DIY Mattress Questions

Hey Ken, I’ve seen nothing but amazing customer support in all of these posts from you and even a 4 page thread between you and a single guy which was quite frustrating even for myself to read but you handled it flawlessly.

I have a question in regards to your mattresses. Im 5’9" 160-165lbs and am a side sleeper. I’ve tried a few latex mattresses in store and seem to prefer a “softer” mattress especially for the pressure points associated with side sleeping. However I don’t totally want to sink into the mattress as to be swallowed by it. I saw in a thread you recommended going with a Medium/medium core (in reference to the Ultra Plush latex mattress) with a 3" topper at 19 ILD for someone similar to myself who also sleeps hot. Would you say that’s the most popular combination? I’d imagine it provides a good, but not too firm, foundation with medium and the 3" topper is what makes it comfortable for a side sleeper.

Thanks!
