I want to buy a latex topper to make our new ultra firm mattress a little softer.  My daughter has back pain problem and needs a firm supportive mattress. Regular firm is little too soft for her and ultra firm is a little too hard for her.  I am looking at FBM Talalay latex topper.  However, I have no idea what to get (soft 20 ILD or medium 32 ILD).

I went to a local Healthy Back store and tried to lay on their Latex Bed.  They have Pure Latex Bliss mattress “Peace” that has 1” Talalay S latex as the top layer.  They also have Pure Latex Bliss mattress “Nature” that has 3” Talalay SS latex as the top layer.  I like the firmness of” Peace” much better than “Nature”.  However, I don’t know what ILD of Talalay S latex in that mattress corresponded to.  The sale person has no idea. 

If any of you know ILD of Talalay S latex is I would really appreciated.  Thanks a lot!
