Have OMF memory foam, topper thoughts?

We recently purchased the Serenity memory foam set from Original Mattress Factory. It seems well-put together and we're liking it quite a bit. It does not transfer motion nearly as much as our previous OMF spring mattress, and it does not sleep hot at all.

Their memory foam is a little different than others, as it react much faster than the Tempur Pedic, which I don't care for.

However, it is quite firm. Seems to be softening a little, but I think I'm wanting something I can sink into just a bit more, as I am having some comfort issues. I had hoped a new bed would help me sleep more soundly and wake less to flop around. While better, I'm not there yet. My s.o. is fine with what we have, but admits she can get comfortable on just about anything. I tend to prefer a firmer feel, but need a little more to sink into.

My thought is a topper would allow us to sink into the bed a little more, to let the foam do it's thing and provide even support, etc. So I've been looking around and found foambymail.com. They offer both memory foam and latex toppers. Our initial thought has been to do latex.

To note, I'm about 6'1", 165 lbs, she is about 5'5", 115-120 lbs. So we're not big people. She's a side sleeper, I sleep mainly on my back, but do switch to my sides as well.

They offer two different ILDs in the latex, 20 (soft) and 32 (they call medium, others list this ILD as firm). Any suggestions based on the above? We can do a 2,3 or 4", depending on material (no 4" in the latex). Or would a memory foam be smarter? We thought the mix of the latex topper with the memory foam may be the best of both worlds. 

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you may have.
