Last night latest try - poly foams 1 inch soft- 1 inch hard.  was a disaster.... waaaaaayyyyy too hard. I got up at 4 am and started playing musical toppers.  I should disclaimer my advice as coming from Thomas Edison.... just before he discovered the electric light!  It was said that after his 10,000 failure, he was asked "you have failed 10,000 times... don't you think you should give up?"  He replied" I haven't failed 10,000 times, I am getting closer, because I have eliminated one more way it can't be done!"

At 4 AM I resorted to an earlier attempt that was OK:   1 inch of 4 lb eco friendly memory foam from overstock.com (laugh) which is pretty good mem foam for cheap, but laughable streaky green!  Under that was 1 inch of 20 ILD latex.  I have been experimenting...

Latest try was 1 inch of 14 ILD latex from sleeplikebear.com on top, 1 inch of 20 ILD latex next from foambymail.com, and 2 inch latex which I believe to be at least 26 ILD which was supposed to be 20 ILD from foambymail.

I found that combo to sleep fairly well... only woke with minor back pain vs, my usual.  However, the 4 inches vs the 2 inches...

The good news is that you have come to the right place to try to find a solution, because a lot of us here have tried about everything.  The bad news you already know, how difficult it is to find a good mattress when the industry does everything to hide what is inside, and that it is a very personal choice based on needs, weight.. back or side, lumbar problems, etc.

Before I get lenthy, many folks have made a too hard bed perferct or acceptable with just one inch of latex topper.  In fact, not long...

We are actually having the same basic trouble in our store. Which is that we have this enormous gap to fill between say $1500 in a queen and $2500.  All of the truly really good quality queen sets are starting at atleast $2500 in a queen (this is in Canada of...

I haven't decided which way I want to go yet, whether to get a whole new latex mattress, or retrofit one of my innerspring models with either a talalay topper or through mattress surgery.

I have a Simmons Beautyrest Classic Plush Firm, only about 2.5 years old that has become too soft to tolerate any longer. Mine is a Hutson, but I believe it's exactly the same as the W Heavenly Bed. Anyway, I think the 5 inches or so of P/U foam has probably broken down in that short amount of time because it's really not like it was when new.  I also have a Mattress...

Model 640  10" Tempercoil:   Has a layer of foam on the top.  Feels a little stiff, not hard or harsh, but definitely not plush.  I still think I might like this set with a foam topper added to soften it slightly, unless it breaks in with use.  The cover was kind of tan or gray & black, and patterened, not white like the online catalog shows.  It's a stretchy fabric.  Also not a quilted flat-top like the catalog shows.  That quilted foam layer on top is obvious to the eye.   Good very firm mattress.   They called it Temperpedic Absolute Pearl-Lux.   Price was $1100 or maybe $1199 for the set.

I was looking at these mattresses in person (look through the website, they have many designs and versions, some where you can relocate the coco mat to a different level(s) in the mattress sandwich).

I read elsewhere (Bugsy?) that rubberized coco fiber mat is an ideal material for certain stiffening roles in bedding and upholstery, but it may be difficult to source. If it is so widely used, perhaps it can be sourced. 

Another option, is to cut the mattress open and insert a 1/4 inch plywood between the top layer and foundation layer.  I understand the top layer of latex is only 2" thick?  Is this possible?...
