A latex-topped sleep system

Dear Pete, 


Everything I know about mattresses I have learned from your website in the last couple days -- thank you, thank you!
You've sold me on the benefits of latex, but, unfortunately, I'm on an extremely tight budget and can only afford to spend a couple hundred dollars for a mattress (to put on a full-size, slatted platform bed). A friend is selling a latex-topped sleep system that he has used for two years and I'm considering buying it from him -- but I'd love to run it by you, first: a 3" Natural Talalay Latex Comfort Layer 5.6lb density 32 ILD ($275 retail) stacked on top of a 5" Poly-HD High Density LUX Foam Support Layer 50 ILD ($120 retail), encased in a mattress pad. 
Do you think this is a suitable sleep system (for a side and stomach sleeper in her 20s weighing 130 lbs), or would I be better off buying some other kind of layer (or simply a cheap, firm mattress) to go underneath a latex topper? 
Another way to put the question: what's the best sleep system I can achieve on a budget of $200-300?
Thank you so much, in advance, for any thoughts you might have!
Best, Margot





Hi Margot,

It's always nice to meet and help a fan.

There is nothing new at that price that wouldn't be a waste of the little money you have.

The mattress you asked about is a lot of mattress for the money. The latex alone is worth $400.

The base poly foam layer is quite firm and should hold up well.

That mattress should have a very firm feel...firmer than the average female side sleeper would like. But, it's a great buy at that price and it's easy enough to soften the surface if you need to.

That is the best you can do with the money you have. 









Thanks, Pete
