Hi Phoenix : Well I took a time out from mattress shopping to clear my head . earlier this week I went back to the foam order store .
I tried out . the following combinations in 100% all Natural Dunlop Latex :
A- X-Firm bottom medium , 2" soft= 8""
B- Firm bottom medium 2" soft= 8"
C- X Firm Medium= 6"
D- Firm Medium= ^6"
X-Firm, Med, Soft felt good ,but not sure might be too soft??
Firm, Med, Soft Not good felt too soft not sure if supportive enough not willing to risk it
X-Firm with Medium After lying on it a while felt it might be to firm ?
Firm with Medium felt OK
Where I am Now:
Considering :
Firm with Medium … Felt OK , if I need a little extra cushion for side sleeping , could add 1" Talalay ???
My concern I realize I can make a Firm Mattress softer but not the other way around. ?
Would I be better off if I do X-Firm with Medium and add a Talalay Topper either in side the case or Top ? in order to get a firmer base?
Can’t Decide if I should start with X-Firm or Firm as a base?
Cover:
What I am thinking right now is to have the 2 cores of latex each put separately in two FoamOrder Inner organic cotton Muslin Cases
Sleep on the 6" combination , decide if I need to add a Talalay core of Latex then order a zippered quilted Case in the appropriate height , (probably = 7-8" high.) and put all the latex cores with the inner cases in the zippered case ???
Just do not know if I should start with extra firm or Firm as the support base ?
Thanks for listening, Mattress Therapist
Appreciate whatever guidance you can give me from your experience . Realize , you can’t feel what I do .
Best Regards
