Hi Skrell,
The Brooklyn Bedding Best Mattress Ever (BME) is a different construction than the Novosbed. It uses two latex layers on top of a polyfoam core, where your Novosbed uses high performance polyfoam and memory foam on top of a polyfoam core. The BME will be a bit more resilient feeling on top than your current mattress, as it uses latex in the upper layers, even for the soft version. The soft BME uses 2" of 30 ILD Dunlop latex under 2" of 19 ILD Talalay latex, with both of these layers on top of a 6" 2 lb polyfoam core. The Medium BME uses the same polyfoam core, but the 2" of Dunlop latex is 32 ILD and the 2" of Talalay latex on top is 28 ILD. The polyfoam core is a bit more dense than your Novosbed as well.
Placing a latex topper over your Novosbed will increase surface resilience, but it will still have a different feel than the BME. If you’re considering testing out a topper still during your trial period with the Novosbed, you may wish to look at some of these online mattress toppers that can be returned. If you find out this works well, then you are all set. If you find that it doesn’t work, you could have the option of returning the topper or the Novosbed and then perhaps trying out the BME as you suggested. If you do decide on the BME, I would place a phone call with them before placing an order and ask for their guidance as to whether the Soft or Medium would be recommended for you based upon your experiences with the Novosbed, as they would be in the best position to suggest what they think will be most appropriate for your needs. My concern is that you ma choose too soft because of your lower back and hip pain and you’d want to make sure that you had good alignment.
