I am a 6'1" male who has herniated disk resulting in low back pain, I weigh in at 210 pounds to 225 pounds depending on season of the year(in winter I eat more and my weight goes up). Further more, I sleep on my side.

 

In addition I like a soft sleeping surface.

****************************************************************

After reading some on this forum I am leaning on a latex mattress but I am thoroughly confused. I have several questions.

1.  What type of latex should I buy - dunlop or talalay or a mixture of both?

2.  what should be the height (thickness) of my latex mattress?

3.  what ILDS(?) should be my latex layers?

In what order should they be arranged on the bed so as to give me a soft sleeping top surface?

4.  Do Dunlop and Talalay feel the same or different when you sleep on them?

5.  Are ILDS of dunlop and talalay comparable?

6.  How would this arrangement feel?

SAY BUYING FROM SLEEPEZ

OPTION 1# 

Soft Dunlop  -       top layer

medium dunlop - 2nd layer below the top layer

firm dunlop    -   3rd layer below the top layer

firm dunlp   - bottom layer

Would this arrangement get me a soft sleeping surface? 

 

OPTION 2# 

Soft Dunlop - top layer

medium dunlop - 2nd layer below the top layer

firm dunlop - 3rd layer below the top layer

Xfirm Dunlop - bottonm layer

 

OPTION #3

Soft Talalay layer - top layer

medium dunlop - 2nd layer below the top layer

firm dunlop - 3rd layer below the top layer

firm dunlp   - bottom layer

Or other options that you can tell me that can give mea soft top sleeping surface but with enough support and pressure relief that can take my

weight/height/side sleeping position and low back pain into consideration?

OR  should I go with all Talalay latex.

Thanks very much for your time and help.
