New DIY Latex Mattress Feels too soft - Looking for advice

[dosun]

Your mattress would be closer to a memory foam mattress than a latex mattress since the top layers contribute more to the “feel” of a mattress than the deeper layers although with only 2" of memory foam the “feel” would be more of a combination of the properties of memory foam and latex with the memory foam tending to be more dominant. More accurately yet it would be a memory foam/latex hybrid.

I’m actually going for the memory foam/latex hybrid feel. I like dead feel of memory foam and the push back of latex. I think I’m on the right track with the exception of the base.

Which latex topper did you use … the medium or the firm? Did you prefer the “feel” of a latex comfort layer more than memory foam?

I used the firm latex topper on top of the poly. I also tried layering my old 3" memory foam on top of the latex over the poly foam base. I didn’t using my new 2" memory foam because it was in the other room and I was too tired to carry that back and forth. I prefered both configurations over my current configuration of memory foam over latex over latex. Out of those two, I prefered latex over topper rather than the memory foam over latex over topper. The 3" of memory foam was thick enough that I couldn’t really feel the latex below it.

The component post here includes several online polyfoam suppliers that carry many types of polyfoam in a range of different densities and firmness levels.

I haven’t looked in the New York city area for foam shops but most larger cities would have a number of local sources as well. A quick google search on “foam store new york city” brought up a few stores that sell a range of polyfoam including …
