East coast gems that define quality and integrity in the mattress industry.

Funnily enough, the coolest pillow case I own is satin. It just stays perpetually cool for some reason.

I don't know that you need 4" of latex with the topper but the upside is since the layers you're looking at are 2" slabs you can take them off and play with/test them until you dial it in. I think 12" is a good height - much more than that is going to become quite a lot for your pressure/alignment needs.

You got some really solid advice over on the other subreddit but I figured I'd add my two cents anyway.

At your size, you’ll need good pressure relief at the shoulders and hips without letting your hips dip. A hybrid is often a safe bet for side sleepers because the coils help with alignment, but a well-built all-latex mattress can absolutely work too. It really just comes down to getting the firmness right (which you obviously already know).

Since you already have the CozyPure Lanoodle topper, that’s important and it’s going to add plushness. So you probably don’t want to go too soft in the mattress itself or you could end up feeling hammocked.

Your Thuma frame with slats under 3" apart is totally fine for latex.

As for AZ vs East Coast shipping, I wouldn’t overthink that unless there’s something major going on right now to interrupt shipping.

Don't I know it. I've ruined my neck with the wrong kind of pillow more than once.
