Injured guy needs to finally sleep.! Any help appreciated.

Hi chopsui,

To be honest I think I’m going to go there and find a high density memory foam base (5lb) and have them put a 3" comfort layer of density 4lb or 5lb (latex if I can afford it).

Memory foam really isn’t suitable for use as the base foam in a mattress … it’s much too soft. It’s generally only suitable for use as a comfort or transition layer.

I’m 99% sure that will work for me, judging from all the mattresses I’ve tried. Ive read and shopped quite extensively but I’m just trying to narrow it down. I know I also prefer a latex topper, if I can afford it.

I don’t know of any mattress that you could have tested that would have had a memory foam base layer so I would be very cautious here.

Any other retailers I should consider in the Orange County area for my needs?

The better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Orange County area (subject to making sure that any mattress you are considering meets the quality/value guidelines here) are still listed in post #2 here that I linked previously (although it has been updated a few times since your previous posts).
