Hi rob2121,

I picked the Aloe Alexis now need to figure out if I want lower layer latex 28ILD or 32ILD. Im getting 2 tops layers and going to figure out what I like better! One is going be about 19ILD to be softer feel like memory foam and the other is going to be the 4lb memory foam.

My plan is try get it feel like a weightless Tempurpedic Supreme somewhat! I’m 5 10’ 225-250 depending time year! I have herniated disc in neck and back and need spinal support, but also need pressure relief in shoulder area because my shoulders are so wide!

The girlfriend is 5 2" 130 and almost all beds feel good to her as long as they are not rock hard! Issue is she does sleep hot because she has Multiple Sclerosis.

I wasn’t aware that they have the option of customizing the firmness of the polyfoam base layer in the Alexis.

In any case … they will be the best source of help and guidance about the options they offer that have the highest chance of meeting your criteria both for comfort and durability. The more information you are able to provide them on the phone about previous mattresses you have slept on and liked, your local testing, and information about your body type, sleeping positions, and preferences … the more you will help them to help you make the choice that you feel best about. They will know more about the feel and performance of the materials they have available and how they interact together and with different people than anyone else (see mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here).

The comfort layers you are suggesting would be quite soft “on average” for your body type.

If you are buying a king size … it may also be worth considering using a different firmness on each side.
