I purchased a "Firm" (33-38 ILD) 6" latex core from foambymail several months ago. I've enjoyed the support the mattress offers, but as a primarily side-sleeper, I've discovered it to be a bit too firm for my hips, and would like to "sink in" just a little bit more. (Right now it often feels like there's no "give" to the mattress.) I'm thinking a 2" topper ought to do it, but I'm not sure which firmness to select. Foambymail offers soft (20 ILD) and medium (32) options. This seems like a fairly large ILD spread (20 vs. 32) but maybe at just 2" it doesn't matter so much. Has anyone had experience with a soft topper over a firm core? I don't want to lose the support the firm mattress is offering, but nor do I want to find out that the medium topper really just offers more of the same density. Most of the time I'm reading that people select a topper that is one density above or below their core. Thanks so much - this is an excellent forum.

If you are only sleeping on 6" aren't you bottoming out? Did you mention your weight? I think I would add 3" if you are light, and more if you are heavier. I wouldn't get less than 24ILD blended talalay. Anything softer than that just doesn't do much, for me anyway. Let us know what you did and how it worked out. |
