Suggestion for a mattress needed for opposites (pure latex bliss?)

I'm looking for a new matteress, as the current one feels like it's broken, and causes backpain for both my husband and I (granted one reason is because we dont regularly sleep with our backs straight --- we're both side sleepers).  For background, I'm 5'3", 120lbs, and he is 6'3", 250lbs.  

 

Anywho, we tested a bunch of mattresses.  The thought was originally that we wanted a firm mattress, but the seller at a local mattress store convinced us that we want one that keeps our backs straight.  Sounds like the right thing.  The mattress that we've both liked is the Pure Latex Bliss 10" nature mattress with a 3" latex topper.  Total for the two is $3,200 - which is rather a lot.  It just didn't make sense to me as, I dont understand why the below. 

 

If I need a topper on a bed anyways, why can't I get a generic mattress (say, online, even if it is latex) and buy a topper at the store (like this one)?  Does my mattress actually matter?

 

Also, is there a more affordable alternative to the PLB Nature bed with the 3" topper?

 

Please help!  We really need a new bed  - our backs are dying!

How do I build my own latex mattress?  And is it possible to build a mattress that's just like the Pure Latexx Bliss Nature 10" mattress?

I really discourage people from buying before trying. SleepEZ... and the other online discounters have a good product but they also have a very high return rate as a mattress is really on of things that needs to be tried. IN addtion used returned layers can get in from some online companies depending on the state that regulates it. This is probably one of the most important investments you will make take your time and test it out...
