Theoretically, and especially from those of you that have a real 8lb memory foam topper or pad (not the one from Overstock), which would have better support and hip pain-relief for a side sleeper?

I would be willing to invest in an 8lb topper if it is superior in relieving pressure points. Problem is, there's really no feedback anywhere on the web in regard and I don't want to make an expensive mistake if the product isn't worthwhile.  The only 8lb varieties available are from plushbeds.com, foamex (Venus which has been recently discontinued due to high price and low demand), and cradlesoft.  Plushbeds.com seems very reputable but $899.00 for a 2" 8lb queen topper is ludicrous! 

Any input is appreciated.  Thanks!

Thanks for the very thorough explanation.  It makes a ton of sense.  I was actually able to score a 1.5" venus topper from foamex.  I'm hoping the risk is worthwhile!
