need advice for latex topper

There are so many choices for a latex topper.  I have a very firm coil mattress that has very little foam and no pillowtop.  I am using that as my base.  I plan on buying a 2" medium topper from FBM.  I'd like another top layer that is softer and I'm concerned the 20ILD from FBM will be too firm from what I've read here.  Any advice on where to buy a reasonably priced soft latex topper?  I also want to put a wool mattress pad on it, any advice on that would be welcome also.

 

Thanks.

Jeff

My thinking is to try it out this weekend and order another 3" of the soft ILD if it is still too firm.  Do you think I'll bottom out the 3" soft layer?

I would try it for a week or more.

The LI Talatech 28 over springs is probably advisable... not too soft.  Three more of 19-22 over that may be too deep (will sag) for you, if you are a front sleeper, but perhaps not... hard to know how the Latex will behave over the springs.  Take it one step at a time.  The basic Latex model is a 2" comfort layer over a 6" core layer.  Given the core is firm springs... and your weight, a little more comfort layer might work out.

For temp trial, you can fold the 3" 28 into 6" 28 and lay on it.  Fold gently and stay off the fold.  Note:  The higher the ILD, the more likely folding will tear the Latex, such as for 44 ILD.  Move the Latex around gently... no pulling, just rolling and flopping/jiggling into position.
