So here is my latest quest for the perfect mattress!   I think someone wiser than me on this forum once said that if you are 90% happy it's best to stop there and be thankful.  Too bad I don't listen.  I now am trying 1 inch of Sensus memory foam over my latex mattress.  The Sensus came from Overstock today and was in excellent condition....no complaints.  It measures just a bit over what they specify in their ad....about 58 X 79 for the Queen size.  It's a little smaller than my 3 inch top layer of latex but not enough to worry about.  It arrived in 10 days (which included 2 weekends).

I now have from bottom up:

8.5 inch encased Gardner Latex mattress ( 6 inch 40 ILD,  2.5 inch 32 ILD)

3 inch uncovered "medium" (24-28 ILD) natural talalay latex from FoamSweetFoam

1 inch Sensus 5 lb memory foam from Overstock

Washable wool and cotton mattress protector from Natura

 

The memory foam is to relieve a bit of the "push back" from the latex.  Will report the results in a day or two.

 

PS.  Have photos but don't know how to insert them directly into this message ???  (not a URL link)
