Help me plan a basic mattress surgery
| Wife and I have a seven year old Simmons plush-firm queen mattress; of course the foam layers on top are compressed and uncomfortable, but the springs seem fine. We recently laid on a new mattress composed of springs, 3" medium latex, and 2" quilted wool, and it seemed pretty comfortable, so I'm wondering if I can replicate it through surgery. In most of the surgery that I read about here, people use more than 3" of foam, and often two or three densities, but I'm considering just one 3" layer, then adding a wool topper if it seems necessary. What do y'all think? The other question is what ILD to get, and where. FBM medium is 32, which seems too firm for a single layer. High 20s seems better to me, but where would I get that? |

| Putting a 2" wool topper over the latex will give you the feeling of a very expensive mattress if the springs can provide enough support for the extra depth you will sink in with the toppers. |
Re: Help me plan a basic mattress surgery
| Thanks everyone. I'm getting interested in that 3" dunlop 25 ILD topper from mattresses.net but still wondering how it will perform/feel as a single layer directly on top of the springs. I'm 170 lbs and 6 feet tall. Would this foam bottom-out under shoulders and hips when side sleeping, or is this sufficient padding for a single layer? |
