Latex topper for a too firm mattress in Canada.

Jamie writes:

Hi Peter,
We got a new mattress last October and settled on a Kingsdown “Kristen” (84635) from Sears in Canada.  We bought it in the firm version and in case you don’t have those models in the US, here are the specs…..
Kingsdown™ Soy Pur Advantage. All foams have the added benefit of natural Soy and are certified with low VOC and free from ozone depleting CFCs.

Kingsdown™ BluTek Gel Visco Foam provides deep contouring comfort and cooling comfort. Latex is extremely resilient and supportive, it provides deep pressure relief and luxurious comfort

Twin with 930 Pocket Coils, Twin XL with 962 Pocket Coils, Double with 1318 Pocket Coils, Queen with 1550 Pocket Coils and King with 1970 Pocket Coils

FIRM: 16 Gauge and PLUSH: 17 Gauge
22 oz. Wool and Hollo Fibre Blend, ½" Gel Quilting Foam and 1" High Density Foam

FIRM: ½" Three Zone BluTek Gel Visco, 1/2" Three Zone Latex, 2" Solid Firm Foam and Flexatron Support Pad. PLUSH: ½" Three Zone BluTek Gel Visco, 1/2" Three Zone Latex, 2" Plush Race Track Foam, Flexatron Support Pad

Flexatron Support Pad for an extra firm feel and a supportive nights sleep
Mattress is 15" high
100% Polyester
20 Year Limited Warranty (10 Year Non Prorated & 10 Year Prorated)

The issue we are running into it that the bed is just too hard for both of us (I’m 6’2 and 245 while my wife is 5’2 and 120).  It gives me hip issues (feels like glutes/lower back) and her shoulder problems sleeping on the bed (we are back and side sleepers).   Now not knowing much about how coil counts vs wire gauge are related, hopefully this mattress will hold up over time but if you suggest we made a mistake perhaps you could suggest another Simmons Sears Canada might carry.  We were certainly looking into latex toppers too which might help the bed situation, but we really need your help to figure out what the best setup might be to help us get a good night’s sleep without waking up sore in the morning.  Should my side of the bed have a different topper setup than hers due to weight differences? It’s all very confusing so your help is most appreciated.
Thanks again, Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Optimally, a body requires firm support and a soft sleeping surface for good night's sleep.
You already have the firm support. The pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support, which is the best type. 
We often recommend a firm Simmons Beautyrest with a soft latex topper.
The Beautyrests also use a pocketed coil.
It seems to me that all you need is a layer of soft latex to finish the job.
Two inches of soft latex is all it takes to relieve the pressure points and relax the muscles.
THIS, is what will give you the deep sleep you're after.
Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Latex toppers. You'll find 2 latex toppers, one with wool on top.
If you like wool, that's fine, but the lesser expensive of the two, the one without the wool, is all you need. Delivery is free throughout Canada...and, there's no sales tax.
