I am sorry if I sound redundant like a few before me; however, after reading the reviews for allergy suffers I purchased a latex mattress.  It is like sleeping on Gumby or a Wrestling Mat or Sponge bob.  I got it at a very reputable mattress place that has closed its doors after 76 years of operation.  Although they gave me a 20 year warranty, they will not honor it, since they are no longer in business.  It was expensive. I usually sleep on my stomach or side.  I toss and turn though, because I feel stuck wherever I lay and then sweat galore.

It was the firmest latex mattress they had.  It is very thick.  I need a better more cushiony mattress cover s than I all ready have which are a run of the mill plush cotton ones.  PLEASE help, I need suggestions, this venture has gotten to be expensive, but I will take heed to any suggestions for a good night's sleep finally.   My bones ache.  THANK YOU!!

P.S. I am allergic to wool!

Your setup is now almost exactly like mine. I also felt I was being "engulfed" at first when I had 3" of foam + the cuddlebed, but removing one layer of foram and turning the remaining slab egg-crate side down did the trick. It took me awhile of changing out toppers, putting them in different layers etc. to try and find just the right combination of toppers and foam. I hope your bed will be as comfy as mine now is.
