Firmness of Dunlop Latex 2'' "medium" topper

[phoenix]

Hi sleep_easier,

For reference, I have a ~3 year old firm simmons beautyrest millerton eurotop. It has a bit of padding, but overall is pretty firm. No sagging or other issues. Obviously I like the support (why I purchased) but over time I’ve noticed I toss and turn a lot, and am never quite “comfortable”. I’m a mid-20’s, not overweight male, and I don’t experience any pain, just discomfort. As a side note my girlfriend (who has been out of town since I purchased the topper) prefers a softer surface than me.

My comments about choosing a topper in post #2 here would be the same as i would reply to you as well.

Although it feels slightly softer than before, particularly when I first lay down, throughout the night it often still feels quite firm. I feel I have a few options:
Exchange for 3’’ - would I want the “soft” (20 ILD) or medium again (30 ILD) ?
Exchange for 2’’ "soft (20 ILD)
Add a 1’’ soft layer above my current 2’’ medium? (would this make any sense?)

While it would depend on the firmness of the mattress you are using it on and on your own body type, sleeping style, preferences, and sensitivities … based on “averages” a 30 ILD Dunlop topper would probably be somewhat firmer than “most people” would choose.

While there really isn’t much I can add to the information in the post I linked and the topper guidelines it links to … unless there is a specific reason not to I would probably tend to choose a softer topper than the 30 ILD topper that you currently have and if you are looking for “a little to a fair bit” of additional softness then 2" would probably be a reasonable and “average” choice … although again the only way to know for certain whether any mattress/topper combination would be a good “match” for you and your girlfriend in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP will be based on your own personal experience.

If it’s still not soft enough then you could certainly try an additional inch as well.
