Hello,
I built a DIY split queen Hybrid Mattress with the following configuration from top to bottom:
2" 22 ILD tally latex topper
Split 3" Firm(38 ILD) / Medium (28 ILD) Talalay latex
8" Quantum edge elite bolsa coils
The mattress topper suits above the mattress cover. Everything is on a frame with slats.
I have yet to find a configuration that’s comfortable for me ( 6’2" 170lb back sleeper) and my wife (5’3" 115lb all around sleeper). The firm side with the topper feels too soft. If I sleep on the firm or the medium side without the topper, they feel too hard. In the past I’ve tried 1’ and 2" Dunlop toppers, but they didn’t really help. It feels like my hips are sinking in too much. Maybe the coils are too soft?
I’ve been sleeping in my son’s twin bed which feels like I’m sitting on top of the mattress and I’ve been sleeping way better. I’m not sure of the brand.
I’m wondering if there’s any way to salvage this setup without buying a premade. My wife has been very understanding, but never love the mattress.
I’m considering just buying a premade DLX or something with a 120 night trial and being done with this headache.
If anyone has any insights or ideas I would be very appreciative.
Thanks.
