Need help finding compromise for different body types

Hi Digger,

Would an example of this be to keep the layer of memory foam on both sides, but then have the other layer on my side slightly firmer, e.g. 32 ILD on my side vs the 28 ILD on his side?

Yes … that’s what I meant. I don’t know if they do split layers or the firmness options they have available but it would certainly be worth asking. They may also have some other suggestions that may be helpful as well. If they have any zoned layers available that have a firmer center zone then this may also be a possibility but again I don’t know the options they have available so you would need to ask them. There is more about zoning in post #11 here.

And in terms of testing this, have you ever heard of a manufacturer letting a customer take home unfinished pieces to try out for a few nights? My concern is that lying around on the mattress in the showroom for an hour may not be enough time to properly assess whether it’ll do the trick. It’d be nice to try a combo out for a couple of nights before it becomes mine for good, but I don’t know if I can expect a return policy on a custom order since I don’t see how they could reuse half a queen-sized slab of latex.

Some manufacturers may have some “sample” or returned layers available yes but again you would need to ask them about this and their return policy as well because custom designs often can’t be returned or exchanged but each manufacturer sets their own policies.
