Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to this forum, so trying to search, but not finding quite what I am looking for. Hoping the readers here can assist. We are looking for a new mattress set up. We both like a firm mattress, with a little cushion on top. But, do not want pillowtop because of the known sagging issues. We are not small people, but not overweight either. My parents have a 2" latex topper on a firm memory foam mattress from Ashley's. I've slept in it for a week or so while pet sitting before and it was pretty comfy. Took about two nights to adjust, then good. Our guest room has a Spring Air firm with cheap memory foam topper and isn't too bad either. So, a few quick questions.... 1. Do any of you have this set up- latex over memory foam? Do you think it's viable long term to have 2" of latex on top of a firm memory foam mattress? Provide enough support to still be underlying firm? Costco has the Sleep Science 10" memory foam mattress that gets pretty good reviews for definitely under $1,000. And a good return policy for life. 2. Do any of you have a good, solid, rather inexpensive, non-sagging, firm innerspring with a latex topper that you could recommend? Doesn't need to be fancy (in fact, simple might be better), but no sagging/indentations is the key! Sam's Club has a few Serta models: Senna (firmest) and Kendell (next firmest & seems to get pretty good reviews), again for under $1,000. 3. Does anyone have two twins or twin XL's pushed together with a king topper? Can you feel the divide between the beds? Thanks in advance! M. This message was modified Jul 13, 2011 by molly2005

Another thing I was just thinking about was finding a good firm mattress (with minimal foams that will break down). And maybe I could add 1-2" of memory foam & then 1-1.5" of soft or medium latex on top of that? Then maybe you get a bit of all the best?? Or do you think that might be a mess? |

Thank you so much! So, you are planning firm innerspring mattress + memory foam + latex? How much are you planning for the memory foam & latex? Like ~1" each or more/less? Thanks again! |

It's suggested here you start with the minimum you think might work. It's much easier to add more layers than to start returning stuff you find you don't need or doesn't work, since returning large heavy slabs of foam can be a headache. I do have a new innerspring mattress that is a bit too firm for me, so it was suggested here I start with a 2" soft layer of latex, which might very well be enough to soften the bed to my taste. If not, I can add another thin layer of either the same material or something else. It really depends on how soft or firm you like your bed. I prefer it soft. If you like a little more firmness, you can start with a firmer topper, then add a soft layer if need be. You don't want to get very thick toppers right away, but build up thinner layers until you're satisfied. It will take more time, but save you trouble down the road with returns as I mentioned. |
