.75 lbs which they call 16-18, which maybe is sort of in the middle of the 14 and the 19 that I need, but it's a Dunlop process which I understand is more firm than the talalay. I'm really confused as to what to do. In summary I have: -- Firm mattress from Ikea -- 3" Visco which I don't know the ILD, but it's sort of medium hard -- 1" 14 ILD I'm looking to come as close as possible to another 1" 14 and another 1" 19 to put on top of the Visco, under the 1"14. That seems it would be the most comfortable combination. Any suggestions or recommendations would be highly appreciated. Caat This message was modified Mar 28, 2011 by bigcaat
