first, my stats: female, 5' 10" and my weight stays between 135-140.  I am primarily a side sleeper but I also sometimes stomach and back sleep.  

I told Dave that I liked the idea of soft in the shoulder area (Vzone) but I definitely want firm in the him area.  so he suggested medium vzone over medium over firm.  So here's my question:

If I place a firm zone in the hip region but that sits on top of a medium core, is that going to offer enough support?  It seems  most people here get at least med/firm/xfirm (which is what he recommended for my husband's side), so I am concerned about med/med/firm being to soft.  I expressly indicated that I don't want to sink in too much (except at the shoulder area when I side sleep).

 

What happens when you place a firmer core over a softer core?  I mean doesn't the softer core just get squished then and lose functionality?

What do you guys think?

Linda, that is helpful information for me o know....I am thinking of asking for the firm Vzone since we were going to bump up the firmness in the hip area anyways, and then I will still have a medium zone down at the feet if I need softer in the hips I can swap it.  So now I'm not sure if I should get firm vzone over firm over x firm or firm vzone over medium over firm. 

Again, does anyone know what the consequence of a firm hip area on top of a medium core is functionally?  I'm just thinking here that if I want medium, it should be in the top layer, not the middle layer.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Thanks again.  I think I am getting close here.
