Hoping for some insight and recommendations if possible!
We recently bought a King Latex for Less Hybrid in medium, and my husband is having back pain/not super happy with it and wants firmer/less sink, so we are returning it, going into a DIY build (after eons and eons or reading threads here and Mattress Underground, like many others).
Him: 185lbs, 6’ tall, starts on back, moves to side (50 side/50 back) Me: 155lbs, 5’8" tall, (60 side/40 back)
I sleep very hot so trying to avoid too much memory foam, but maybe we’ve only bad memory foam. We LOVE just about every hotel mattress we’ve experienced over the past few years, which seem to be firm with some give on top.
The current plan bottom up:
- 1/2 or 1" LUX-R Foam (foambymail)
- 8" Quantum Edge Elite Bolsa -OR- 6" Caliber Edge Pocket Coil (very unsure here, from what I’ve read the Combi-zone isn’t ideal for side sleepers)
- 2" medium dunlop SOL
- 2" soft dunlop or talay
-OR- 3" medium and 1" soft talay - SLAB cover once layers are figured out
I’m tempted to go with a 6" coil to allow more room for change/ordering layers if needed, I don’t know.
This decision constipation is so frustrating! If you have any recommendations on how to recreate a firm yet plush top hotel mattress feel with a DIY build, or any other advice, it would be so very appreciated!
