I just found this forum, wow.  I've learned a lot in the last two days.  My question is I have a 14 year old Lebada pillow top king size mattress that isn't working for me anymore.  I was going to go out and spend $2500.00 on a name brand mattress until I started to read this forum. I know am thinking of cutting into the old mattress and fixin it.  First question is has anyone gotten anything from "foamorder" and how are they to order from.  and second I have looked at the photo's on the mattress surgury's and the only question is do you just hand sew the top back on or what? My problem is I'm 6'4 205, wife is 5'2' 115.  I like a firm bed and she likes it medium.  What would you all suggest I start with.  I have no clue.  I do think I would like a latex pad on top.  Also I tried to look up foam retailers in Kansas and found nothing, if you know of any or can tell me where to look I would be grateful. Thanks Ron

thanks for the relpy Jim.  My thought is to take out the old stuff and add 1" or 2" of high density foam then add a 2" latex topper and put the top back on.  Would this give me a good firm but comportable mattress?
