Help Arranging Layers

[rictorjr]

[quote=“Phoenix” post=39313]Hi rictorjr,

The only difference is that I’ve split the Dunlop layer as the side to side transition was weird. It made the soft side only soft on about 2/3’s of her side and then it got firmer towards my side.

OK … that makes sense to me.

I might even consider zoning if I collect enough different layers… I can’t seem to find a happy medium between my shoulders and my hips.

There is some information here about zoning in post #11 here that may be useful.

My plan for now as you’ve suggested is to get the firmer core and use what I have to make adjustments (if needed). Then down the road if necessary maybe I’ll switch out the 3" 25 ILD Dunlop for a 2" 28 ILD Talalay. The 2" is cheaper and I don’t want to be buying latex forever!

That all makes good sense to me as well

I’m looking forward to your next “report”.

So, I’ve been on the firm core for a week or 2 now. Pressure points seem to be at a minimum. The firmer core makes the top layers seem softer somehow. The ways these layers interact with one another is insane.

I think I have a winner although sometimes I still have a back ache from time to time depending on how long I’m in bed. I may need to get that softer layer. I might get 2 or 3" of 22ILD Talalay to replace the 25 ILD Dunlop as 28 ILD Talalay may be too comparable in firmness. I’m going to wait at least a month and see how it pans out.
