Looking for a mattress topper (prefer latex?) to go on a firm innerspring mattress (Durango, from Denver Mattress).

My wife and I are both side sleepers.  I have more trouble with pressure points (shoulder mostly, hip minor) than she does.   I don't want anything to mushy or "sinky", as I have always liked a firmer mattress.  I'm thinking a nice 1-1.5" latex topper sounds about right.

Where can I get a nice 1.5" latex topper, say in the 24-30ILD range?  Will something like this stay relatively cool?  I tend to get hot at night anyway and don't want to make that worse.

Great forum!

Great information, thanks.  I am over 200lbs, so is a 2" pad "better" in most cases than a 1" pad?

If you're over 200 go with the 2" You'd probably bottom out on the 1" and it wouldn't do you much good.
