I’ve been trying to figure out a DIY mattress build that I’m in the middle of. I’m 6’1"/185 lbs (mostly back, but some side - I have had back pain for a while now) and SO is 5’2"/150lbs (mostly side, sometimes back - no pain). I bought the TPS 8" 15.5 coils with Edge Support (link) with the 3" QuadCoils.
- Setup #1: When we put on a 2" Talalay Soft topper, it’s too hard for me. I have back pain still and there’s consistent pressure when I’m on my side. (FWIW, we also went down a full latex setup for a while and it was never comfortable for me.)
- Setup #2: We tried a 3" Viscosoft High Density Memory Foam (link), I think it’s a little too soft, and still end up with back pain.
Does anyone have any suggestions? or is there anything glaring that stands out that I might have not configured properly? Let me know if there’s any additional information that would be helpful.
