HD Memory Foam Topper over Ultra Plush Latex?

I’m contemplating buying a 2 – 4 inch (5 or 6 LB) memory foam topper to place on top of my two year old Latex king size mattress. I personally love the mattress, but the mattress has softened (it was already considered an Ultra Plush) and my wife prefers  a firmer mattress. Through what seems to be non-stop online research, I noticed that some models use memory foam over a latex base.  I’m wondering how a high density memory foam topper will feel on top of a (softer) latex mattress. Will it give my wife the firmness she seeks?  Should I add another layer of firmer foam between them?

  Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

BigKev,

 

an HD memory foam topper on top of a plush latex is not much helpful.

Before wasting any money, try what I suggest below;

1) have your wife lie down on the mattress,

2)mark the area where her lumbar area lays,

3)grab a used thin (compressed) pillow or foam & put it under the the mattress (below where her lumbar lays)

4)increase or decrease thickness of the material to get the right support needed.

most of the times, a 1" firm foam between the plush mattress & base will provide the added support. avoid using plywoodwink
