Hey! Currently my husband and I are sleeping on a 4 year old cheap memory foam zinus mattress which has been fine for about 3 years but now both my husband an I are experiencing extreme lower back pain.
5’10" / 23.0 BMI / side + back sleeper
6’1" / 22.0 BMI / side+back+stomach sleeper
We can’t afford a latex base layer and I would prefer to not do coils so looks like poly foam is the best bet for that layer. Do you have any idea what the difference in mattress life longevity is between 1.8lb poly foam vs 2.8lb?

Option 1:
6" 2.8lb polyurethane foam - $297
2" 28ILD dunlop latex - $254
2" 4lb memory foam - $167
10" SOL Cover - $169
TOTAL = $887
My concern with this option is I’ve noticed I can feel the trapped heat on our current mattress but it’s not bad enough that we’re waking up sweating or anything like that.

Option 2:
6" 2.8lb polyurethane foam - $297
2" 28ILD dunlop latex - $254
2" 20ILD soft SOL dunlop latex - $235
10" SOL Cover - $169
TOTAL = $965
Wasn’t sure if I should do 28 or 30ILD latex for that second layer…

Option 3:
Another option I was considering is doing a poly foam / dunlop / memory foam / dunlop configuration with hopes of extending the life of the mattress since the latex would be on top vs memory foam. I’m not sure what density and thickness I would do for this option.

I tried to lay this out clearly and would love any and all advice anyone has to offer. Thank you!!
