Hi jaybackintheday,

I wonder what the recommendd method of softening one step down from M-M-F-XF is? Would it be M-S-F-XF like I tried or something else? Will have to ask sleepez.

This would depend to some degree whether you mean “pressure relief softness” or “support softness” (see post #15 here about the different types of softness) but the next step down from M-M-F-XF would be either what you suggested (M-S-F-XF) or S-M-F-XF. Switching the bottom layer to Firm or the third layer to Medium would also soften the mattress but changes in deeper layers are less obvious (although there are certainly some people who will feel it).

Which layer to change (or which layers to re-arrange) really depends on the specific symptom you are looking to reduce or the specific outcome you are hoping for.

Is there a benefit to rotating the bottom medium layer to top so it can be broken in and softened up, so the top two layers of medium will both be broken in, or is it better to leave the bottom medium less broken in and underneath the top layer?

I would focus more on using the combination that produces the results you are looking for without worrying about changing layers for the sake of breaking them in which could compromise PPP.
