Hi, Greetings to all!

I live in Canada and I am about to purchase a 100% All Natural Dunlop Latex bed from an online mattress site(Arizona Premium Mattress Company). I have been searching this forum and have found it quite helpful. Due to my disability (lower back issue) travel is problematic so it is difficult for me to test mattresses as there are no retailers in my area so this will be 'somewhat' of a blind purchase . I did manage to test a few mattresses so I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

Here is what I am considering:
2" of ILD 22 Dunlop (Topper)
3" of ILD 25-29 Dunlop (pressure relief layer)
6" of ILD 36 Dunlop (core layer)

I would like to know what ILD configuration other 'heavy' people like myself (I weight 270lbs) are using in their latex mattresses especially in the 'pressure relief' layer (please identify if your layers are Dunlop or Talalay). Any assistance anyone can provide is very much appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance!
