Looking for a Queen size coil/microcoil with Talalay Latex in North NJ/NYC

Hi GIGmatty,

I also recently visited Sholvin in NJ, and while really enjoyed meeting them and their expertise (including the owner), their mattresses too are on the pricey side. One thing that was interesting was that they were going to include a separate (removable) pillow-top on either their Nirvana latex mattress or hybrid “sweet dreams” (innerspring with 3" talalay latex). I would have thought that sleeping directly on say a 24 IDL latex top would be preferred, so would love your thoughts on adding the pillow-top.

A separate topper can “act” a little more independently and “feel” a little softer outside a cover than it will by having the same layer inside the cover (see posts #3 and #4 here and the first page of posts in this topic).

It would also have the advantage of being able to replace just the topper without replacing the entire mattress if it softens or breaks down before the upper layers in the mattress (which is likely because a sleeping system will tend to soften or break down from the top layers down) or if your needs or preferences change over time and a topper can also help extend the useful life of a mattress underneath it as well.
