I bought a SleepEZ latex mattress a few years back but even after playing with different foam layers I still don't love it. So now I want to try an inner spring mattress with a latex overlay. But I don't have any inner spring mattresses anymore and I don't want to buy one just to test this. Is it possible to buy an innerspring layer (say 3"-6") for a SleepEZ mattress? Thanks...

... I bought a Twin Englander for about $220, for just the springs. I cut it open about 2 days after I got it... 

Well,I am trying to avoid the whole mattress surgery thing. I figure if I buy the firmest mattress I can find I can just add foam and not need to do surgery. The trick is finding firm mattresses that would fit into the SleepEZ cover. I think I might have found something that will work. Companies like Invacare make "hospital" mattresses that are roughly 6" high. They are sized so you can take 2 of them and put them together (side by side)  to make a Cal King. 2-4" of foam on these should do the trick. The problem is that its hard to find any real info on these. So it may be better just to buy a very firm S brand and put the foam on top of that. That said, if anyone is familiar with these mattresses please chime in...

 PS - They even make "bariatric" mattresses which say they accomodate weights of up to 750lbs! That should last forever if you are of a normal weight, no?
