Latex topper firmness in combination with air mattress for side sleeper

[phoenix]

Hi Ana,

Now I found a used Pure Latex Bliss Pamper for 200$ and am tempted to get it… Supposedly, the pamper model consists of: a 2’’ layer of ActiveFusion is Plush which has an ILD rating of 14ILD-21ILD, and the 6’’ Support Core is 36ILD – 46ILD.

You can see the specifications of the Pamper (assuming that it’s the latest version) in post #2 here.

There is also more about buying a used mattress in post #2 here.

I wonder now how precise my need for 32ILD is, or if I work with this model, i.e. assuming it is 36, add the 24ild on top of the active fusion layer, or get a 32 for in between. I wonder how much better the Pamper would be instead of the airmattresses as a base, under a 3’ 32 Ild dunlop topper.
If you have any input, that’d be welcome.

The only way to know whether any combination of layers or components in a mattress will be a good “match” for you in terms of PPP will be based on your own careful testing or personal experience. The Pamper is the firmest mattress of the PLB lineup and would be too firm for many people (especially if they sleep on their side) but if it’s too firm for you then it would certainly be possible to add some additional softness and pressure relief with a suitable topper.
