Thanks for your reply Phoenix!
I’ve read many posts on the forums, some of the ones you pointed out, & I will go back through those, but I’m don’t feel any more knowledgable for it. What we have now is a spring coil Queen that is sagging after only 5 years and we are fed up with it, both of us wake up in pain now. So we definitely want a good supportive mattress. As a side sleeper though I want something with a little give to relieve pressure points on shoulders and hips, but not too much to cause sway-back in my stomach sleeping husband.
I haven’t found a mattress store near us that carries Dunlop so hence my uncertainty of what its like, I’ve seen youtube videos and it looks pretty dense.
We were able to find the Pure BLiss Nature and Nutrition at a store near us and were told the main difference being that the shorter the mattress, the firmer the feel. My husband liked both but preferred the 10" Nature a bit more and I preferred the 11" Nutrition. I was hoping that by building a firm 12" mattress it would have a little give for me but be firm enough for both of us.
I don’t know the Talalay IDL of the layers in the Nature or Nutrition mattresses by Pure Bliss so I can’t compare that info either, no info on their website. [strike]Do you perhaps know?[/strike] WAs able to find this info in the forums Post #2 here
My theory is that a Dunlop firm base, then a dunlop support core will give us plenty of support, but the the 3" (28 IDL Talalay) will “feel” like a bit of give for side sleeping?
