Hi All,
I sure would appreciate some suggestions from you knowledgeable folks.  We have a latex/memory foam mattress that is encased in a zipped up mattress cover that we purchased from Marks Bedding in Orlando around 5 yrs ago, we had this mattress on fake box spring (two xl twin - since the mattress is a king)   The box springs have broken and we purchased a new platform type bed - it has around 20 slats, but unfortunately the mattress sits too low in the platform bed.  Does anyone have any suggestions how we can raise the mattress up by around 5"  We could buy two new fake box springs locally but that would cost around $300.  My husband said we could buy another piece of thick foam, but I am not quite sure where to buy this and if this would make the bed too soft to add more then what we already have.  Our mattress consists of  28 ILD 3" Talalay Latex, 2" Foamex Resilitex, 4" Viscoelastic Memory Foam - the memory foam is on the bottom because I was finding it too hot.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
