I think all I've done for a few days now is try to figure this out! So I figured I'd ask for some help. I'm trying to decide between a Pure Latex Bliss Nature and customized mattress layers from Sleep EZ and/or Foam by Mail. I would like to stay around $2,500 for a king mattress with a foundation, if possible. If there's an economical option I'm missing please let me know...

Here's our stats:

Me: 105 pounds, mostly side sleeper, some back. I also need this mattress to get me through pregnancy in the next year or so.

Him: About 180 pounds, prefers back sleeping but usually ends up on side.

We definitely like a firm mattress (but not too firm!). I cannot stand pillow tops, feather beds, anything that feels really mushy and fabric-y below me.

My husband has had shoulder pain and problems with his arm falling asleep on a hard mattress (at least that's what he thinks it's from). He also wants to feel that his hip is supported when lying on his side. He's pretty tall and lean so I think some mattresses just don't support him enough.

I would like about 10 inches of latex, and I'm leaning toward 6 inches of firm dunlap as a base layer (like the Nature).

Any insights? Thanks in advance!
