I recently bought a latex mattress and now i have an upper back and shoulder pain on my first sleep (I'm a side sleeper). Anyone can help me on this one. Here's my set up: 3" latex Rejuvenite 19ILD and 6" dunlop core (28-32 ILD tri core). 

 

which one you would recommend?

  • adding another layer of latex topper.
  • adding 2" memory foam
  • or a fiber bed

Any other recommendations?

Where did you purchase the mattress?  It sounds like  the problem  I had, I had 22ILD over 35ILD natural talalay.  I felt the 35ILD and caused hip  pain.   Budgy is right if it is onlly one night, that isn't enough time to tell.  I also have had Dunlop and that is firm  stuff.  Call your mattress  person and talk to them about getting something in between soft and firm (medium).  Good luck and keep us posted.

I bought the core and topper through arizona premium mattress. I think the problem is my pillow but not too sure. I'm currenty using a zoned high loft plush by malouf and it is just too soft; my head literally sinks into the pillow.

A lie....

 

I have tried a dunlop mattress and believe me even the softest one is rock hard. Don't waste your money.

And look out for posters with 1 post. usually they are trying to sell you something. You know Spams..

I know the product you purchased well and I do not believe it is a problem with the mattress components. If anything, it's the pillow choice. The topper you have "Rejuvenite" has been working great even for those with fibromyalgia. It could also be that you just need time for your body to adjust to a new sleeping surface. Give it a month, try a different pillow and see what happens. FYI, dunlop comes in many firmness levels and I have seen even super soft so if anyone tells you that all dunlop if super firm they just don't know the facts.

If you add any memory foam, I wouldn't add more than 1" of memory foam.  If you end up adding anything, I would only go another inch of 14 ILD latex.  Any more than that, you risk getting it too soft and creating back pain.  It could be that your 3 inches 19ILD is too soft and you are feeling the dunlop base through it.  It might have been better to have a little more support before hitting the hard dunlop.   I agree that you should give it a little more time before doing anything and then the pillow is the first thing to look at.  Just my opinion based on personal experience.  Good luck.
