I wanted to ask if a heavy person needs 4 layers, or if 3 would be enough? I'd actually like to get the 4-layer (Cal King, split) to have more combos to play with. But if I choose a 3-layer, would that be enough? Side sleeper 85%, back sleeper 15%, 440 lbs, one person Cal King... Also, would a Savvy Rest latex ILD's compare closely with SleepEZ? I can field test these locally. Thanks in advance! |

I would suggest Dunlop for your weight range, I suspecty it will compress less over the long run. I would go with as stiff layers for support as you can comfortably tollerate; I think keeping spinal allignment may be more important to you're back health over the long run than short term comfort. Also as pressure relief may be an issue with stiffer layers, you might go with an inch or two of good quality memory foam or a softer latex topper if that proves to be an issue. As a heavy guy this is what I found worked. SleepEz will work with you on trying different layers, but there are associated shipping costs that can add up.

If I did purchase a XF/F/M/S, and it turned out to be too soft, could I move the soft layer down a layer or two? Perhaps changing to a combo such as XF/S/F/M, or XF/F/S/M? If that would not work, I'll have to re-eval my plan. But if this would work OK, that would be fantastic! Thanks folks! |

If you can't do that, then maybe move the soft down one level first. So, XF/F/S/M. See how that works. If that is pretty close, then maybe you would want to get another medium piece and try that instead of the soft. Ultimately you might want to exchange one or 2 pieces for something firmer, but it will take some experimenting to figure that out. |
