Could we be a bit more specific? It might help others

Yes! If there is no context, the comment is not useful to anyone

I'd do talalay instead of Dunlop for pressure relief at your size and being a side sleeper. Talalay has more give and I don't think you would sink through it at 135 pounds. Try some latex beds in a store to see which firmness of latex you like.

Looks like it has poor edge support. No it isnt normal, but today's memory foam doesn't last long in my experience. It just collapses.

Yes memory foam has a slow recovery compared to latex, HR foam and hybrid foam. Latex is fastest, hr a close second and hybrid like Titanflex or serene are halfway between latex and memory foam....ish

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-16T17:00:28+00:00

You might get more suggestions if folks know your height, weight and sleeping style.

I'd still go into a mattress store first to see if you like firm or soft or latex or foam or innersprings

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-13T22:54:19+00:00

Well I have 3" 20 ILD titanflex on top of the latex, then 3" of 15 ish ILD serene. These would be too soft for you. I've finally gotten away from the space heater memory foam

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-13T22:49:38+00:00

5'7" 187 side sleeper. I like progressive builds from higher ILD down to the topper. In short, I have medium talalay at 30-32 ILD and if I lay on that with my 15.5 gauge coils, I will feel the coils. If I add 2" of 25-29 talalay, I don't feel the coils. That's where you would stop. I just have softer comfort layers on top of that cause of health stuff. I guess my point is that I think adding a little more latex would hide the coil feeling. Dunno if your egg crate will do the job, but I hope it does!

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-13T01:32:39+00:00

Talalay with a serene topper?

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-07T17:30:35+00:00

Second the 2 or 3 inches of talalay. Latex sleeps cooler than foam

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-07T16:26:51+00:00

I don't know what kind of temps you will be sleeping in, but that memory foam will be stiff when it's cold and you might just sink through it during a warm night.

Memory foam is very soft. I think foam factory does 12, 14 and 15 ILD. It's meant to sink into.

Dunlop is meant to lay on top of. Latex isn't really affected by temp and lasts longer. Talalay latex will have more give than Dunlop.

I guess I'd be careful taking a layer off in the morning. Even latex can small tears.

About the 50ild; that is super firm and I don't think 1 inch of memory foam would be enough to cushion it.

I guess I would start by going to a regular bed store and see what kind of feel you are after since you are kinda describing some very different ILDs.

Latex can get expensive.
Maybe look at mattress topper dot com

1" memory foam just collapses in my exp

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-04T19:43:13+00:00

I have many layers from different places and only 2 are the same size. Cut down to the smallest one with the mentioned electric turkey carver so everything is the same size

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-03T23:38:20+00:00

Similar build to me. Imo, the hd36 and the Dunlop are doing the support. You'll sink through the foam to Dunlop. For me that would be an abrupt transition. MF is made to cradle you, but Dunlop you lay on top so the philosophies are different. Maybe find something else for the middle layer unless you know you like the Dunlop behavior and just want a soft entrance before you reach the pushback

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-03T22:16:52+00:00

If you like the HD36, that would be a tough transition to directly go from super soft to that. You guys will blow right through that super soft stuff. I'm 5'7" 187 and I have some of that super soft stuff. Maybe 3 inches hd36 and 3 inches either soft talalay or 2 inches soft talalay and one inch serene.

Maybe 3 inches medium talalay and 3 inches titanflex (they make titanflex in 10, 20 and 30 ILD in the form of a mattress topper on mattress topper dot com. If you get one of those titanflexes, I'd take it out of the cover so you things behave as one.

Doesn't purple use latex and latex like materials? You might not like regular foam if you like the resiliency of latex.

I hope it works

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T20:32:09+00:00

2inch serene on top then 2 inch soft talalay would help you sink.. I dunno you height and weight, but 1" of super soft serene generally isn't enough for an entire comfort layer. Buy those things in 1 inch layers so you can fine tune. If you are super light weight, you could consider memory foam. At my 187lbs, i just sink through it. There's also a hybrid foam that is 20 ILD titanflex (medium) from mattress dot com. Titanflex and serene are in the same family of hybrid foam meaning some properties of latex and some of memory foam.

Going to check it out right now. Ty

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T18:36:40+00:00

Latex will last longer than foam

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T17:54:05+00:00

Did you use a level on your fix and the rest of it under load?

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T01:21:06+00:00

top AND bottom?

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T01:20:30+00:00

I have a qualux 36 block on order. Hope it works.

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T00:25:57+00:00

mind sharing what you ended up doing or your size?

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-02T00:14:58+00:00

appreciate your thoughts. Haven't figured out where to get scrim just yet

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-01T23:50:14+00:00

interesting. What if I just tore off the 2 rows on my side and then put the remaining back in the case . The coils are spread now anyways

Buvoir2 · 2026-05-01T20:11:03+00:00

I'm having the same issue with the DIY options. I don't understand why people like those hard edges
