Looking for opinions about my theory below and how that translates to an Aloe Alexis.
Tried a Natura Twilight Euro Top tonight which my partner and I both liked. Construction:
1 inch 19 ILD Talalay
2 inches 28 ILD Talalay
6 inches 36 ILD Talalay
We are both on the heavy side, nearing 300 lbs. My theory is that we basically didn’t get any support from the layer of 19 ILD and were almost completely resting on the 28 and 36 ILD layers.
If so, then I think we’d be in the ballpark to get an Aloe Alexis with the following construction:
3 inches 28 ILD Talalay
3 inches 32 ILD Talalay
7 inches 2.17 lb. HD foam core
My thinking is the extra inch of 28 ILD would add a bit of support and then we’d be into a nice, thick layer of 32 ILD to get us near the feel of the Natura mattress. The HD foam core might make it feel a little less soft, perhaps enough to help the second layer feel more like the 36 ILD of the Natura.
My real dilemma is that my partner starts every night on her stomach. Because of that, my plan was to split the bed and have her side be 3 inches of 32 ILD over 3 inches of 36 ILD. However, now I’m really afraid she’ll think that is too firm.
Part of that is based on trying a Vinyasa Firm mattress. She thought it was way too firm, while I thought it was a bit too firm. (Felt like I was lying on it instead of in it.) No construction specs that I could fined either at the store or online.
(I also tried a 2-inch of 28 ILD layer over 6 inches of 1.5 lb. HD foam core, but the support was terrible. When I sat on the bed, I could feel I sunk all the way through to the foam core.)
Anyway, I’d love some feedback about my thoughts on the 1-inch layer of 19 ILD and how the overall bed translates to the Aloe Alexis.
Thanks in advance!!
