Spouse complaining of hip/sciatic pain on 9 inch med/firm/firm Dunlop from SoL, so it’s pretty firm. Doesn’t have problems with any bed on vacation, and thinks the mattress not firm enough, because a futon on floor, much firmer obv, no back pain. She’s only 135 pounds 5’2" side/back sleeper. I can’t understand why super firm for sciatic pain would help her but that’s what she wants. I thought pressure relief would be the answer but adding a memory foam toppper made it worse.
My last step is 9 inches of firm Dunlop. But if that doesn’t help her, what’s next. Any ideas how I can make her side of our king diy superfirm? Is there something firmer like a tatami mat as a component – work/fit within my mattress cover? Is 3 inch firm Dunlop over a 6 inch caliber edge coils from APM spring something I should consider? Is that the firmest diy coil? Is there a talalay firmer than firm Dunlop from SoL?
