Not sure this DIY foam set-up is working...

Well, i guess this is what i get from trying to go cheap...! My set-up is:

3" LUX HQ
3" HD36-HQ
1 1/2" eggcrate HD36
1 1/2" eggcrate supersoft

It feels comfortable initially, but i have been awakening in the night just NOT comfortable...feeling pressure points, and just feeling like it's too *hard*..I'm not sinking into the cush like i'd like to (i guess there's not a whole lot of cush on it--yet). Last night i gave up and hauled my old innerspring (Englander, love it, but too much motion transfer!) over the foam setup, and LOVED sinking into--yet being supported by--the innerspring mattress. My foam setup keeps reminding me of ZZZZZsplease's remark that she felt as if she were on a 'mushy slab of concrete'!

But, maybe it can be remedied. I've ordered 1" of latex (soft) and 1" of Sensus memory foam, and a CuddleBed. But i'm thinking that i'm really missing the 'flex' i get from the innerspring mattress...Maybe an all latex core/toppers would help with this? Of course, i just shelled out money that i would LIKE not to go to waste...But i also would love something with some 'give' and with no motion.

*sigh*. Maybe i should have gone with latex the whole time?
