Hi Pete,
I did what you recommended back in 2017.
You are the only mattress person who truly understands mattresses.
You suggested I purchase a firm mattress and a latex topper, and I did.
I purchased a Stearns and Foster firm mattress and a medium latex topper.
Sleeping on the latex topper is better than sleeping on the firm mattress, but I’m still having back pain.
I don’t think the topper it soft enough.
I added the comforter for cushion, because my hips are aching lying on top of the topper.
I do have bulging discs in my lower back, but my back isn’t the only thing aching.
If I get a softer topper, then I’ll be sinking which will also trigger the back pain.
Anything soft doesn’t give me the support I need and the firm mattress pokes my shoulders back and hips.
It’s been three years now and I still cannot find the right mattress.
There has got to be something out there for me.
Thanks, Nikki
Hi Nikki,
My normal recommendation is for a firm mattress and a soft latex topper.
You went with medium, instead.
The mattress is for support. The topper is for comfort.
You seem to be operating under the erroneous assumption that a soft latex topper will allow you to sink.
Latex does not allow you to sink.
Purchase a 3″ Soft Latex Topper. It creates the feeling that you’re floating.
The best of them is the Suite Sleep Pure, All Natural Vita Talalay Latex Topper.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase its longevity.
We recommend our Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector.
