I was wondering what ILD and what depth those that have Latex toppers have. If you do not have a topper, I would like to know what the ILD of your latex is on the top of your bed. I am confortable with a 1" latex topper of a 36 ILD over a 44 ILD over a 44 ILD over a stat box. My bed came with a 2" soft latex topper but it was too soft for me but I kow others love it and like softer beds. I am curious and wonder if I am the minority. I still wish my bed was a little softer on my shoulders but it feels so good on my back and I love getting into the bed with this combination of layers. A softer topper only feels better for the first hour and then my back starts to ache. |

I have a suggestion for you and for all latex and foam users: Buy an electric carving knife. These work very well for cutting foam, and you can take a 6" pillow and cut it down to 5" for example. We use a cheap electric carving knife we bought at Target for all our foam, including memory foam. I've even taken a 5" piece of rectangular foam and cut it so that it has a neck support, you know, a rounded part on the edge for my neck and rounded concave in the middle for my head to sink down. You can use these electric carving knives to cut foam however you want it. I'm going to post on this in a seperate post so others who don't read this reply will see it. |
| Jimsocal, Thank you so much for this information since maybe my friend can help me make one of my latex pillows about 1/2" less thick. I do like the idea of zoning but I will have to avoid the glue. Even my new solid wood Maple Furniture from Durham bothered me for a few weeks with some outgassing from the paint or maybe the plywood in the drawers. Now it is so wonderful. |

For side sleeping, I would want my hips and shoulders to sink in more, and the goal would be to get my spine straight. |
