Which Talalay latex foam topper for an old mattress?

Lydia writes:

I currently have a 20+ year old very firm Beautyrest mattress (bought directly from the plant as a previous employee) that is in good shape.  However, I am now in my late 50’s many pounds overweight with old back issues, and I have recently been experiencing pressure point issues in my shoulder as I am both a side and back sleeper.  I was thinking I needed a new mattress, but from reading your blog about the current manufacturing processes of mattresses I believe I need to purchase the Talalay latex foam mattress topper but am unsure if I should order the 1.5 or 2 inch.  Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Lydia
