Initial Success with zoning latex/memory hybrid ended up being a fluke... Sorry!

Hi Folks,

Tried using firm 2 inch latex for small of back down to the feet ... better support .. and memory foam head down to below the shoulder... all of this on a very firm Serta Auburn Firm as a base, and the first night it felt good.. but second night... back to same old back pain.

 

This was a bit of a take off of Mattress makers "zoned" greater support under the butt.. but it didn't last long.

 

Next!

I have been sleeping with a "knee pillow" for years... under knees when on my back, between when on my side.  Helps a lot!

I am thinking my problem is with using an "unknown" mattress as a base for toppers, even firm, will have various layers that

are not working.  Next step for me a custom latex stack, but that introduces a complete set of problems, too:  3 or 4 layers

permutated by 3 or 4 firmness choices.  I will try to find an ATL or SE stacker of latex where I can demo before buying.

Mattress industry will not be in heaven.
