Hello, I have spent a little bit of time lurking on this forum, and would like some feedback on a mattress configuration. Basically, my idea is to start with 6" of all natural talalay latex as a core, and add 1-2" of organic wool topper. Then, if this is too firm, add a softer 2-3" latex topper between the wool and 6" latex. So my questions. Does this sound like a good strategy? To start with just 6" of firmer latex and see how it goes. Then add an extra 2" of latex if needed? Also, what firmness would you suggest for the 6" latex core? The firmest I have found is at SleepEZ, I can get a 6" of 100% naturual talalay that is 30-32ILD. Is this firm enough for this configuration? Some info about my wife and I: me: 160lbs, 5'10", side sleeper My wife: 130lbs, 5'6", side sleeper |

Most people seem to end up with more than 6", and usually they have a firmer base level than 32. 6" of 32 might work since you are both pretty light, but I would also consider having 3" of 36-40ILD at the base, then 3" 32 on top. I think it is likely as a side sleeper that you will want another couple inches of something softer on top (20-24). Depends on how firm you like it. Rockymountainmattress also has good prices on 32 and 24 ILD 100% natural talalay (free shipping but no returns). Foamsweetfoam probably has some firmer than 32, if you want a firmer 3" base level. There is some value to buying the complete mattress from sleepez or flobeds or foamsweetfoam, so that you get a wool cover as well, along with the option to switch one or more layers. You can also have both sides different, if your individaul needs are different. Of course it costs more, but still something to consider. |
