Hi TMU friends,
We’re working through our mattress configuration and think we’re almost there. We’ve settled on a custom configuration with a firm QuadCoil at 14.75 gauge and 3" latex in a pillowtop compartment. My husband seems happy with a medium talalay on his side. I’m working now with a soft Dunlop, which is giving me a good balance of support and comfort, but find I’m still waking up in the middle of the night with some pressure points on my hips. I’d like just a little more “hug” from the mattress, some additional pressure relief without sacrificing support.
I could ask the company to send me an extra-soft Talalay to see how that works. Alternatively, the Dunlop is a little shy of the 3" height of the Talalay. I could try to place an egg crate topper (Turmerry and Cozy Pure make a latex one) either inside the cover under the wool quilting (could be tight, but the 1.4" one might fit). Or I could try to find another thin topper to place on top (wool, feather, or similar). I know I do NOT want a second 3" layer as I dislike skyscraper beds and that’s too much more height.
Any thoughts on what these options are likely to do and how to think about the tradeoffs? The extra-soft Talalay would be included in the comfort guarantee from the company, but if not likely to help I don’t want to ask them to ship another component to us (we’ve been through a few rounds already).
Thanks!
