Supersoft Poly (1 inch) over HD 36 Polyurethane (1 inch) Waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too hard form me last night!
 Latest stab was a bust. Tried all poly solution for toppers over firm Serta mattress. Both came from foamdistributing.com and were really cheap like $36 for both.. so wishful thinking. "supersoft" is the softest they sell, felt somewhat like 20 ILD foambymail latex, so thought it might work. So hard I woke up in pain at 4 AM and resorted back to 1 inch foam by mail latex 20 ILD under 4 lb memory foam econ green from overstock. Not great but could sleep. Just going nuts, folks. |

It ain't easy...this perfect bed search is not for the faint of heart. To me, it sounds like you need a bit more cush. In my mattress, over the springs and cotton batting, there is 4" of P/U foam. MOST mattresses sold anymore have a minimum of 7" of foam(near as I can tell), but no cotton batting. I"d conclude that about 4" of cush is possibly about right. I have no idea what is in your mattress, there's a good place to start...if you know exactly what you have, it is easier to figure out what to do. Otherwise you are batting in the dark and can only hazzard a guess(as we can)about what to do. If more foam is what is needed, did you try the new setup over the 1" latex(no memory foam)? Might be worth a try. I've actually felt a difference when the bed company added just a few layers of 1/4" thick soft P/U foam before(yes, Princess and the Pea here...prolly oughta change my screen name!). It is shocking what a small change can feel like. IMO, memory foam doesn't add cush, just more sinking, which can strain the back and put your body out of whack(as opposed to all the ads). I'd leave it out of the equation unless you really think that is what you need. Kait

| I agree that 2" is probably not enough. As Kait suggested, you can add 1" or 2" or latex/memory to your various PU pieces. You have lots of possibly combinations, but nothing may be perfect. Since you like the MF over latex, you might just want to try putting the 1" firm PU piece under that to see how it works. I have found that I can be pretty satisfied, but never have been 100% satisfied. I personally can use some memory foam, but I don't have the back issues some others do. |
