I am a side sleeper and for the past few years have been waking up after my shoulder gets sore (about 2-3 hours) so I turn over and the other one gets sore after an hour or so.  After a while of this I go to watch TV and have some tea and go back to sleep in an hour or so, and this is getting old. We have a Temperpedic classic which is I believe the firmest one in their line.  We used to go through cheap beds every few years so we decided to buy a better one and spent around $2000 for it (not that dollar amount has anything to do with quality).  My wife loves it and her back issues went away almost immediately.  As for me I am getting tired of waking up every night and not getting a full night of sleep and now it is affecting my wife when I get up so often.  After some research I am seeing that side sleepers sometimes suffer from too firm a mattress and pressure points.  Can someone please recommend a good topper so I don’t have to go out and buy a whole new mattress?  BTW, I thought it was a shoulder problem so I went for week’s therapy, chiropractor adjustments, MRI's, acupuncture and massages and none really helped.  Now I thinking as soon as I get into the mattress it voids whatever they worked out.

Thanks!

I would actually recommend Dunlop topper vs talalay, it would react better on top of the foam vs "bouncy".

I've been led to believe that matching items don't actually work well together (ie memory foam mattress with a memory foam topper ) so perhaps a cotton type would suit your topper as it will provide a practicality vital to your bed
