Want to go latex-we live in a rain forest
|
We have loved our Tempurpedic Classic king mattress, but are on the verge of the third replacement--the last two lasting only 2 months before a huge depression on my husbands side qualifies for replacement. We tried on this last one to combat our dampness by using a dehumidifier as it aired out in our guest room, ( those horrific smells for a long time), and covered it with a dust mite cover to try and cut down on moisture absorbed and the smell, but to no avail. Our average humidity here in Hawaii is 70-85% in the house. My husband is big-6'1" and 250 lbs, I 5'6" and 185, so we are not light weight. We want to utilize the foam base of the Memory foam mattress, and use new Latex toppers to build something that is soft and resembles that wonderful feel of sinking in of the memory foam that does not want to seem to hold up with our high humidity and weight issues. We are advised that Latex is impervious to humidity and weight issues. Learned a lot from the old posts, but unlike so many, we like soft feel, and not to jiggly so I wake the man up when I roll around. What would you suggest? I understand that Dunlop is firmer than Talalay, even the same ILD. Shaun @SleepEZ suggested that only medium(30-32 ILD) would hold up for us fatties, and 3 inches might be enough. I am afraid it will be too hard. Would 2 inches of soft-14-18 on 3 inches of medium give us the soft feel we are looking for? Will the soft collapse on us quickly? What to do???? |
