I personally would not use memory foam at all in your case. You will also go right through 2" and probably 3" as well. You would also increase the risk of sleeping out of alignment with thicker layers of memory foam. If you did decide to go in that direction I would definitely put the latex on top of the memory foam to try to insulate it so it wouldn't "melt" as easily but then it may not be as soft as you want. Also if you go in that direction ... you would almost certainly need heavier density (preferably 5LB) and definitely not 3LB density. In your case I believe that latex is much more predictable and it is also more resilient so will help with support issues to a degree. Your tendency will be to sink in too far and memory foam will only make that worse. You...

I personally wouldn't use 1" memory foam as you will probably go right through it almost as if it didn't exist and it will likely wear out very quickly. I think in this case latex would be a much better choice both in terms of the overall construction and comfort and in terms of durability. Generally you need about 3" of good quality foam on top of firm springs to give good pressure relief (more or less depending on weight and sleeping style etc) so if 1" more of latex isn't quite enough then you can always add one more but it should be getting close with the poly underneath. I would probably also order the next layer with a slightly firmer ILD if you can (say about 24).

In the overall scheme of things it may be a step in the right direction and it would probably help a lot financially as well. It has less poly (although still more than I would prefer) and the coils are better ... but I'm just not sure of the suitability of any of the Simmons coils in your case. I would personally not go with a Simmons beautyrest pocket coil at all if I was in your circumstances but it does at least seem to me to be better that what you had. You would likely need a topper with it for the pressure issues as well.

http://bedcomattress.com/4420.html They make Restonic mattresses (regional maufacturer) and their own line called SleepEZ. They say the SleepEZ name is trademarked but I couldn't find it on trademarkia. The similarity between this and another popular supplier of make your own layered mattresses did make me wonder though.

http://www.parklanemattress.com/cartgenie/pg_locations.asp These are the one's I went to check out. Their factory store is the one in Tualatin and they have all their different models there to try at some very reasonable prices including a 9" all talalay latex mattress for $919 in queen (you would have to pick it up for this price). They have some very good mattresses here and some that are a little different from the ones you will usually see (microcoils in their pillowtop which I found very comfortable).

Portland has some wonderful choices in smaller manufacturers. I know this from personal experience since I actually took a trip from Seattle to Portland just to test some of them out. I'll post a little later with a few options but you have some good ones. What size mattress are you shopping for?

I could also get 2 inches of good quality memory foam and use it with the 1 inch of latex I have. How should I layer them? Latex on top or under? 

Is there anything worthwhile at Costco? Anyone has first hand experience with gel toppers?

Her husband delievered it an hour ago and you're right, it's much firmer. Even with my one inch latex topper and one inch egg crate, it's still a little too hard. What would be best to add? Another inch of latex or one inch of memory foam? At least, it's straight, so I can fix it.

I will definitely be checking these places out this weekend.  Is talalay latex superior to others?

I'm looking for a queen!

I appreciate the in-depth replies so far!  I am a side sleeper, sometimes stomach, but mostly on my side.  I weigh about 175 pounds.  I live in Portland, Oregon.  My girlfriend is also a side sleeper, weighing about 130 pounds and needs to be taken into consideration.

It seems latex is the popular choice 'round these parts.  I've looked into them, but what I've seen mentioned around here tends to be over my budget.  I'd like to stay around $850, but would consider waiting and saving if a more expensive mattress is truly the best choice.
