Mattress Forum

I've offered my best recommendation.  I don't have enough vendor experience to suggest where to buy it.  Latex International makes Talalay Latex in the US.  I have some additional info collected here.

The IKEA topper is 1.5" blended Latex... that's a good start.  I have no idea what firmness it is, but it is probably soft enough, being a topper.  It may not be made like Talalay, but that may not be a problem... Europeans have been doing Latex mattresses for awhile... although the pinholes in Talalay do help push air and heat away.  The case has cotton in it... strong but can hold moisture.  You would probably want to cover it with the mattress pad for more surface ventilation.  Biggest concern with IKEA is how it will fit your bed size... confirm that.  Otherwise, IKEA is a fair vendor but you need to be discriminating with them since some of their stuff is marginally built, and some of their stuff is a pretty good deal.  I would guess that they would not cheap out on a Latex topper since it is substantially one quality ingredient... Latex.

Any thickness you add will begin to isolate your body heat, which may help keep the memory foam from softening.  But you need to understand the basic foam mattress model and know whether or not you are maintaining it... whether or not you can salvage your mattress by adding to it.

A foam mattress has a comfort layer over a core support layer.  The comfort layer should only be thick and soft enough to contour to your body profile and distribute your weight across the core support layer below.  The comfort layer should just cradle your body.  It's not uncommon for the top of the core suppport layer to be less firm than the remaining core support layer below... a transistion firmness to allow your deepest sinking pressure points to descend into it from the comfort layer above.  Imagine all of this happening, and then decide how your mattress is behaving with respect to this model behavior.

Your mattress spec suggests that it has marginally thick layers... the comfort layer is less than 2"; the next support layer is less than 3"; and the base support layer is not clear.  As I see it, the comfort layer is too shallow, and the transistion support layer is too thick... and I'm going to guess too soft to be a support layer.  The two could be behaving as one comfort layer that is too firm to contour and cradle, and too thick to allow your deepest load points to reach true support below.  Hence, you may be hammocking in too firm and too deep of a comfort layer, made worse by warming foam that softens.

If so, the fix is to increase the thickness of the top comfort layer, and either decrease the thickness and/or increase the firmness of the top core support layer.  You can't easily do the later, so you can add a topper to increase the existing comfort layer depth an inch or so, with the goal being to cradle higher and eek out some support from the middle support layer.  But this is hoping for a lot.
