All this info has been quite helpful–thanks.
If I were to DIY a latex mattress for my four-year-old, who sleeps mostly on his side and back, how might I put together a “medium-firm” configuration, which seems to be recommended for kids? I read in another post that dunlop tends to be better for kids than talalay…
Do others in my position often find success with 3" firm and 3" medium dunlop?
Or perhaps 3" firm dunlop, 3" medium dunlop, and 2" medium talalay?
Or some other configuration?
(It seems that I should go with just latex, since a hybrid mattress gets rather tall for a little kid: 8" of coils plus a latex topper = 10" or more. Or am I misunderstanding something there?)
