150lb side sleeper, latex layer thickness = ?
|
I'm a college student on a budget, building up a Twin XL latex mattress. For portability reasons, I'd like to keep the overall thickness less than 7 inches. I'm 5'8/150lbs side sleeper. How does this look for a 6" mattress? (from foambymail): 2" 20ILD latex 2" 32ILD latex 1" HD36 (39ILD) 1" Lux (55ILD) It will rest on a thick plywood platform. |

| You are right. I am sorry. Use the HQ foam. http://www.thefoamfactory.com/opencellfoam/opencellfoam.html. I use the 1" for the latex. I cut the pieces in half (queen size) and they are holding up just fine with many switches. If you wanted 1" on a king, then yeah, I guess it would be fragile. I think that what you picked out is reasonable and that it will save you some money to fine tune it. I'm not worried so much about the humidity as from the sweat from your body creating the moisture that would mold. Maybe putting some 2X4's underneath for support and then drill holes into the plywood would work fine. |
